Is Baltimore next?!?! Homeowners can't escape 'Charm City' b/c homes don't sell

Middle class residents looking to flee Democrat-run Baltimore cannot escape the city because they are trapped in unsellable homes.
Homeowners in once stable neighborhoods with some of the highest property taxes in Maryland say their communities are now being plagued by open-air drug markets and skyrocketing crime, The Baltimore Sun reports.
Squatters invade vacant properties and criminals are shamelessly doing drugs in the streets and riding dirt bikes around the once family-friendly communities, locals say.
Some homeowners claim they tried to put their homes on the market, but were met with pushback from real estate agents who warn they 'I can't sell this house' because of the high crime.
Real estate agents also warn investors and potential homebuyers are likely to avoid buying in Baltimore because of crippling tax rates, which the city allegedly hiked up to combat revenue lost by businesses and residents fleeing the area.
Locals who have spent their entire lives in the city are now making massive sacrifices as they struggle to pay their mortgages, taxes and household bills.
President Donald Trump on Monday branded crime in Baltimore as 'very bad' and said the city was 'so far gone'.

When there’s no danger of being voted out of office they refuse their responsibilities. Thats what the smooth brains don’t understand.

Sounds like homeowners need extra fire insurance and a faulty hot plate.

Yep, VOR and Decatur say so.

Exactly why property taxes should be illegal. Gov't can't control it spending so they jack up the property taxes and let crime florish People can't sell, so they end up stuck because the govt made it impossible for them to leave and impossible for them to stay.
You better be at the very beginning of your mortgage and just walk away and spend the next couple of decades trying to rebuild your life that the govt ruined.

Sorry Baltimore homeowners… we were told by the usual posters on here that crime is falling steadily and that everyone saying the opposite are liars and fearmongers.
So sack up and enjoy. The programmed drone’s sources say you should be juuuust fine.

No. Baltimore is not the capital of the United States.

I guess the city doesn’t realize that Hamsterdam wasn’t meant to be something they should aspire to.

All of this has been happening in Baltimore since the 1970s.

According to some posters here, the real estate agents just need to stop watching the news.

Sell all you can and convert to cash. Max out credit cards. Make no payments on anything.
Declare bankruptcy and move to a new start somewhere else.
