[Tex/LaTex] Remove bullet and leading space before list item

enumitemitemizelistsspacing

I have some nested lists that I'm trying to format. I would like to remove the bullet and the leading space from the outer list while leaving the inner list unmodified.

Here is some sample code:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}

\section{Section Title}
\subsection{Subsection Titlte}

\begin{itemize}[label={$\bullet$}, topsep=0pt, itemsep=0pt]
    %
    \item List item with bullet that I want gone
        \begin{itemize}[label={$\bullet$}, topsep=0pt, itemsep=0pt]
            \item Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets)
            \item Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets)
        \end{itemize}
    %
    \item List item with bullet that I want gone
        \begin{itemize}[label={$\bullet$}, topsep=0pt, itemsep=0pt]
            \item Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets)
            \item Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets)
        \end{itemize}
    %
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

Below is an image that shows the output of the above code in the top half. The bottom half of the image shows what I would like my output to look like. I've added the red and blue vertical lines to help illustrate the desired spacing. Note that the desired output removes both the bullet point and the leading space from the outer list. It aligns the text of the outer list with the left side of the deleted bullet point. The inner list remains completely unchanged.

I have attempted to use enumitem to set values for leftmargin, labelindent, and labelsep. However, I can't figure out how to achieve the desired output. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Top is what I have, bottom is what I want

Here is a solution:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\newlist{balditemize}{itemize}{1}
\setlist[balditemize]{label=, wide=\parindent, labelsep*=0pt, leftmargin=*, topsep=0pt, itemsep=0pt}
\usepackage[showframe]{geometry}

\begin{document}

\section{Section Title}
\subsection{Subsection Title}

\begin{itemize}[label={$\bullet$}, topsep=0pt, itemsep=0pt]
    %
    \item List item with bullet that I want gone
        \begin{itemize}[label={$\bullet$}, topsep=0pt, itemsep=0pt]
            \item Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets)
            \item Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets)
        \end{itemize}
    %
    \item List item with bullet that I want gone
        \begin{itemize}[label={$\bullet$}, topsep=0pt, itemsep=0pt]
            \item Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets)
            \item Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets)
        \end{itemize}
    %
\end{itemize}

\section{Section Title}
\subsection{Subsection Title}

\begin{balditemize}
   \setlist[itemize, 1]{wide=\dimexpr\leftmargini-\fontdimen2\font, leftmargin=*, labelsep =5pt, topsep=0pt, itemsep=0pt}%
    \item List item with bullet that I want gone List item with bullet that I want gone List item with bullet that I want gone List item with bullet that I want gone
        \begin{itemize}
            \item Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets) Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets) Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets) Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets)
            \item Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets)
        \end{itemize}

    \item List item with bullet that I want gone
        \begin{itemize}
            \item Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets)
            \item Inner list item (I want to keep these bullets)
        \end{itemize}
    %
\end{balditemize}

\end{document}
