Summary:"Baltimore and Beyond," commissioned by the Abell Foundation, is the product of a two-month study of the future of Baltimore that was directed by Neal Peirce, an author, columnist and urban specialist. While the report recognizes the charm of Baltimore's "exquisitely preserved" neighborhoods and "glittering chain of waterside projects," it says the city is on a free-fall decline because an unfair property tax rate, troubled schools, lethargic leadership by Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke and crime-wracked neighborhoods are forcing a flight of the middle class. The report says that help for what Mr. Peirce characterizes as a failing city should come from Baltimore's neighboring counties, which in turn would reap economic and social benefits from a thriving city.
