You’d Be Surprised WHO The OUTSIDE AGITATORS In Baltimore REALLY ARE

8. It's not the cost of housing...

It's the cost of housing and public services in "good neighborhoods" (i.e. racially segregated.) The critical aspect is racially segregated. They can't afford the lily white neighborhoods in Baltimore itself but they can if they move further out in the suburbs.

Interesting analysis by Nate Silver--

"This statistic is intimately tied to the diversity of the police force: Black and Hispanic officers are considerably more likely to reside in the cities they police than white ones. In New York, for example, 62 percent of the police force resides within the five boroughs — a comparatively high figure. But there’s a stark racial divide. Seventy-seven percent of black New York police officers live in the city, and 76 percent of Hispanic ones do, but the same is true for only 45 percent of white officers."
