I’m from Baltimore, MD and it really is that bad. It used to be worse actually. it was number 2 on that list a few years ago. I moved to Charlotte because I didn’t want to raise my children in that environment.There was an open drug market next to the house I grew up in. I stopped watching the news because it only tells you about who was stabbed, shot, and killed that day…oh and the weather! I still laugh everytime someone down here tells me they leave their door unlocked or car windows down. I’ll get used to it …….eventually.

I live right next to Flint in Saginaw, and it’s definitely worse than this page makes these cities out to be. Flint is the most dangerous city in the States. When you come here and turn on the nightly news, it’s literally story after story of; this person being stabbed, this house set on fire, this rape occurring, two kids were left for dead, oh and they are having a bake sale down at some church. thanks for watching the news!
Be thankful if you think you can leave your doors unlocked.
