And longtime columnist Dan Rodricks weighs in on the history of two Baltimores:
Though Schaefer said little about it at the time — he certainly wasn't going to agree that Baltimore was two extravagantly different cities in one — Schaefer came around to acknowledging that "other Baltimore." And others understood it, too, people like the developer James Rouse and Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke. Even Martin O'Malley, when he ran for mayor, spoke about the two Baltimores in terms of crime, pledging to make Clifton Park as safe as Roland Park.
But, in the O'Malley years, we got zero-tolerance policing and a continuation of the war on drugs that, while reducing violent crime, also harmed the relationship between police and the people who live and die in that "other Baltimore" you can't see from Harborplace.
Hurt? There are plenty of people who are hurt today — those who have built businesses, who tried to make the city a better place, who have worked in some of the poorest neighborhoods of the city to improve life there, especially for children and the elderly. But it hasn't been enough. There's a critical mass of social problems that have built up across too many years and that were never sufficiently addressed in the aftermath of the last riots.
