If you mean bike parking, yes. Not nearly enough places to lock up a bike.

I agree. Call the police on them. The rest of the neighbors will thank you.

The Avenue should have no parking, it’d be one of the marquee streets in the whole country if people could safely walk down the middle of the street every day.

Alcohol absolutely is a drug. And this is absolutely not the same.

Sure let’s keep trying what we’ve been doing for the last 50 years that hasn’t worked

I'm working my way up to a 5k.

Yeah you know what, the oil-filled heater efficiency arguments don’t seem to hold water. I relent ;-)

From the perspective of breakers tripping, I suspect the biggest difference is that many oil-filled heaters have variable wattage, while most coil electric heaters more often than not just run 1500W only.

You can but it may not be worth it. These people will k*ll you.

No! bring back the cable car! build a schwebebahn over jones falls!

Why would you want drug dealers on the streets are you insane? the cops should be the first option, I’m pretty sure any non-LE agency can’t do much about the dope house.

Are these the houses that are behind the bank/wine source/rofo lot that are going to be demolished?

Nothing will happen

Ah ok i remember a house in fed that was like this

Swat em!

I had to go through this a few times before. Just from my experience I’ll tell you. It’s always been them taking over the house when you know they don’t live around there (either using a drug addict house or vacant) so I’m not sure how long they have been there.

Reporting then as selling drugs is probably going to take forever for anyone to do anything at the local police station but that’s the way. As cynical as I can be sometimes about my city, I just know how often this happens. Your report is going to get caught up with all the other reports with the same issues.

If you think you have a councilperson that will follow through on getting agencies to check up on ordinance violations or safety issues then that’s the faster thing to do. The more you can find the better.

Asking for lighting or if signage is down for it to be replaced. Just start getting things moving around them and usually that starts to scare people a bit.

If you have some neighbors that can keep things visible I guess it the right way to say it, when the dealers are making their moves in and out and they keep noticing how visible they are that’ll help.

Ask for police to drive through your street on their routes if possible. Just pass by if they can on their normal ways. This is easier said then done. It frustrates me because you have to do rounds anyway can you just add my block once and awhile!!!

If you’re area has any well known or connected churches/local leaders in your neighborhood talk with them. Hopefully you can find a local community meeting to start getting the word around there.

Without going a more direct confrontational route that’s all I can remember. Hope it helps some. We have way too many here.

I miss living in Hampden

Feel free to drag me for this crazy thought, but there’s a small chance some BPD officers are aware of the operation and they don’t care to shut it down because they’re getting a cut. Wouldn’t be the first time.

Yes, there is an anonymous tip line.

It sounds like you've signed up with a retail supplier. BGE delivers your electricity. Clean Choice Energy is a different company and, based on your comment, it sounds like you signed up with them?

If that's the case, please take a look at your contract and the rate per kilowatt they are charging you. They may have increased your rate, as per the contract you signed. If there's no cancellation fee, cancel that contract immediately.

I was going to come here to say this. I’ve dealt with these situations before and the quickest way for the council person to help you (if you have one that cares) is to have some kind of ordinance violation that can be easily used to go bother them.

CVS

I used almost the same amount of gas I did last January (74 therms) and my bill was about $30 dollars higher. These bill increases are driven by commodity prices, which BGE does not profit from (trust me, I work for a utility regulatory agency). Gas is nearly twice as much per therm as it was last year. So, even if you use exactly the same amount of gas you used last year, your bill will be about 40-50% higher, including changes in the delivery price for gas.

If you want to save money, use less gas. Wear a sweater and get a space heater or electric blanket.

I’d like to see the 21 and 94 running every 15 minutes at least, and get the light rail’s rush hour frequencies back.

I mean that's why I asked what kind of drug house. To point out some are more dangerous than others is valid but if you don't know maybe, you know, don't assume they are a meth lab.

If Hampden wants more parking build a garage. And charge for it.
