this project, like every other federally funded project, has 10s of thousands of pages of feasibility studies going back nearly a decade. the complainers cannot be placated, they just want to complain.

Beep boop, have a lemon stick.

I can vouch that this is no bot/AI.

Have a Berger cookie.

The patient I visit bought her townhouse for the mid $500,000’s when she moved from the city I don’t k is what the range of prices is, as I wrote the housing choices are very diverse from condos to townhomes to large single family homes.

Should've offered some old bay with that comeback.

That will be determined later, depending on community feedback and what our engineers say.

Make sure the bill doesn't say estimated bill. When they replaced my meter we got a couple super high bills. Still not sure if I was overcharged.

Sure! Send us a 311 request using the Traffic Calming request, and enter in as much detail as you can. Width of the alley is useful.

Hey, you knuckleheads.

Thank you!

The implementation is not a week, the time for how long residents have to respond is a week.

There is! Fill out a 311 request on the app, using the Traffic Calming section. Enter in as much detail as you can.

NIMBYs usually don't want additional housing near them and it looks like housing is pretty similar in both. I don't see how this is a dream scenario or how it makes traveling more difficult but i might be missing something

False. We are an amorphous sentient government organization that is a figment of your imagination. 😂

Thank you, that’s very kind!

I would like to see then list specific numbers but they probably couldn't do that without publicly disclosing the address of the subject property. From the article:

"In their initial complaint, Connolly and Mott lambasted Lanham for his “unjustifiably large negative adjustments” to the comparables he selected and, while acknowledging that some adjustment may have been necessary for the subject property’s proximity to Northern Parkway, write that “a negative adjustment of ten percent is excessive and is inconsistent with proper appraisal practices.”

Additionally, Connolly and Mott praise the second appraiser for not choosing any comps located on Northern Parkway, writing that it demonstrates the “illegitimacy of using Northern Parkway as a boundary” and note that the second appraiser only adjusted a negative two percent for being on a busy street—which they argue is “consistent with industry standards.”

2. Sale of House Next Door: On the date Lanham completed his appraisal in June 2021, the house directly next door to the Subject Property was listed for sale for $500,000. It had been on the market for over 30 days at the time and only 10 days after Lanham completed his appraisal, the list price was lowered to $475,000. Another month passed before this property was under contract and finally closed at $465,000 in August 2021.

Lanham’s suit points out that the house’s sale price directly next to the Subject Property was $7,000 below his appraised value. While the Subject Property “had more above grade living area square footage,” Lanham argues that the kitchen of the house directly next door had (A) a kitchen with improvements that made it more desirable than the kitchen of the Subject Property, and (B) an improved sunroom that was not present at the Subject Property.

“Some value adjustments to [the house next door] would be necessary to compare it to [the Subject Property], but the location of [the house next door], on the same busy road as [the Subject Property], makes [the house next door] a good comparable property and the fact that [it] sold for $465,000 shortly after the effective date of Mr. Lanham’s appraisal supports and validates the amount of Mr. Lanham’s appraisal,” reads Lanham’s counterclaim."

Ultimately an actual comp trumps "industry practicies". Ie I could say that typically houses on a busy street sell for 3% less, but if there is a comp at a lower valuation that trumps what happens typically. Northern Parkway is a very busy road so people might discount houses directly on it much more than a typical busy street.

Maybe 10-20% is not that crazy:

https://homeguides.sfgate.com/much-busy-road-lower-real-estate-value-84306.html

In 2009, "The Washington Post" quoted real estate appraiser Wayne Wallace on the matter of property value loss for locations on a busy road. On average, Wallace said he "deducts 10 to 20 percent for a property on a main thoroughfare." The exceptions to his general rule include condo properties -- whose value actually increases when located next to a main road -- and "bull market" conditions, which are much more applicable in 2013 than at the time of the article.

Do you have legal training? Have you read the court documents? If not, how are you so sure of your opinion?

What evidence did you use to come to that conclusion? The world is a complicated place which is why we have a structured legal process in order to determine whose side of the story is accurate.

Yeah, would be a bad way to go out, getting stuck in a pipe under Baltimore.

Waving and smiling at us makes our day, honestly 😊

No, this doesn't appear to be a legitimate countersuit. Statements made in pleadings or court are usually exempt from defamation claims because then literally everyone sued or charged with a crime would sue for defamation. It's not even a useful tactic for mediation because the counterclaim will immediately get thrown out.

Counterclaims make sense sometimes but this isn't it.
