Yes, and I'm speaking about conditions in red states under Republican leadership - all at the bottom of the barrel from a poverty and education standpoint.

I cant speak for Baltimore but Chicago is a world class city with great food, bars, art, and entertainment. They actually broke a record last year with 57.6 M visitors, that broke the record they set the previous year. You have no clue what you're talking about although it seems like your looking for a handout.

They, like Baltimore, break records every weekend.

I would say that the non shithole parts are an example of prosperous people overcoming the chains of the democrats ideology. How much better could those communities be without help from the Dems? Meanwhile the Democratic leaders in that city and many other large cities continue to prosper while their minority subjects continue to live in squalor but keep voting for democrats that promise them only lies.

You know nothing. Baltimore has always had wealthy people - going back to colonial days.

Kind of a dumb question... it is his property.

There are several reasons multi-family property owners do not invest in their properties.

A) they want the residents out so they can refurbish the property to attract higher income residents and raise rents
B) they want the residents out so they can redevelop the property into something else
C) in some jurisdictions the eviction laws are so heavily weighted towards the resident it’s a long and expensive process to get them out even after a lease has expired so you encourage them to leave.
D) property taxes and fees are so high that with the quality of tennant that the property can attract cannot support the maintenance

A landlord should never allow the state of a property to reach the point where they are no longer in compliance with the law. Your argument is really weak on that end. That is not good business. Here is a direct quote from then-Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz from 2017:

"Contrary to the assertions of the Kushner Cos. that they are in compliance with local laws, our inspectors identified and cited more than 200 code violations in properties owned by Jared Kushner." - Kevin Kamenetz, Baltimore County Executive in 2017.

LOL

Want to know how easy it is to be in violation of a code? We had our annual compliance Evaluation Inspection and received an NOV because we didn't have an annual compliance site evaluation. We do quarterly site evaluations (same form) which we are not required to do but since we didn't mark one as an annual evaluation we received a notice of violation. I could give you hundreds of other nitpicky examples from my wife's multi-family properties so code violations mean absolutely nothing.

What I've failed to see mentioned is that codes do get changed and updated.

How many of the violations are from new codes that at one time would not have been a violation? Context appears to missing.

I live in an older house and my breaker box is in a kitchen pantry that must be cleared out each and every time to access that panel. By today's codes that would be a violation although it passed inspection when the house was built.

A family member lives in a much older house with a breaker box that looks to have been wired by a 3 year old. It's on an interior wall in a bedroom and the back wall of the breaker box is next to the front door. Pretty sure today's codes would consider that a safety hazard and more than likely a code violation. It also passed inspection when that house was built.
