for the longest time Starleigh had Baltimore on lock. In the last couple of years Getting the gig (normally DC based) and Full Moon have arouse. Tom from Full Moon used to work at Starleigh (used to be my bands agent).

My bills been $400 a month since it got cold. Its a 3 story rowhouse but both neighbors are vacant (but pay taxes... argh). I keep it at 67 which is chilly with drafts but nobody is dying.

If you buy you can qualify for a first time buyer grant which will save you a decent amount of money. However when I used mine a few years ago it did come with a condition that I can't sell it legally rent out the house before 5 years. Not sure if you would consider staying an extra year if the same condition is applied to you

>Are wages typical of the rent?
In another comment you’re an apprentice electrician. I think you’ll have no problem at all affording rent on a pretty nice and spacious townhouse if you’re willing to share it with some roommates.

Good luck getting them to do anything about it. I recently had a burst pipe that sprayed out water into my kitchen for 3 days while I was out of town for Christmas. It happened to be a hot water line, so the water heater ran continuously for three days and my BGE bill is 2x what it normally is. The city will adjust water bills due to a leak, so I figured I would try BGE. To paraphrase, their response was basically, "lol sucks for you."

I live in Canton, have been murdered many times leaving my house, it's no big deal. Stings a bit is all.

You’re correct on that side of Eastern Ave. I’m talking way way down. Rockaway or Holly Neck Rd. Sucks you have to pass through the cesspool of everything between 702 and Back River Neck Rd.

January 2022 mine was $338, in January 2023 mine is $476. The price of the therms looks to have basically doubled. This fucking sucks. Typically keep the house at 65 at night and 66-68 during the day, depending on how much complaining occurs.

Things here are going to be a lot more expensive. Working in the trades, there's always the potential for high earnings if you get the right job, but I highly recommend landing a job before you move. Baltimore is a dangerous city. "Every city is dangerous" is a common refrain on this sub, Baltimore is more dangerous than most cities in the US. That said, there are plenty of safe neighborhoods. Apartment complexes are largely overpriced for the quality of the city, but you can find some awesome places to live via Zillow or FB at good deals.

Didn't realize it was that cut-throat. In DC it was pretty easy enough to just walk into a hole-in-the-wall joint and ask for a Thursday night spot a month ahead
