I think Baltimore City spends much too much time considering the needs (usually tax breaks) of large businesses and large developers, but very little time worrying about neighborhood level economies. There are very few large companies left in the city. But large business HQs in cities are also starting to become a thing of the past post-COVID. People don’t want to commute into downtown Baltimore and work in an office. But they also don’t want to trek into downtown Seattle or San Francisco (or even New York!) and work there either. These cities are hardly pictures of realty health right now, San Francisco office occupancy is something like 40%. The question is how to make Baltimore a more desirable place to live and a more economically productive place, and that starts by looking at economies at a neighborhood or even street by street level. Which start with residents and the businesses that serve and employ them.
