How does Baltimore have nearly as many homicides as Philadelphia?!!!
Unlike just about every other city, Baltimore doesn't have a concentrated area or select neighborhoods with high homicide rates, it's pretty much the entire city. Even St. Louis has a relatively safe stretch from downtown out to Forest Park and south of Delmar Avenue.
Entire city is broken, no one takes accountability and there's no hopeful projects projecting some bright future. City's best move has been its recent bulldozing of abandoned homes/crack dens Detroit-style, but it has a long way to go.

Uhh...this outlook is wrong on several accounts. In fact, there is a large safe stretch throughout the center of Baltimore and extending north and south out onto the peninsula, almost identical to the STL “contrast” you chose. The homicides in the city are strongly polarized to near west and east sides.
Also, if you think there are no developments happening in Baltimore, you clearly haven’t been keeping up...there was just a new 40+ story skyscraper built (largest constructed in MD), there’s an even larger skyscraper being rendered for the area, there are several cranes lining the harbor and part of the east side, Port Covington is a billion$+ development currently underway...
I mean, Baltimore has enough problems without having to pile inaccuracies on top of it.

The city is still losing population when most others have turned around and are gaining. A few, subsidized showcase projects aren't going to turn around the many struggling areas where homes are either abandoned or crack dens.
Re: Baltimore vs. St. Louis, compare the maps. The only part of Baltimore that's homicide free is around Johns Hopkins, and you can't walk there from downtown without dipping into some incredibly bad neighborhoods. Contrast that to St. Louis, where you can walk to Wash U Hospitals and the Central West End, a top going out neighborhood, and then out to Forest Park and Wash U and Delmar Loop without hitting awful neighborhoods. I've walked in both cities, and Baltimore felt orders of magnitude more dangerous, especially the minute I stepped off Pratt St.
