Check out this article from the Baltimore Sun about the disease and illegal activities that infest the once legendary Block in Baltimore.
A lot of nonprofit and tax payer money is being spent on fixing the problems associated with the illegal activities that Baltimore allows to take place only a few blocks away from city hall. It is an embarrassment that citizens who visit government buildings on Fayette street have to sometimes exit on to sketchy Baltimore street where they are harassed by people conducting shady and illegal activities.
It says a lot about our government when prostitution and drugs are allowed to run rampant a few blocks away from the center of Baltimore city government. Corruption is the first word that comes to mind. There is no doubt in my mid that some of the establishments on the Block are owned by politically connected individuals. The odd thing is that other politically connected individuals own legitimate businesses around the corner at Power Plant Live and other places nearby. One would think that the legitimate business owners would have bribed their way (pay-to-play) in to convincing our leaders to get rid of the establishments catering to those dealing with illegal activities. The real estate on the Block (if there was little to no adult entertainment) is some of the most valuable in Baltimore. It could be a source of pride and incredible tax revenue for Baltimore instead of the disgrace that it currently is.
