4.1 bil? Nice. That would do wonders for me, that's for sure...but what's the mean for a city? I mean, it's more than twice that here in DC and we don't have gold-paved streets.

And assuming that's viable for a city the size of Baltimore, what's that mean in a historical context? Like, if I've been living in poverty for 20 years, and I make a living wage next year, my situation is still going to be fucked on Dec 31 2023.
