I used to travel a lot for work and I tended to do most of my travel at night because it was quicker and less stressful. I've had a few bad experiences in D.C. that caused me to adjust the way I travel. I was curious to how D.C. compared to Baltimore, and it is a compared to Baltimore. Four times the murder rate of D.C. is almost unfathomable to me.
DC is 46% black, Baltimore is 62% given the perpetrator/victim dynamic of black crime it isn't unusual for a 35% increase to correlate with a quadrupled crime index.
