This is the answer.

On principle, I’d generally agree with parking should not be free. However, convenient and safe alternatives to driving are a requirement if the goal is reducing the number of cars in the city.

Infrequent busses and painted bike lanes aren’t good enough.

I mean we do need to do bike lanes. We also need to improve our bus system. More busses with more frequency, signal priority and separated, protected bus lanes. Cars are the problem. Bikes aren’t making busses late, cars and disinvestment are.

Buses by and large are unreliable because they get stuck in car traffic. So once again, cars are the problem. We should charge market rate for parking cars. Owning a car shouldn’t be subsidized by people who can’t afford to own one which is what currently happens.

Could get lucky in the Mt. Washington area.

And yet there's a thing on here about "oh, charge residents to park their cars in their neighborhoods, theyll give them up and take buses!! Teehee!!"

I've been laughing at them for three days. Utterly delusional.

Rodgers Forge area could be worth checking out.

I took a sewing class a few years back. They offer so much! I’d say it’s affordable too.

This is a good reminder! I took a continuing Ed class there for Spanish years ago. I should see what else they have.

It’s not a bad place if you are in that area but the quality has gone down a lot over the years.

Villagio is one of my favorite places to eat in the county. Make sure you get the appetizer platter it’s pricey $18 but totally worth it.

Ok, this sounds crazy, but could it be in the old section of the Zoo? I think some of the old walls have stone like that, and it would be the sort of place a whole bunch of people could go easily. Not sure if they would wear suits to the zoo, but it was a different time.

Yeah the phrase “up to” gets them every time lol. Chances are, you’re gonna be chewed up and spit out long before you touch 6 figs.

Check out The Craft Castle in Hampden on the Ave!

Civil engineer here. Bachelors plus 5 years experience. Your pay is lower than standard for this area. I got my degree in TX. First job in a state with a lower cost of living. The pay was higher. Higher = higher quality workers/higher quality work AND less corruption.

My company works on some city subcontracts. BUT I push for private work and work outside the city because most your workers and vendors are shady. Costs come in too high. Materials substandard. Timeliness padded.

You need to review financial priorities. This is crazy. No decent engineer is going to take 80-90k starting for supervising work. You'll wind up with somebody's nephew/cousin/boyfriend who doesn't know the work.

Good spot and it’s BYOB

Original Northwood

Hamilton-Lauraville would check all these boxes but is very “suburban” city. If you want to be somewhere more walkable, you can find townhouses or row homes with small yards (and maybe even parking) in Canton, Patterson Park, Riverside, and Locust Point - all which are close to large parks that host many events, public pools, tot lots, and a large population of families with children.

I went to the annual meeting about this. DPW is behind on fixing the sewer system. PLEASE send comments. ESPECIALLY if you or your neighbors had flooding in your basement or sewage backup into your basement. ESPECIALLY if you're in the south/southwest part of Baltimore. I met a ton of peeps going through the same thing from Morrell Park and West Port.

Here is the report. Read it first. Consent Decree Report

Here is the email address to send comments: DPW will accept public comments pertaining to this document for 30 days, through February 17, 2023. Comments may be submitted directly to Michael.Shipman@baltimorecity.gov.

Good to know, I’ll give it a shot. Thank you!

Rent, we will likely only be there 2 - 3 years

Are you looking to buy or rent?

Completely agree

Edit: the owners are Lebanese and the dishes is authentic. I would (and do) recommend to anyone looking for traditional Lebanese food.
