No, that’s not AT ALL in the frum area, the northwest corner of the city, where the crime rate is still low. (And you can confirm that thru the Northwest Citizens Patrol, 410-664-NWCP.
Why are we protected from the malaise afflicting the rest of the city? Perhaps it is our achdus and the shalom between various groups in the city. You will find all areas of the frum spectrum – Chasidish, Yeshivishe, Torahdig, and Modern, FFB and BT, Ashkenazi and Sepharadi – and the mutual respect is amazing. So if you can have and befriend a neighbor who has different (yet still kosher) hanhagos than you, Baltimore is a real choice.
