Those questions are far more focused. If they said what's a good neighborhood for a student attending x university. Then we could answer but saying is the entirety of baltimore safe is insane.

Do they assume everyone else studying st the University they are looking at lives in an unsafe fear filled hellscape? Do they assume everyone in the city has to constantly look over their shoulder. The issue isn't trying to figure out where to live the issue is the assumption that an entire city is so dangerous that noone could spend time here without fear of violence.

It blatantly ignores the fact that regular people live here or that tons of people visit or study here every day. It's a shitty question that perpetuates a shotty notion that the entirety of Baltimore is dangerous.

That also ignores the fact that similar questions have been asked ad nauseum on here and they could have easily searched for those.

They don't mention where they are looking to live or where they may be studying or anything about themselves.

It's like me saying I'm spending a day in London is it sade and what should I do. There are literally millions of answers to that.
