Reply to Baltimore police investigate 39 rideshare carjacking, robbery cases since November by ThatguyfromBaltimore
WJZ is reporting that a carjacked woman was raped by a juvenile, and that people are being forced into their trunks. Not sure why The Banner left these details out of their reporting.

Reply to Outside investors are buying up homes in Baltimore’s low-income and Black neighborhoods by aresef
The repeated use of the word "outside" is weird, paranoid, and almost xenophobic -- them bad, us good. What does it mean? Who edits these things? But it forms the basis of the article's best moment: "She called this wave of outside investment in Black neighborhoods a final stage of an “ethnic cleansing.”" This is some next level Obama birth certificate / aluminum airplanes can't take down concrete and steel buildings stuff!

Reply to comment by S-Kunst in Baltimore’s first City Administrator is quitting by Karmachanix
Baltimore City is a really challenging management job, and you have to have commitment and persistence. He's bailing out for a cushy job in the DC burbs so that his future job prospects won't be judged by what is happening here. It's a vote of no confidence in the mayor, just as all of the other high level departures have been.

If the city was being run well prior to him taking office, making no changes would probably be a good thing. Unfortunately, we had the riots, the disastrous Healthy Holly/Jack Young era, the ransomware attack, and then COVID (he took office in December 2020). Baltimore needed someone with great management skills, vision, and a sense of urgency. Instead, we got Mayor Lackadaisical, and he created the city administrator position so he didn't have to be bothered with managing anything. We needed something a lot more than just not-being-a-thief.

There are Legal Aid/Public Justice Center attorneys on the third floor of the District Court at 501 E Fayette Street who could probably help you run through your options. This is where Rent Court is, and they are there every day.
