Camden has been deteriorating years ago. Chicago is full of crime and corruption, Los Angeles welcomes all illegals... deep in debt.. Many cities are deteriorating..I guess you don't get around to see the decaying cities.

Baltimore is an awful city BUT its economy is heavily concentrated in biotech and medicine (JHU) so the city should be able to shield itself from further economic decline. The city is nowhere near as bad economically as Detroit. Personally I think Detroit's decline is anomalous and it won't happen to other big cities. It will happen in smaller cities such as Gary (where it has already happened) but not to major cities.
True but keep in mind JHU and the hospital are the biggest property owners in the city and they're tax exempt. You have a high property tax rate, high office vacancies, poor schools and high crime. Hopkins can't save Baltimore from the human capital problem.

Atlanta (and all of Georgia for that matter) FINALLY made a wise decision during the last election. They voted down TSPLOST. Not that it wasn't a worthwhile project... instead the focus was on the fact that there was no accountability by the politicians spending the money. I think it'll pass eventually when details are given. It's a nice change to see everyone on the same page when it comes to accountability, so I'm hoping Atlanta is going to hit another upward trend...
high taxes, very little job growth, bullsh!t gun laws, people of high income are leaving by the day, and massive state and city unions demanding more and more.

All that and so much more. With the exception of a just a few cities the whole Midwest is in trouble.
