Can Baltimore Ever Recover from City Mismanagement?

As trump is completely destroying America.

But Minus has said he loves trump's mismanagement and thinks of it as "creative destruction". Could it be that is what is happening in Baltimore? I mean, if these claims of mismanagement by Democrats were accurate (but they aren't).

🤖Copilot on the claims made in the video...

“Democrats destroyed Harborplace”... No evidence. Decline was due to private‑sector bankruptcy, aging infrastructure, and national retail trends.

“Ghost town of empty pavilions”... True that the pavilions are mostly vacant — because they are scheduled for demolition and redevelopment.

“One‑party rule caused decay”... Oversimplification. Harborplace’s decline mirrors national patterns unrelated to party control.

“$900M luxury high‑rises”... There are no luxury high‑rises built at Harborplace, no units sold, and no residents. The $900M figure refers to the entire redevelopment project, not to any existing buildings. The project is still in planning and approval stages, with construction not expected to begin until 2026. The planned rents are market rate, not luxury.

“Taxpayer-funded incentives”... Common in large redevelopment projects; not unique to Baltimore or Democrats.🛑

Give us ALL a break and STOP posting all that LIBERAL BULL SHIT

It has been occurring for some time, however, under trump and the trumpublican party the decline of the American Empire is accelerating at an ever increasing pace. As seen be the greatly increasing wealth gap in America (wealth flowing increasingly towards the billionaires and oligarchs and away from middle and lower economic classes) and the war mongering party' need for war and multiple distractions and diversions from actually facing reality.

Both the City of Baltimore and State of Maryland are in Government Mismanagement Death Spirals. If it weren't for make-work government jobs, they would both be economic wastelands. As it is, most of the City of Baltimore has become a 'food desert'. private enterprise has abandoned it.

Investment in Chinese ghost cities would be a better investment than in Baltimore City redevelopment scams.

As for the Stupidity that Lester and DAVEYBOY Dubya, bring to this board, they both can pack their bags and go live in Afghanistan, if the two thinks Islam is better than living under the Trump administration.

Now, ya have a marvelous evening stevie boy.

The Chinese have infiltrated the United States and Canada with their communist Chinese Police Stations.

Democratic-Progressive-Communist Senator Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal on Sunday said ICE agents “Will Shoot and Kill Families at Airports” Now exactly what kind of Stupid, and Insane thing is that to say? .
The Democrats have repeatedly voted to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
On Friday, Democrats once again blocked funding for the DHS and TSA.
Hundreds of TSA, and DHS agents have quit their jobs after missing another paycheck. How long did these FOOLS think that anyone work for weeks on end, and not receive a paycheck? How long did those Lefty Idiots think that any same person would put up with that? After all they got paod! So why should they give a Damn?
Major airports across the US are experiencing thousands of delays due to TSA staffing issues.
(According to Reuters, ICE agents will be deployed to at least 14 major airports across the country on Monday).
Senator Blumenthal said the ICE agents will shoot and kill families at the airports
Travelers are waiting in security lines for up to five hours + and missing flights because of the lousy ungrateful Democrats.
President Trump this weekend said he will be deploying ICE agents to airports across the country to help travelers swiftly get throught hose insanely long security lines, many of them had lost their connection because of it. .
“The Radical Left Democrats” have hurt so many people with their vicious and uncaring ways. What they have done to the Department of Homeland Security, our fantastic TSA Officers, and, most importantly, the great people of our Country, is an absolute disgrace,” President Trump said.

🤖Copilot fact check...

“Death spirals” ➡ Rhetorical, not factual.

“Economic wastelands without government jobs” ➡ Opinion, contradicted by economic data.

“Most of Baltimore is a food desert” ➡ Incorrect.

“Private enterprise has abandoned it” ➡ False.

“Ghost cities are a better investment” ➡ Hyperbole.🛑

Rattrapper aka Mystere: The Chinese have infiltrated the United States and Canada with their communist Chinese Police Stations.

False.

I’m guessing that the Communist Democrat Les Didn’t like my post , and that his Mommy told him to insult me because of it.

You never wrote a post. You wrote a comment. And no "Communist Democrat Les" replied in any manner. Are you imagining that a "Communist Democrat Les" read your post, didn't reply, but didn't like what they read? It sounds like you are describing delusions.

Dervy doesn't post his comments... he sends them telepathically...

Yes, his Karnakesque mentalism powers really ARE that powerful! Us mere mortals aren't powerful mentalists like himself! We must post our comments electronically. :(

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

That's called research. You don't use google? You don't read articles on rightwing sites? You don't read books? I thought you said you did. I use Copilot as a tool. Why should I google search for answers to all your false assertions? I like making more work for myself and don't want to use a tool that makes getting the answers easier? Get bent. I have not surrendered my brain. And Bill Gates wasn't involved in the development of copilot.

That would be a cool power to have. But I don't have it and so have never done that.
