Unfortunately I don't think we have it in 21224. Xfinity or nothing.

People come and pick up my trash and recycling every week.

My poop disappears when I flush it.

I am able to park my car on a public street 365 days a year.

I get drinkable water when I turn on the tap.

I take frequent walks through Druid Hill park, Jones Falls Trail, Stony Run.

I have trees planted on my street.

I ASSUME I'd experience more crime if there was no police force.

I get all that for about $4000 a year.

I don't wonder where my tax dollars are going. Sometimes I wonder just how much they could charge me before I'd leave.

Only if you're fortunate enough to live where FiOS exists. Satellite is terrible.

Doesn't make sense. There is no way the average per capita income of a Marylander increased $20k in one year.

Per this data, Baltimore per capita income is higher than the US in 2022:

It's going to the ghost kids in schools and to the boxing rings for people to settle their beef.

Silver lining is that other American cities have taken a greater downward turn since 2020. Baltimore, by comparison, isn't as much of an outlier as we once were.

Indeed

Footing what bill exactly? Are you talking about TIFs? Those cost the city nothing. The taxes collected are used to pay back bonds, but 9 times out of 10, a TIF site wouldn't have been producing any tax revenue anyway.

But is there another option? Hardwire only

4 way stop?

That mean I go first, amirite?

Oh buddy. This is quite an assumption.

Great example of why more gentrification is needed. We need more high income individuals so there are more resources to provide state benefits.

We don't have tax dollar street cleaning in Fells. The businesses pay the Waterfront Partnership to get the main streets, which they do in these smaller golf cart sized vacuum equipped vehicles. However, I've seen neighbors ask for and receive assistance from those guys for residential spaces. They are pretty great. Personally, I clean my own street gutters a few times a year.

Yep.

Don't forget about the 3.2% income tax as well!

Oddly enough, Diamondback Brewery

Hopkins is a massive provider of above-median-income paying jobs in the city. Baltimore would be more like Detroit without it

"extra dollars"?

Maybe when you grow up and have a family or own anything you will understand where we're coming from.

My block has a sign that says street sweeping is on...Tuesdays, I think?

In nine years I've never seen a street sweeper truck.

Yes

The dude who owns Royal Taj is one the coolest, nicest guys in the area.

As a Comcast customer, I agree
