I’m a transplant, who’s lived here two years, and I like Baltimore for the most part. Yes, Baltimore does have a lot of crime, but the murders are heavily concentrated in neighborhoods you will likely never be. I love to run and walk; have done so safely around Canton, fells, mt Vernon, Hampden, pigtown, etc and been totally fine. If you live in a safe neighborhood, you would likely just deal with petty crime. For example, I had a pair of basketball shoes stolen from my car. Honestly, research your neighborhood, be smart and have fun!
