To be fair, you’re both right.

People on this sub are pretty protective of the city OP and most of the questions we get are from out-of-town folks who have some pretty deeply rooted biases against Baltimore. We can be a little mean when we get another post asking about safety because it’s over asked. Sorry this person came at you so hard 😅

I’d recommend searching safety and regions on the sub! Tons of posts with detailed responses exist and are easy to find. There also is a great crime dashboard you can check out here.

I’d also suggest googling segregation in Baltimore and redlining (white L, black butterfly, etc). I know that doesn’t mean much to you as a delivery driver but as a student in the region, I think it’s critical for everyone to be educated on.

Baltimore has a long and rich history that helps explain what neighborhoods have higher crime, etc.

Okay, maybe I was a little harsh because the post came off as so clueless. But, i honestly don't think just saying: read this and you'll understand WHY you should avoid high crime neighborhoods gets at what OP was asking. They were obviously looking for a list/map or whatever of areas they should avoid which tells me they put no effort into figuring this out themselves beforehand. I was less upset about the same question on crime coming up and moreso frustrated at the general laziness the internet seems to create. It's easy to just hop on here and ask away and wait for someone to do the work for you.
