Fully support! How do we petition to close ours?

Yeah I agree — we’re built to support a close to necessary density, but we need hundreds of thousands more people to approach what’s likely needed. It unfortunately becomes a chicken/egg problem with density and infrastructure investment. It’s not an easy problem to solve, sadly.

>Also is it fair to expect Nick to contribute to the bill?

YEAH. They are married. That's what that means.

The people of Baltimore should sue this MFs into bankruptcy just for vibes.

I understood the article to say that he's claiming defamation due to statements they made in the press.

They live rent free in your head.

I work at UMD and years ago they were building a new dorm. The contractor had a big meeting with a bunch of different departments that may be impacted by construction. They spent a few minutes talking about the large crane that would be there for a few months mostly to let people know not to worry if it spins around as it was left unlocked inte totally while not in use to allow it to spin with the wind instead of being locked and adding stress on it. They also said that they make a point of not swinging material over existing buildings but would occasionally have to swing the unladen crane over buildings to pickup materials.

The person who ran the daycare which is next to the dorm basically told them that this was unacceptable because they had kids playing outside there and if that crane fell it would kill them.

I just thought, if that crane falls it doesn't matter if the kids are outside or inside it's crushing them all. Also would it be ok if it was just adults outside and the crane fell?

Like she was legitimately concerned about the placement of a crane because it might fall over and crush kids in daycare.

Not really sure what she thought thy would say to that. Like "shit you're right we need to cancel this project" as if cranes just fall over all the time.

The after photo is taken from that bridge (or it’s replacement to maintain the cross street) seen in the middle of the before photo. You can see the same buildings in the background. This makes the rounds on historical building subs making people think that they got rid of the modernist buildings on the left. So it would send the wrong message

the purpose isn't to just kayak. the purpose is to make the city a nicer place to live, work, and visit. this adds generational wealth to homeowners and adds tax revenue that can be used for a variety of purposes.

Legal bills rack up quick. She’s already racked up probably a couple hundred billable hours. Probably a couple hundred more to go.

So it’s relative. If she ends up paying $200k + in legal bills that’s an entire year’s salary.

Also is it fair to expect Nick to contribute to the bill?

As we learned in law school, never ask a question you don't know the answer to. Thanks for this bold reminder.

I ran into these people a few years ago at Druid hill park...they are mostly concerned that trains hauling oil and empty oil tankers under their houses and that the trains will be loud in their homes. I then talked to my brother who is an Engineer....they are already transporting oil and empty tankers everyday and also one would expect a new modern not 150 year tunnel would have better sound insulation than the current ones. These people's concerns are completely unfounded.

Regardless of what is built I think there will be disagreements with the details (what is put where and how often) but I really think transit people will want something built regardless. I'm not picky with public transportation. Tram, trolley, light rail, buses, bikes.. bring it all! The issue I get mad about is that a large majority of car people simply cannot wrap their heads around not driving a car and I get sick of the same excuses "where will I park? It's going to be more congested for cars. It's going to hurt businesses if we can't park right in front". Which is all BS. Hell in my other thread the one guy said I was being "polarizing" because I suggested that cars aren't the only ways to get around. Transit people complain about details while car people try to prevent any of it at all from happening and you're right.. I'm not entirely sure how to get through to many

That would infringe on people’s property. Our city is old, so many alleys were not designed for the size of vehicles we have today.

Just make it wider.

Same deal with the Purple Line connecting Silver Spring and Bethesda: locals were decrying the environmental impact and when that didn't work, the Chevy Chase Country Club clutched their pearls at the impact to their historic neighborhood. Also the recent proposal to run a maglev line from DC to Baltimore. Every town in that corridor protested because they'd get no direct benefit from it, which is part of the issue with these nimbys.

www.cantongames.com is Canton does a weekly MTG night. Great spot in general.

So remove a whole road for wypipo to kayak a river smh

I had lunch at By The Docks as part of Baltimore County Restaurant Week earlier this month. The 3-course crabcake lunch special for $23 was great. I plan to return for some of their weeknight specials.

One of the signs in the photo says this is a freight project explosives, toxic cargo nuclear waste.

1. Do they think those things aren't already on the trains that use this tunnel daily now?

2. Would they rather those things be shipped on trucks?

3. Fuck fear mongering idiots who throw out shit like nuclear and explosive just to scare people.

>The plan brings the tunnel right under our houses. Most of the houses in Reservoir Hill were built in the 1900s, and we're very, very concerned about the impact of the drilling that's going to destroy these 100-some-year-old houses," Wright said.

They are just assuming that the boring machines will destroy their homes. This is based, I assume, on fear and nothing else. Tunnels are dug all around the world, all the time and while accidents do occasionally happen in America we have a pretty damn good track record (pun intended) of digging tunnels.

Look at NYC where they just a few years ago extended a line and added new stations under one of the most densely populated cities in the world. No news of entire houses caving in there.

Also saying this is the presidents plan is a bit disingenuous. This has been a project decades in the making. Biden just happened to be the president when it finally got started and funded. Certainly his infrastructure plan helped but lets not act like this was his plan when hundreds of people have worked on this for years.

There is also The Gane Haven in Pikesville, a few miles outside of Baltimore if you are situated in NW Baltimore. It's a fun location, decent community, and magic events many days. It's also a partner store

For those of you messaging me offering me a place as long as I fuck you, feel ashamed. You are gross.

It was delicious. Blue hill has never disappointed me . They have a two course meal for restaurant week but you can always order from their regular menu as well. The owner Mell catches the fish they serve . The food is always fresh and yummy.

they probably removed the bridge in the process. but you can see from the church and other buildings that it's roughly the same spot.

so simple!
