Yes. Thousands do it everyday.

>The idea that the city needs to be the center of attention is wrong

spoken like a true boomer. if you look around the world at the locations where the planning is optimal, they focus on the city center first. this is not disputable, but for some reason boomers can't understand that things like density, or location of services, matter when it comes to transit.

>Lastly I think forming new "towns" or settlements, in the surrounding counties, are easier to insert good public transit than trying to re-fit extant urbanized areas

not even remotely true. if you're talking purely about building the transit line, then sure. but if you're talking about the number of people served by the line per dollar, then you're not even close to correct. moreover, your claim would only be true if tax/subsidy structure was such that new development was forced to either be along existing lines or to build new connections and not be spread-out mono-zoning.

you couldn't be further from correct on all measures. your way of thinking is why transit in the US is broken and why cities are not livable and are choked with car traffic.

So then we should ban cars to be able to go in and leave the city since that's the most common transportation method?

How many families with school aged kids do you think are gonna live in these studio and one bedroom apartments? Just curious.

Maybe for you...

Since you said you previously have learned about systemic racism you should also look into how suburbs were created, why people fled the city in the past, and why people go against public transportation. I'll give you a hint: it's also racism. Hope you can also educate yourself with that as well, my dude

It seems like usually when people talk about commuting it's by car, so that's why I said Fed Hill and areas close by. Also, other than Friday/Saturday nights and Ravens games, I actually don't think parking is too bad once you know where to go. Your suggestions are valid too, the Fed Hill area just seemed like a nice middle ground suggestion.

Plus, that's why I made my first point - rent in any part of the city that is reasonable commuting distance, get a feel for the city, and THEN think about buying. I think it'd be crazy to buy in a city you don't know anything about. Even visiting for a weekend (or multiple) seems like it wouldn't be enough to fully understand the traffic, public transportation, etc.

Crazy that the ukrainians are all the ones with Nazi tattoos, fascist slogans, idolizing literal nazi collaborators. but go off king

As stated, 66-68 (or off)

In terms of severity and extreme ethno-centric ideology? No, not as bad. Willing to slaughter millions of innocent people in a genocide? No, not quite there either.

In terms of belligerance against other nations to prop up their own authoritarian regime while committing loads of war crimes? Yeah, kind of on par. And that matters.

Your ideology is stupid and regressive.

what is your heat at? also, bge has this deferred payment program where they'll stack your bill and it wont change until it goes up massively all at once. most likely, you're keeping the house way up there because my bill is never more than 100.

Because you’re really angry for some reason. There are problems in every industry, but very few industries will pay pretty well even just to learn, and then even better after some experience. And within a 10 year streak you can go from minimum wage to six figures. Nobody’s hiring software engineers who can’t engineer, trades are all still a viable path for everyone who didn’t get other options. Learn a trade. Build a business, own a share of a successful business once you want to stop swinging a hammer or whatever. More of the boats in the white Marlin open are owned by successful blue collar business owners than any other market and you want to sit here and cry about all the negatives instead of seeing the positives.

Retail natural gas rate went up by 40% year over year.

As a boomer, I agree , urban planners only looks at the needs in one way. The idea that the city needs to be the center of attention is wrong, was wrong 100 yrs ago. Back then, the car and trolley was making inroads on the city's need for being of central importance. Cities should have expanded their service base and made city offices more even spread through out its boundaries. This would have encouraged compliance with things like zoning and permits, as people would not have to run the evil gauntlet of getting through downtown traffic and competing for parking with the workers.

Additionally, our cities lost their purpose when the fed & state governments usurped city infrastructure and made them available to the suburbs.

Unlike Europe and northern cities, Southern cities never made investments in the suburbs, including rail travel, so bedroom communities like those found on the Philly "Main Line" were not built. In those areas, people 20-30 miles outside of a city have no problem using train travel to get to work.

Lastly I think forming new "towns" or settlements, in the surrounding counties, are easier to insert good public transit than trying to re-fit extant urbanized areas, though it needs to be planned and not left to the developers to ignore, as we have seen in the formation of Crofton, and currently in Middle River & Belcampe.

Hope you guys don't find a skeleton that's chained to cement blocks.

Don't they always meet at the Marriott? Harbor East will be a shit show during the visit.

See you at the Gold club Mr Brandon

Merely pointing out how historical precedent guides current policy

He's from Delaware he doesn't know any better :)

You mean the billions worth of 40-30 year old equipment that your tax dollars were being spent to keep it in storage?

Just speaking as someone who lives in Irvington, but I'm ok with old Cold War and Post Cold War equipment being used to its purpose.

put those rockets to good use, rocket trains
