I know the person who did that web app - it’s because the article just uses census tracts whereas the DoP used census blocks and aggregated up into custom geographies using a proportional split methodology, followed by some slight hand-aligning of groups to new geography. This means that some neighborhoods might have about 5-10% margin of error in population, however it’s important to remember that app is to provide general context/understanding with Baltimore’s super custom neighborhood geography

Evidence definitively proves you wrong. I'm not sharing opinions, I'm sharing facts based on extensive peer reviewed research. You are simply wrong. It's basically like you're calling the world flat.

It's extra disappointing because what you're calling for (charging and incarcerating youth as adults) is proven to cause higher rates of recidivism, which is exactly opposite the end goal.

Question: do alleys get plowed if it snows? Most people on my block park behind their houses so we use the alley, just curious if the city will plow that or if we need to get the shovels lol

Once again more excuses. Just because you weren't raised right doesn't give you a free pass to whatever you want. Just because you might have had a hard time in life doesn't give you the permission to rob people. I was bullied every day in school since 4th grade. I don't take my shitty experience and use it as an excuse to rob/rape people.

Those kids know what they are doing, they should be tried as adults and live in a cell for a few years. Its the same reason we charge kids as adults when they murder someone. Kids aren't stupid and using those excuses just gives them an easy out.

Hamilton, Tissot, Seiko, Longines, etc are at most major department stores like Macy's or Nordstroms.

Junghans might be harder to find, though I think Little Treasury in Gambrillis sells them (and are AD for a lot of other brands as well)

>I did respond to what you wrote. I told you it was not the 'solution' that you think it is because it is a generational strategy.

It's exactly the solution I think it is. I don't disagree it won't have immediate results, that doesn't mean it isn't the answer. You haven't made any attempt to say it isn't.

> you need an immediate solution to address it.

Right back at you. I haven't heard anything constructive from you on that subject besides doing more of what's already failed.
