But for singles and DINKs it's definitely a place to consider.

It's a very underinvested city. Unfortunately it never reclaimed its advantage of having an excellent natural harbor, which could have made it a great trading center for the 21st century.

Is there any or no community reinvesting from the big companies and/or sport franchises?

Baltimore has great bones and it still has some great neighborhoods. I can see it coming back.

I would rather live almost everywhere else in the country over that giant ghetto that is Baltimore.

An enormous amount of strip malls outside the city - more than in this area.

I've been to Baltimore twice. The first time we drove through the hood - Druid Hill Avenue and it reminded me of Harlem. Second time I went to the Inner Harbor and I like it a lot.

Public transit is also pretty sucky from what I understand.
