I've used that little park and (at the time) there was no sign saying it was only for residents. Unless there is signage telling me otherwise, Im using it.

This is exactly why our park walks have become quite limited. Our boys are very social and we've never had a problem, however they are quite big and dont like surprises. We have had a couple of close encounters with (illegally) off leash dogs and it's just not worth the risk. Latrobe, Riverside, Patterson....they are all full of people who's dogs have "excellent recall"

Inner harbor is easily walkable and we walk to baseball games from the neighborhood all the time! Definitely a good spot for what you’re looking to do

I walk everywhere from mt Vernon, depending on what you want to do it’s very walkable and it’s also easy to hop on the light rail or the circulator/bus if the place you want to go is further away

And now the owner is trying to figure out what to do with the building by sending around a survey. Lol I'm going to suggest a park or something.

Nah. I went to Dubrovnik and there are no cars in the entire city center. Not much better transit than Baltimore.
Transit should be worked on but people will come MORE if you ban cars not less. People with cars want to come and park and be in amazing spaces the same as the rest of us.

I don't agree we should have zoned parking passes that restrict parking to residents at certain hours. There are plenty of neighborhoods in the city that have it. Our Merchants Association actively blocks any efforts to get zoned parking and we have to absorb all the parking for the businesses which is not right. The businesses should provide parking for their patrons. The Wine Source is building a parking lot right now because it's the right thing to do and the #1 complaint from customers.
And until we have a better public transit system people aren't going to stop driving. I do support better public transit in Baltimore it would greatly improve things.

Yes, there was definitely a very loud test on homewood around then.

Incredibly walkable. My walks are usually from the Inner Harbor (near the Maryland Science Center) all the way to the University of Baltimore.
Takes around 1-2 hours to explore (if walking the straight shot) and there’s little side streets all along the way that’ll get you to restaurants and cafes.
It might get a little hectic (eg. wider roads, more traffic) once you’re near Penn Station, but still doable.

Huh? I havent heard anyone propose that the building be replaced with a parking lot.
And when you mention those in favor of high capacity living spaces you might be thinking of YIMBY because NIMBY tends to oppose any new development.

Congratulations on the admission to Hopkins!
If it's for undergraduate, there's plenty of on campus housing and the neighborhood there is very walkable as well.
If your kid is at Peabody, they'll be living in Mount Vernon.
Mount Vernon is central for walking, public transportation, and biking. The Inner Harbor isn't what it used to be, but it's a nice walk from Rash Field to Fells Point. You can also take the commuter boats across the harbor. Check out the American Visionary Arts Museum. Have a wonderful visit!

I agree that the project was too big. But I do think the approached used to block it, historical preservation and wildlife protection, are very typical NIMBY tactics.

This is our first visit to Baltimore so we're totally unfamiliar with the area. Only concern was that is wasn't pedestrian friendly. Our kid just got into Hopkins so we'll be looking at housing but we'd also like to see Inner Harbor and the surrounding museums and catch a baseball game. Thanks for your input!

The fuck are you talking about? Lots of city residents need to drive to get anywhere in the city at a reasonable speed.

I’m in Catonsville and heard it three times today, but am too far from JHU for that to be the source. I wonder if UMBC or CCBC is the Catonsville source

One of the most walkable neighborhoods in Baltimore. People are friendly, just make eye contact and say Hi.
What are your concerns?
What are your destinations?

No as long as there's something to lock my bike up to!
