Canam Steel might do tours Kids can watch welding and steel forging. and the C&O is right there for lunch
Similarly the consol marine terminal might have a kids program where you can go look at the giant rail based coal shovel. Port of Baltimore is right there with big cranes and the giant salt piles from Mortons and all the trains.
Bethlehem was always a cool visit. Hopefully once steel is back up and running in tradepoint they will let the kids visit. Watching poured metal is special.

Yes, on the individual level people will make that choice.. When you look at the market at large, which is either growing or shrinking, there is no pause.
The entire market doesn't go on hold because the people you know are on pause. The larger market influences people at decision points of where to deploy capital.
Your friends have deployed capital and are willing to take a short term loss for a long term gain. (Likely forgoing gains already incurred). Some individuals are choosing different areas of the market to invest in. Some individuals are getting out of the market entirely.
Again you are having trouble separating personal experience from market forces.

It’s close but no cigar. Would have to view the relative lack of success of an individual’s stock choice relative to overall market success as a loss for stock to work
Maybe a leveraged position that actively costs money is closer

"I know people"- the mantra of the anecdotal evidence.
I am describing a natural economic process and didn't say you don't know people. I am saying there are larger market forces beyond an individual decision and that your original comment didn't speak to that.
If you multiply your known landlords by a million do you think there hasn't been a decrease in willingness to expand rental operations.
It is hard to think conceptually so take your time if you need to.
Edit: Hell even in your response you almost get it. "They don't sell ALL their stocks". Exactly. All landlords aren't gonna sell all houses

Respectfully, I think you're missing a step here. Landlords likely won't "pause" renting if it is too risky.
They will either divest themselves of an asset that is not returning, increase rental requirements narrowing their pool of renters(because no renters), or not invest in a rental property in the first place.
Rather placing their capital into markets with more favorable returns. People aren't taking on second mortgages to hold empty property. Like this person said they are losing money because they do not have a renter.
This decrease in demand from capital holding people will have an equivalent effect on housing prices.
This is not to say the land lording class does not provide an essential service to the economy.
Just what we are seeing here is a natural process in economics. This person is experiencing risk they opened themselves up to when engaging with this asset. Same way someone in the stock market may see decreases and downturns.

I mean specifically the central area. Gets pretty punchy away from the harbor.

this is a dreamscape. Biking around the city in the time between the bike race and reopening to traffic was amazing. We have such a flat and well populated city.
Glad the contractors got it done. Apparently it was a spaghetti of pipes underneath the asphalt. Pipes dating back hundreds of years.

Krispy Krunchy Chicken - Avoid immediately after school gets out and late in the evening if you are a standard reddit yuppie like myself.
Specifically the fells pt location. If you look regionally it has a 4.5 (175 review) on google which is a hard to achieve rating for a convenience store. Regional comparables don't exceed 100 reviews and don't achieve the same rating.

Currently Frederick to Morrel Park. I get to work early and leave early. I have a 40 minute commute to work and a 50 minute commute home.
My wife was doing to and from Hagerstown from canton for the past few months.
Traffic flows fast until 6:30am . The westside outerloop in the morning and the innerloop in the afternoon will kill you. It is called the wicked westside for a reason.
Used to commute from MT washington to arbutus and monroe isnt bad. just never be the first one in an intersection.
Harbor tunnel isnt the worst until it is. The tolls are expensive over time.
Biggest tip is avoid rush hour. If you can shift early. Later doesnt have the consistency.

BBC has a thursday and wednesday ride and also runs a time trial out in the county.
Union brewing has a thursday ride if i remember correctly run by the wagner roofing guys.

Actual TLDR; presence of tree cover is another corollary to redlining.
Tree cover reduces extreme heat impact, improves air quality, and provides aesthetic value.
Measures to undo the historical damage of redlining should be cognizant of this effect.

Well sorta. It’s just induced demand on the other foot. This is literally building more lanes except for bikes.

Getting into the valley is wild.
Park Heights feels the safest but you still have to be confident enough to take a lane
Stevenson is very steep and stays wet. The turn coming off of hillside will kill someone eventually.
Greenspring is steep narrow and aggressive.
Falls road is wild. The turn where the JFT entrance has me shaking my head 8/10 times.
