All the crime statistics you are all citing are about Baltimore City. The frum community lives for the most part in Baltimore County right outside the border of the city. Sure there’s crime, mostly break-ins and the occasional car-jacking, but crime in the frum Baltimore County neighborhoods is far less significant than it is in Brooklyn.
This is certifiably false. Again, the FBI crime statistics demonstrate that Baltimore County has far higher and more violent crimes than Kings County (which is synonymous with Brooklyn.) As far as frum neighborhoods specifically, Frum Brooklyn (i.e. Borough Park, Midwood, Williamsburg) have some of the lowest crime rates in the United States, bar none. The local police precincts often have too much time on their hands unless they’re needed outside the precincts.
And secondly you’re downplaying the crime in the frum Baltimore neighborhoods (that some of your fellow former Baltimoreans told us about above) by dismissing them as merely “mostly break-ins and the occasional car-jacking”. Home break ins and carjackings are insignificant?!
