Of course I blast those sources. They're corrupt.

The irony bleeds on the "character" front... since this discussion has nothing to do with character. I'd venture you're on speed dial with CD to edit your insults in your posts.

Probably should ignore you at this point. We'll see.

Yeah whatever. Talking to a brick is more fulfilling than going back & forth with that Neanderthal.

Anyway I'm sure Seattle is a great city (never been there before admittedly). It's definitely grown to become one of America's more impressive cities.

I think Baltimore is often underrated though - a combination of our national image & being the smallest of the 5 big NE corridor cities. If any of you get anytime though - I definitely recommend stopping by. There's a lot of positive economic activity happening in Baltimore City right now despite what's regularly broadcasted over the national media.

Also two things worth thinking about in regards to both cities - they're major seaports for their respective coasts. Baltimore just welcomed its first super-ship from the newly expanded Panama Canal a week or so ago.

Race relations?
Seattle is not holding onto race like other cities do.
I lived in Atlanta for 3 years, and am amazed how people in that city want to make race relations everything.
Their every waking moment is about the race of another person...white vs black is prominent
It is bred into them early on.
Seattle doesn't live in that world.
Nope

Great timing with BLM standing up for George Floyd and showing why race relations are a serious issue in the US? You couldn't have picked a better week to write this post.

I’d prefer Seattle itself, but I’d rather live in the West/Southwest Baltimore suburbs because you have access to 2 major cities.

You probably say priviledged statements like "I don't see color" and have a "don't tread on me license plate".

All else being equal, I'd rather not live in a city where there are so many areas where there's a significant chance of getting mugged or my car broken into/stolen during the daytime. There's really nowhere like that in the Seattle metro.
