Reply to comment by Anarcho-Crab in City reaches 300th homicide for 8th year in a row by Maxcactus

Given the massive food deserts in the poorest parts of our city, the argument can be made that residents would be better off leaving. And I say that as Price Rite just announced they're closing the SoWebo location in a few weeks, leaving thousands of people without access to decent food.

I'd really rather spend the rest of my days fighting to get affordable grocery stores and community gardens in our communities as well as jobs then leave. My moms family have been Baltimoreans since the start of the 1800s, we arent leaving no matter how hard this shit gets.

Yes, of course. You're exactly right. I guess from my perspective I just want to see people be able to live comfortably with affordable access to quality food. In some cases, that isn't possible without leaving though. I don't want to see your mother's family leave either but I also don't want to see them struggle just for the sake of staying, if there are better alternatives out there.
