They have two very good medical schools in Baltimore so it's not because of lack of access.
Berne's lying again. Baltimore has been a high crime inner city area for decades. The only bright spot is they can say they are better off than Camden NJ. I used to make a point when traveling the northeast to stop in the harbor area for something to eat. After the riots I probably won't step foot in Baltimore again. So it's not my fault Berne. The residents of Baltimore have put people on notice that no one is welcome in Baltimore. I'm sure if you look at Federal and State spending Baltimore has gotten more than its fair share of money over the years.
Increasingly these cities are funded by nothing BUT government spending; there really is no viable tax base left (and the attacks on civilization ensure there never will be). These are just Indian reservations under a different name; the populations completely dependent on government wealth transfers, and increasingly even looking at gambling as a revenue source.
The problems for most people happen when raiders cross the frontiers of the welfare reservation (where everything of value is nailed down/buttoned up) and rampage through “softer” targets...
