I think we are on the same page about this and making the same point in different language. I do think that because they are making profits, they should have to pay a fee, but the significance of that fee at this price point is attainable enough that it can be justified due to the generally tax liability of the public.
Sorry for the confusion. We are saying the same thing! 👍

IMO, given that you already pay taxes to support the infrastructure that makes up the right-of-way (i.e., the roadway, sidewalks, curbs) why should you have to pay that much more to "reserve" some of that PUBLIC area for your private use? I think of it just like reserving a pavilion at a park.

> mass improvement in certain small areas has a negative impact
This phrase doesn't make any sense. How can there be mass improvement in small areas? Also, how is this negative? Are you insinuating that improvement to these small areas is negatively affecting other areas? But how so?

Good points. Maybe.
Not a good look for rideshare companies who pride themselves on saying their system is full proof and safe. Beyond an app on someone's phone, getting into a stranger's car requires A LOT of trust on a societal scale that isn't set up for such. Kinda crazy we've talked ourselves into thinking this is okay instead of just investing public transportation like we've been doing for almost 100 years prior.

How is this legal, honestly?? Aren't there any federal regulators to prevent literal charlatans from pulling a fast one on cities across the country!?

>That fall, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan was standing at a fenced-off site affixed with Boring signs near Fort Meade and telling a videographer to “get ready” for a high-speed train from Baltimore to Washington. Mr. Hogan declined to comment.

Boring named it Godot, the title character in Samuel Beckett’s play about a man who never shows up.

>Boring deleted the Maryland project from its website last year.
🤦🤦🤦 Larry and friends getting duped when it was staring them right in the face.

You act like wanting to feel safe when a murder happened outside your building is a bad thing. I think we can all agree that BPD doesn't do shit, but don't hate on people's desire to feel safe in their homes.

Nobody is denying the reality of violence in the city just because we don't agree with what OP is describing as an encounter with a serial killer. OP's story had no details beyond a a couple minutes of interaction with a person in a park who they didn't even have a full conversation with.

Wow... That went from 0 to 100 very quickly. I was simply pointing out that not everyone is a murderer here, but YES there are murderers. You must live a very comfortable, sheltered life to think that any person acting strange is a killer. Or, maybe you just left a lot of info out of your story?? Don't have to be a dick about it.
PleaseBmoreCharming t1_ixmrlzd wrote
I think you need to go to a dictionary and look up the definition of a serial killer, well even "killer" for that matter. A scary guy in a park hold some random objects while trying to engage you does not make him a serial killer, nor any killer for that matter. Oh, and that whole thing about the killer feeding his victims to others at his local butcher shop is just an urban legend. Good grief.

Yeah, it's definitely some kind of scam or robbery attempt. I remember others posting about it awhile back but can't remember the specifics about how the scam/robbery is supposed to work.

Check out Baltimore Heritage's page Anatomy of a Baltimore Rowhouse for some quintessential elements of the rowhouse design. But, there is also Mary Ellen Hayward and Charles Belfoure's book, The Baltimore Rowhouse, for a more in-depth examination of the architecture that makes it unique to the city.

You can at first, but they make you create an account ("rate limit" you) after awhile.

Reply to comment by dopkick in Howard County Asia night market was a disaster to some, but organizers will try again in Baltimore by GovernorOfReddit
Hmm, I don't think so, but I could be mistaken. I'll do some more research and report back. At the end of the day, I do agree that anyone should exercise some caution with the current group, no matter if they have good experience or not, given what happened in Howard. That was disgraceful and embarrassing.

This one doing it now is the same group, but there was another group who did the Asian Night Market back in... I wanna say 2019, and it went off without a hitch.
