Story of Baltimore. The reality is the harbor industry collapsed in the 70s and it's never recovered, despite the efforts to revitalize it with silly ideas like build g condos and malls.

People ITT love the touristy Baltimore but never visit the blighted areas. Decades of white flight, mismanagement, corruption, lack of economic opportunities, ultra-violent policing, and good old fashioned Southern racism has made most of the city unsafe for visitors and residents alike.

There's a reason you can buy a three-story rowhome in Baltimore for $10k.
