Sounds like you better change your practices.Ken wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2023 1:10 amI'm not talking about schools, or even Baltimore specifically. The fact is that over the past 50-70 years we have spent trillions of dollars subsidizing endless suburban expansion while starving inner cities of economic development and resources. Much of it deliberate and overt through things like redlining, freeway expansions through poor neighborhoods, and both public and private disinvestment in cities. Baltimore is the end-result of that many decades-long process. All of it deliberate and predictable.Josh wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 10:01 pmAs I documented earlier, education is far higher (over twice as high) in Baltimore as opposed to the school district I live in.
So how is this “deliberately disinvesting”? My school district doesn’t have a long roster of 6 figure jobs. Baltimore’s does.
How is any of this an excuse to allow violent criminals to rob, steal, kill, rape, and deal addictive drugs?And turned them into dumping grounds. Really since the end of WW2 which was nearly 80 years ago. It is not a surprise that many urban areas (and rural ones too) look the way that they do today. We did that on purpose through a complex web of public policy and subsidized private investment.
A good place to start would be to simply stop doing the things that make things worse. But complicated problems have complicated solutions.
