Is that the politically correct term for homelessness?

I hadn't seen this news, but it's not surprising. Baltimore has a lot of vacant housing stock, so rehoming the homeless with federal support isn't super difficult if there's just a little will to do so (and the will to do so is usually what's lacking).

Where is the 4th intersection? I can only think of 3 (two by the beltway and the one by the Scool Sisters of Notre Dame).

> I'm quite sure this isn't Bellona.
I used to live on Bellona - this aint it. Bellona has a double yellow line the from beginning to end, and this looks like a one way street somewhere in Waverly.
This pic looks like it was taken in the summer also, so probably just some random stock photo from DOT's archives.

if my memory is correct, 'tis the season for the line cleaning (increased chlorine/chloramine) to start. i've seen a few hydrants open for flushing so i'd assume that's what's going on.

You know when you see people standing on the curb with their arm out, waving their hand up and down like they're hailing a cab? They're calling a hack.
Meaning they want a ride somewhere without paying the rates required by Uber/Lyft and taxis.

I drive on Bellona Ave from the county all the way to where it ends on York road. I drove this route four times last week on my way to work. Not once did the speed bumps change.
This is so bizzarre. Unless this is an auto post why are you saying this took place last week? This has to have taken place MONTHS ago based on 1. The fact the driver is in a tank. 2. The trees and grass looking like it’s summer 3. You’re the city so you weren’t putting speed bumps in where the county is —- meaning there’s a specific corridor on Bellona where these can be.
It would be nice if DOT would focus on/try to fix the issues caused by the bus lane on York road and how it is increasing commute times and dangerous driving by people who are speeding to “skip the line” and then aggressively cut in later.

Are your taxes complicated or just standard job W2s? Asking because a lot of people pay for tax services they don’t actually need.
