Vision:
Baltimore City was once “The Greatest City on Earth” with thriving and vibrant blocks and communities. Now, it is hard to picture Baltimore as anything but Great. With vacant properties and blight, it has decimated communities within Baltimore. We must strategically invest in housing and homeownership to reduce property taxes, end homelessness, and create robust economic opportunities.
The police have left residents within Baltimore to dry with little enforcement of open-air drug markets, murder, and auto thefts. Currently, BPD has a 30% murder investigation clearance rate. We must provide BPD with upgraded training and technology use, expansion of mental health services and crisis intervention for residents, holistic community-policing strategies, and holding criminals accountable by keeping them LOCKED UP! No longer will residents have to live in fear, rather, they will be protected by their local government.
