I know dc is an area that’s changed dramatically! I can’t imagine the shifts you’ve seen. I’m sorry if my post came off that way - but I definitely don’t expect where I live to be a perfect Disney world. I think I’ve just been spoiled by the ease of where I live now.

I live close enough to the Capitol now that I regularly leave neighbors apartments/homes at 1am after parties on weekends and have never encountered an issue. This is nice! But I know not everywhere is like this so I’m trying to wrap my mind around what to expect if I moved to Bolton Hill.

Trust that I wouldn’t consider even looking at Baltimore if I only watched the news/headlines!
