Basically baltimore put all its money into tourist and downtown area near it (you probably know The Harbors in Baltimore)..While the low-middle class workers in East and West baltimore who built the city were abandoned and given up on..Now look at Baltimore, thats two large sections of city the average person doesnt even want to step foot in and one of the most dangerous cities in america..Newport News is very far away from having 600 thousand people, but the path is taking the same shape, East End on one side (east baltimore), Denbigh on the other far end (west baltimore)..both being "givin up on" in favor of development in other areas..I just dont want to see that happen here in 25-50 years..
