The nicest single family neighborhoods may pay "more" per house, but they certainly don't pay their fair share and are less tax productive than any given rowhouse in Hoes Heights, for example.

Uber is really not that cheap anymore. I paid like $50 for an early morning ride to BWI a while back

Was homeless a term developed after polling the impacted community?

Maybe, but there are no protections for either party. Getting into or letting a stranger into your car is something they told me not to do when growing up but, some folks just don’t have access to the apps or credits cards so they do what they gotta do I suppose.

Saying "wokeness" and pc culture are annoying undercuts your whole (correct) argument.

Is this a term that was coined by polling the impacted community or is it a term created by white women to feel better about themselves for doing nothing? Similar to the word Latinx which a majority of people from South American descent hate.

Wow, how convenient this is. I didn't even think about the metro. If I am interpreting this correctly, to get from the state center to johns hopkins hospital, I could catch a train at the state center at 6:13 AM and arrive at Hopkins by 6:21 AM? That is perfect. Now I just need to see if my employer would cover the cost of my fare.

LMFAO 🤣

I’m sorry the I work in IT so yeah I do hack would have been a funny line to tell them.

Well, not really. I think it’s important to remember that a house is a specific type of building, where as a home can be defined in many ways. Even if you are sleeping in a tent under a bridge, while it’s not a house you could still consider it your home. So, unhoused is a more accurate term.

This difference in verbiage can also affect how we view actions taken against the unhoused. I think some people see a tent city get busted up and what they see are a bunch of squatters being removed from an area they are “trespassing” on. But, if you consider that encampment their home, which it 100% is, then it can be easier to empathize with those unhoused people.

I know “wokeness” and PC culture are annoying, but words can shape how we view the world, so sometimes it’s important to utilize terms like this to better describe the thing.

I drove around and throughout the city for work and get flagged down constantly by people and they look so offput when I drive right past them.

Like, an empty car is not an invite.

Hack the planet!

I use Sheldon Brothers Tax Preparation, and if you have questions off season he’s more than happy to answer them. He spent a few hours going down an electric car rabbit hole for me when I was looking to buy one after the IRA passed. They are in Perry Hall, so not technically in the city though.

TIL Bellona exists in a biodome.

Lipstick on a pig

I get that, but unless you have a business you’re just flushing money down the drain. Even when I had rentals it would take me all of a couple hours to fill everything out and cost me around $20.

To each their own, but if you use the same software each year most of it is prefilled out and goes even faster. That’s all the accountant is doing and then charging you 20x more.

They also pay the highest taxes, ya know.

Just be careful or you will end up in a whole mess of trouble like master hacker Dade Murphy, aka Zero Cool, aka Crash Override.

Semi-complicated. Multiple sources of income, kids, etc. It's also a time on task issue.
