It’s only going to get worse.
The big difference between the US cites and those cities in the real 3rd world is there poverty and despair in 3rd world cities but no hate. In US inner cities you can feel the hate, the fear and loathing. It’s in the air.

Current Mayor of Baltimore.
One area of Baltimore called Fells Point. It’s filled with lots of bars and restaurants. The area is historic. It used to be a safer area, As the rest of Baltimore, violence crept in. This past Spring it got so bad that a few dozen restaurant and shop owners wrote/signed a letter to the mayor stating that if they do not start patrolling the streets and protecting the area, they would stop paying taxes.
Another Democrat lead utopia…
Neither of which you would hire if you owned a Dairy Queen.
He didn’t mention one problem, if citizens stand up to protect themselves as he is urging, they will be prosecuted as criminals. Sad but true.
And they will just auction the property to a wealthy insider to provide low cost housing with the rent sibsidies paid by the city.
Agree. Baltimore is awful but many other American cities and urban areas are not far behind. This is going to be a long term, if not permanent, problem which explains the exodus out of the blue areas.
I am curious what happened...a quick search found a podcast where Baltimore Police flooded the area, but I doubt they prosecute anyone.
I am near Philly, with a daughter at one of the center city schools working on a real degree, and she returned after Christmas break to find a bullet hole thru her office window.
The Stadium/Inner Harbor/Little Italy/Fells Point areas used to be heavily policed and safe to visit. Then the Freddie Gray fiasco happened and the police were neutered. It’s been all downhill since then.
The question is: “Why did they choose to live in Baltimore to begin with?”
I’ll give the answer in 30 minutes.
What did they expect in democrat run cities?
I don’t think it’s possible in that area as it’s historic. One bar is the oldest continuous run saloon since 1775.

Indianapolis is headed that direction. We have a second term democrat mayor and a majority democrat city council. Our murder rate is soaring. Places that used to be considered safe aren’t any longer. Our downtown is one of those areas. Our beautiful canal area that we spent millions of dollars building has now had two murders and many unsolved assaults. Even the people who live in the expensive condos don’t sit outside at night. And the allure of the area being walkable is a joke after dark. But we support BLM, teach CRT in the public schools, have a big Pride parade every year supported by the city and major employers, and have a large LGBTQ representation on our city council. So I guess it’s all good.
