Baltimore was a nice city until the late 60's when people started to flee to the suburbs. Then it became 90% Democratic, black, and they people of Baltimore all decided working was not for them. There are no big cities in the US run by the give it all away party, Democratic to non tax payers, that I would ever consider living in under any circumstances except jail confinement in a few of them. Our jail prisoners have cable in their cells, Skype on a cell monitor and internet access from their cells. Add on free medical care and food. No wonder no one fears jail here.

When one party wins all the elections there is no one to keep them honest. So they can just give away going ever deeper in debt. That's today's Baltimore 90% black, run by blacks. demanding their fair share of everyone else's money. California is going downhill the same way. A friend explained it to me 40 years ars ago when he said all the normal people were moving out of California as fast as they could. Then he said what was left would be Socialist, Communist and Democrats if you could seperate them. Now I add in a few libertarians as well.
