Idk I'm from northeast Baltimore but I've been in Detroit metro for awhile now. When I think of Baltimore's worst neighborhoods I typically think of blocks like 1825 N Chester St https://maps.app.goo.gl/gLa2qbyhKbAzdJTa7
Detroit and other rough midwest cities are less dense though so I think the empty fields between houses might give some areas a more desolate feel. The worst neighborhoods I've been to in Detroit have been off 6, 7 and 8 mile where it still looks bad but it's not like the streets where every house is burned down or half the block is missing.
Oh don't get me wrong, Baltimore has more than it's fair share neighborhoods/streets that look totally bombed out. I was just responding to the annoying miss-conception that all of Baltimore's worst neighborhoods look like Iraq or Syria, when those are more the exception to the rule than the norm.
I do agree the visual dystopia of Baltimore comes down the fact its housing stock is orders of magnitudes more structurally dense the Detroit so everything is going to be accordingly more in "your face."

How does Philadelphia have more murders than NYC? Same goes for Baltimore. Wow.
Philly has had more homicides than NYC everyyear for the past 4 or 5 years. Baltimores reaaaly surprising. NYC has 5.3 times Philly's population, but it has 14.5 times Baltimore's population!

Over the same land area, it's more 4x the size of Philly and 8x the size of Baltimore. Administrative boarders skew the city sizes.
Still Philly & Baltimore or on some next level idgaf in terms of their raw numbers.
The more I know/ learn about NYC in general, the more I truly think it's the best City in the World, (Not just in the US though), Of course most people can't afford to own a Home there, but who care's the City is Fantastic, I wish LA had the same Urban Layout, & I wish Chicago had less Crime, both Cities have Deficiencies in which NYC doesn't. The only real City IMO that's like NYC is Toronto, & even then, Toronto is not as much of a Player as NYC, & say London, but I do like Toronto more than London & also NYC more than London, between it & Toronto I'd say I like both pretty equally tho.
Toronto's a Happy Medium/ replacement for NYC though IMO, I even heard Gary Vee (Native New Yorker & Entrepreneur), saying that Toronto felt "New Yorkie" to him, & after NYC it's the City in the World he would live in the most. IMO Toronto has fewer Deficiencies than Chicago, (where it comes to Crime), & is more Urban than LA, it just isn't as big as either, but I still think it's more reasonable to believe it's World Class on a level like NYC than any of the other Big US Cities though, Toronto's claim to fame always took me as a bit more reasonable than the other Big North American player's.
How Calgary and Montreal always been interested in those Canadian cities.

NYC has more gentrification than Philly and Bmore people are getting priced out in hoods in Brooklyn and Bronx. NYC is more of destination than those two cities. Center City in Philly is nice along with couple of middle class neighborhoods edge of Philly. It must cheaper place to live.
NYC is truly a model city for others to look up to. Went from one of the most dangerous cities in North America to one of the safest in only two decades and a half decades.
