Problems for sure. I was thinking more about the people who won’t come to the city because “it’s dangerous.” I moved to the city from Harford County in 2020 and you would have thought I was moving to Gaza. Meanwhile it’s the best decision I ever made. I’ve never been happier.

Read this if you want to know why people in the country think Baltimore is a shithole.

This Fox article today might belong in the hall of fame of bad faith use of statistics.
The headline cites a "spike in car thefts in some Baltimore districts" and the body goes on to point out some crazy increases: 62% in Northwest! 30% in Central! Sounds like a real City in Crisis, right? A 🧵:

Fox Baltimore headline: Man's car stolen from garage amidst spike in car thefts in some Baltimore districts

Recent data from the Baltimore Police Department indicates a rise in auto thefts in three of the city's nine districts over a seven-day period, with a 30% increase in the Central district, 62% in the Northwest district and 12% in the Eastern district.

Last week, five districts reported increases.
