Pratt St resident here as well. What we saw happen in Highlandtown a decade or so ago is slowly happening in Mount Clare/Union Square/Hollins Market. We are getting a bad name over here due to the drug crime. We are also not a food desert nor are we a night life desert. We have a handful of good bars and restaurants that are not gaining traction because the word of mouth is to be afraid of anything west of MLK. Don’t listen to the influencers hyping of Atlas bullshit or bad bougie Canton spots.

That being said, MLK is an abomination that needs to be like, put underground or something? I have no idea. Compare President St to MLK and its obvious one was made to cut half the city off. It isn't just a matter of trying to reduce it, maybe build bridges over it?
