You can download the CharmPass app and buy a ticket ahead of time. The trains don’t fill up so you don’t select a specific time. Find a train here, keep in mind not all northbound trains stop at BWI.

Why do you want to waste time on more highways? Look up induced demand. The wider the highways go, the more traffic jams you get, not less.

Trains & non-car prioritization throughout Baltimore (ie, bus only lights & lanes) plz & thank you.

I noticed the same thing in Orlando. Most of my friends there have moved to far out suburbs because they can no longer afford living in the city. Not to mention Traffic has picked up substantially there.

PI lawyers take cases on contingency meaning they receive a % of the settlement given by an insurer or awarded by a jury.

If there are 0 damages (or even if there damages and liability is disputed), insurers don't pay settlements. Jury will not award money if there are no damages.

PI lawyers have no incentive to take the case. It doesn't get filed.

Why can't you stay on topic? This isn't about insurers, or even tort reform. This is about frivolous lawsuits, which you claim do not exist. A person with no damages cannot file a lawsuit and win, you say. Yet it happens all the time. 50% of the lawyer commercials you see on TV are for "personal injury". The other 50% are class action. Both of which are generally predatory in nature, often push lawsuits that would not and should not exist but they make money regardless, and THAT is the whole point I have repeatedly made while you call me dumb and try to change the subject. You aren't terribly clever.

O my dumb dumb friend. How can I prove a negative, I'll try? Prior to tort reform sweeping the country, did insurers go out of business? No? Just because tort reform bills are bought and paid for by insurer lobbyists, doesn't mean they are addressing a problem. They just want to increase profits at the expense of injured individuals and children getting compensation for pain/suffering/medical treatment

Ah, that's fair. Baltimore is one of the few East Coast cities where buying a home remains affordable. My sibling is about to move to St. Pete from NYC and I get the sense that it is an area which is exploding. But on the other hand everything is about perspective... has to be less expensive than NYC.

Just Tampa getting extremely expensive, the just shear amount of people that have moved into the city has almost made getting anywhere at all a freaking multi hour ordeal, also with rent and everything skyrocketing me and my fiancé just decided to buy a house here in Baltimore

It's fun to watch you lob insults while providing absolutely zero backing for anything you are saying. Meanwhile, if you didn't rely on me to spoon feed you, you would see many bipartisan bills in state legislatures, a GOP one in House, and so on simply to tactical the very thing you say doesn't exist and isn't a problem. Welcome to reply back if you can provide some sort of substance other than unsubstantiated claims and name calling.
