Noted, thanks!

I truly dug my own grave, same guy got whipped by a scrub at that meet.

You responded to the only point I capitulated on. That there's a lot of money in our politics and it obviously influences decision making. But it influences in different ways, and I explicitly said labor is an issue that has less difference, because of that reason, however, voting blocks still create a small one.

Otherwise, feel free to explain this. I work in Montgomery County. Sick leave is mandated and minimum wage is $15.65/hr. State minimum wage will rise to $15.00/hr by 2025 Statewide.

A short drive to PA right over the border where democrats don't have a trifecta of control in Goverment and haven't in quite sometime, the minimum wage is $7.25/hr. I'm soooo sure it's just a coincidence. Drive 30 minutes North of Baltimore and cross state lines and the minimum wage drops in half, for one simple reason. The difference in Party.

You can pretend all you want that there's no difference. But it's pretty obvious, especially when you look at who is obstructing what, when things don't get passed. Because it only takes one chamber or an executive to block progress. But when you actually look at proportions of roll call votes and the stark difference on how different areas that have a trifecta of control by either party and where they focus their priorities and it's pretty damn obvious.

A while back, I was driving up MLK and a younger white guy was on the median strip, presumably to panhandle. When I stopped in traffic and looked at him, I realized he was pointing to his wrist, holding his arms up, then waving a middle finger at all the cars. Did this whole cycle three or four times.

I rolled down my window and asked him what was up. He said "Can you tell me what time it is?"

I told him, and he politely thanked me and told me to have a good one.

I wanna get into this so bad, and live close enough I could come to these. It just seems costly.

Brooklyn is a very small sample of life in the city. I think maybe people try a little harder over in Curtis Bay.

There’s a theory going around that developers/owners are setting the fires so they can buy/sell the land. It’s happened a lot over the last couple years.

Half of the second floor is on the first floor. Labeling a property historically protected means nothing. They’ve done nothing to attempt to preserve that beautiful historic house.

Silks in canton is my top choice

I'm from South Jersey and I share the same opinion as your wife on the quality of most cheesteaks in the entire DC/MD/VA area. So far, the best Philly Cheesesteak I've found in Baltimore is Sunshine Carryout in Park Heights, but if she finds a better one please let me know!

Both are near my house, thanks for the recommendations! I love hip hop I think that’s what I’m gonna do for lunch now lol

Good to know! I qualify for more than what I wrote here, I just don’t want to be house-poor AF! Thanks for the advicen

Thanks for the advice and recommendations!

Thanks, good to know! This is exactly my thought process! I’d rather pay a mortgage than continue to be rent poor and have nothing to show for it!

Thanks for the advice! I’ll keep that in mind.

Thanks for all your advice! I have taught before though in order to get licensed! Not a full year but several months! I like it but it paid less than nannying in my area lol! A little work to live in a house is normal, but I am not interest in major renovations! I’ll take what you said into consideration!

Oh that's awesome, thank you so much. Really excited to visit Baltimore, it's my first time.

Not just north, but away from water and on a plateau. Basically a “hey snowstorm, dump right here” sign

For me it was the kids in like Wicomico or Talbot who got random ass 3 hour delays for some fog, and this was all year long!

Magerks in fed hill has a great Philly cheesesteak. They are a philly bar.

Thanks! I get that I am young but I believe I can do it! I’ll wait until I’m sure where my school is located to ask again!

300k is definitely the norm. But there’s a reasonable looking 2bd 900sqft for 180k listed up above Wine Source and Hampden, and similar sized houses in Remington have gone for $175-$200k in the last couple months.

Doable but would make me housepoor! I need to think more about it! Thanks for the advice!

The power of Christ compels.... the church to commit arson? Sad if true

Got it!
