Really Baltimore's not as bad as the Wire, the riots and this story.
As with any city it's best you avoid certain crime ridden areas, but other then that it's great! The low cost of living in the surrounding counties and Govt IT jobs where salary ranges from 120 to 250k are fairly plentiful. Also, traffic isnt too bad, there is a tech scene, a startup scene and good amount to do in and outside of the city.
- backtoyoujim 9y agoHow can you avoid places like that if your mom or dad can only afford places there ?
- doktrin 9y agoI almost never say shit like this, but you are clearly speaking from a position of significant privilege. Obviously the cops aren't planting drugs on yuppies and tech workers, nor do you live in one of the many terribad parts of that city.
- paul7986 9y agoHuh I was just saying Baltimore is not a bad city especially if these negative stories paint a different picture and in ones mind not a positive one. Thus, I was pointing out positive aspects of this city that are available to everyone! As for being privileged I am not rich nor have parents that are wealthy rather about middle class. My startups I started and made no money off we’re all paid for by myself from savings or grants I received from incubators. Thus anyone who wants to can work hard .. save money .. do a startup to either hit the jackpot or use the experience to learn an on demand skill. I am no way making 120 to 250k in Govt IT but know friends who are after ten or more years. Maybe I will one day and if so that would be great .. though it would come after years of hard work.
