Removed Baltimore & Kansas City

[mheadd]

Took these two cities out of the list, as I don't think either is community-managed. Both - I think - are controlled 100% by their respective city governments.

If I'm wrong about this, please feel free to add back.

@mheadd are we defining "community-managed" as the city gov't has no input on data or management? Please excuse my education deficit on this.

We should probably define this more formally, but I think the model we want to employ here is that the site:

• Not be under the unilateral control of government - government can be a part of the managing body, and provide input, but the site is not under the direct purview of a government body.
• Government may contribute data to the site, but is not the sole contributor.

The Philadelphia open data portal is a good example of this.

FWIW I think that's a pretty strong definition for our purposes here. "Control" might be worth teasing out a bit, but this feels fairly rigorous to me.
