Reply to comment by dopkick in Baltimore Sees Steep Drop in Unhoused Residents by real_human__bean

Very well said. Oh and by the way... West Baltimore is any thing west of Charles St.

People fail to understand that Baltimore is quilt city and you have patches of good and patches of bad. This isn't to say that the people who live in each patch are all good or bad per se but that the area may be dangerous to be in especially if you aren't from there. Or it could be really nice neighborhood with plenty of amenities to enjoy.

Oh and if you think people are doing bad because you say mean things about their neighborhood. How do you account for a time when people referred to them by some really mean words and actually treated them as if they were less than human?

Arguing over semantics is a distraction from the real issues and sadly people get caught up in that all the time here

Honestly, I wish it was just a distraction. While it's definitely a distraction, I think it's also, quite unfortunately, a willful manifestation of massive amounts of narcissism. People want to make the issues that have little to nothing to do about them all about them. They want to be at the center of the universe and broadcast their stardom all over social media.

Ding, ding, ding!! Who's more trustworthy? A person who helps you privately or a person that does good makes themselves look and feel better?
