I agree and by "come here" I meant open businesses in the city, not literally move here.

Yeah but we also need tourists to come here and spend money, we need taxpayers to move here, entrepreneurs to come here and open up new businesses, etc etc.

Baltimore definitely has a PR problem to your point. We don't do a great job marketing ourselves and the great things to do here. Yes, Baltimore has its issues. But, there are also so many good things about this city.

I honestly think your best bet might be shorter form vertical videos (IG reels, Youtube shorts, Tiktok) in hopes of getting younger people to consider coming to visit (or live in) Baltimore. These could be quick snap shots of things to do/places to visit/things to eat around the city.

I am by no means a social media expert, but I think this is the way to go. We aren't going to get older people to change their perceptions (IMO) but could start to change the mindset of younger people.
