I would say 20% is not the majority or a large percentage. I would also say it also doesn’t substantiate the claims made here .

Being as it’s been done before in other places (Cleveland and been talked about doing something similar in others, it’s worth the trying. Clearly it’s a good idea.

Where is the cited sources

Yeah I read this in 2017 when it came out. 20% isn’t a “large majority”

Yeah, that doesn’t substantiate any claims made. This is from 2013 there’s no one data. “Police say” well where’s the hard numbers… police say a lot of things

People are always going to try and get over whenever they think they can get away with it, but, it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen or that it can’t be done

Hmm Not seeing anything citing 25%-50% figures

I did. There’s nothing with any official data backing your claim. Just vague stories. Do you have something with numbers because I’d like to see numbers.

So where’s the Google source

Do you have the date on your claims I’d love to see a source?

That’s why liability waivers our thing

And it’s behind Chicago, Philly and LA

By of these smoke shops

Im not talking about “environments”. Im talking about the sizes of homes/style. No shit the environments are different that’s by design. Those are early 1900s streetcar cul de sacs for wealthy WASPs, the latter are are also streetcar suburbs, but they were blocked busted, but the opposite side is only objectively shitty till Loch Raven blvd in most cases.

Edited for clarity and detail

The alameda is no more “crime ridden” then anywhere else. The point is the house are just as nice and big on both sides of old York/ York road . It’s somewhat rough east till you get closer to Loch Raven blvd. But the majority of them are is great conditions

I mean did the old big houses in Govans, original Northwood, the big houses on the Alameda, and how are you? Ednor gardens? Cause those neighborhoods or or the opposite side of York road and they are stately and well kept to varying degree too

That’s old east coast port cities

I lived in Mount Vernon for 7 years from 2012-2019 ( was in reservoir hill prior to) in various buildings, and loved my time in the neighborhood. It is by far my favorite. It was hard for me to move away to the SE side in Canton and now Highlandtown (which is quickly becoming a favorite).

It’s hard to beat the overall central access to everything the city has to offer in MV. The best of best food,bars, cafes, etc are/were located in MV. The best architecture, rich history, diversity is there. It’s true city life there. I met interesting an worldly people out and about. And from MV it’s easily to get to everywhere else. It’s also the transit hub.

I personally no problems while living there. Not even a stolen package. I know others weren’t so lucky. But overall MV is one of the safest neighborhoods. Kept your general good wits about you and use you smarts. The neighborhood does pay for extra private security funded by the local businesses. They also pay for neighbor cleanupvia Midtowncommunity benefit district. There’s MTA, UB, MICA police patrolling around.

810 cathedral street beautiful huge apartment was managed by Thornhill property, they have several buildings around the neighborhood and they are phenomenal. I maybe biased as the founder/owners son is my friend. But they run a excellent business and are top notch. Now Walters owns that block. It’s right next door to the hotel revival. It’s was apartments and I bar when I lived next door.

I lived in the Belvedere rented thru a private condo owner. Loved it there also.

I lived at horizon house for several years, I loved my time there, it has a month too pool which is rare in this city. Had no complaints except for maintenance people stole thousands of my items when I funded out.

I also lived in the whole 7 bedroom mansion on Preston with a bunch of friends.

Look into the Fitzgerald, Gallery Towers, The Lucy, the Suites, The Tobee, it’s really better to walk around and get places via signs on windows

Yup because I’m not wrong 🙃

You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Let me guess you’re extremely white and grew up in the suburbs? So let me teach you.

Baltimore does definitely have corner stores/bodegas. They are the same thing. Our corner stores/bodega are small business by immigrants. Not 7/11 which are nothing of the same (sounds racial)

First of all. Corner store and bodega are interchangeable. You didn’t actually read any of the articles. Because bodega is the Spanish word for corner store. And yes the three previous links are indeed about Baltimore. Here they are again. No shit prices are higher at small businesses.

“The irony is that corner stores have made a come-back in many come-back neighborhoods. Bakeries, coffee shops, even occasional butcher shops have sprung up in the revitalizing communities of Remington, Hampden and Washington Village. In Pigtown's "main street" on Washington Boulevard Ms Pugh herself ran a consignment store while she was State Senator, celebrating the renaissance of retail there. Of course, most of those corner stores in the disenfranchised neighborhoods in Harlem Park, Sandtown, Park Heights and Rosemont are a far cry from their reincarnated brethren on revitalized "main streets". But are they any less useful? In neighborhoods where more than 30% of buildings are vacant sagging hulls and where up to 75% of households have no access to cars those stores are one of the few places that provide a sign of life. For example, all of the feature ATMs, and a way to get cash in communities that to this day are "redlined" by banks. Shuttering the ones that are not so well run or cause frequent disturbances would certainly not mean that another, better one would magically appear. It would most likely mean that even fewer services are available and another building would stand vacant.”

“The organization of Korean store owners (KARGO) started a scholarship program 23 years ago. with annual grants going to students in neighborhoods where member stores are located. Mayor Rawlings Blake together with Johns Hopkins had begun an initiative of enticing corner stores to sell fresh foods and reduce the problem of food deserts (Baltimarket) although from several defunct weblinks it isn't clear if the program still continues. Zoning and the liquor board have addressed the problem of too many liquor stores.” Source:https://communityarchitectdaily.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-corner-store-blight-or-savior-of.html?m=1

“Lee’s Mini Market serves a community that is 97% Black and where half of families live below the poverty level, where there are few shopping options and limited access to healthy food. As in most corner stores, the shelves at the market are stocked primarily with non-perishables: chips, canned soup, plastic-wrapped desserts and soda. It also has a limited selection of healthier offerings, such as rice and dried beans, lettuce, frozen vegetables, bananas, potatoes and onions.”

“ABSTRACT As part of a 2009 revision to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, the Department of Agriculture required WIC-authorized stores to stock additional varieties of healthy food. The long-term effects of this policy on access to healthy food are unknown. Using surveys conducted in 118 Baltimore City, Maryland, food stores in 2006 and 2012, we examined associations of the change in healthy food availability with store type, neighborhood demographics, and the 2009 WIC policy change. Overall, healthy food availability improved significantly between 2006 and 2012, with the greatest increases in corner stores and in census tracts with more than 60 percent black residents. On an 11-point scale measuring availability of fruit (3 points), vegetables (4 points), bread (2 points), and milk (2 points), the WIC policy change was associated with a 0.72-point increase in WIC-relevant healthy food availability, while joining WIC was associated with a 0.99-point increase. Stores that carry a limited variety of food items may be more receptive to stocking healthier food than previously thought, particularly within neighborhoods with a majority of black residents. Policies targeting healthy food availability have the potential to increase availability and decrease health disparity.” Source: https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/pdf/10.1377/hlthaff.2015.0632
