“Turn into the incoming traffic on this one way street”

But surely by sheer virtue of population density the statistical likelihood of being the victim of a crime is higher in the city no matter the eerie feelings one gets in rural areas. As for no one hearing you, there are plenty of city neighborhoods in the US that cries for help will not get a response - deaf ears are functionally the same as no ears, right?

So, I just moved to South Baltimore and accordingly jointed the subreddit. I keep seeing posts about council members and I’m curious - is this truly a city where these folk actually affect change? I’ve lived in a few cities in the past where they were largely interchangeable year to year and no tangible changes were ever seen. I’m all for paying attention to local politics, though! Is there anyone in particular I should be keeping an eye on?
