I don't. They never enter my mind. Should they?

I would move to DC in a heartbeat, if you think Brooklyn and Manhattan is bad with gentrification, check out Washington D.C its full of Transplants and its full of New Yorkers too.

*Think* about Baltimore and Washington?

We don't!

What is there to think about?

Baltimore? Ghetto city.

D.C.? Government, Beltway, politics. That's it!

Oh, yeah, almost forgot, The Wire!!!

The Wire? OMFG!! Nothing is that bad in NYC!! Thank You, Rudy G!!!

I think we're done here.....

Why would you want to move to DC? In my opinion it's such a bland depressing city I have family there and every time I go I'm bored out of my mind.

I never been to Baltimore but it seems mad ghetto

lol you guys watch too much TV. Good show though Lil Omaaar lol

Anyways it depends whether you are black or white. In those two cities you'll face less discrimination and see a lot of the wealth more evenly distributed. For example:

In NYC you only see rich white people in the million dollar condos. Just go to Harlem lol only one black family in the building. In DC and Maryland quite the opposite.


Still, both areas have plethora of problems- murder rate, poverty, drugs, etc. Of the three, Manhattan is better. At least I can walk home after 6pm without getting jumped.



Been to both cities, but only as a tourist. Never lived there.
