I appealed mine over the phone a few years ago and after presenting my case the lady asked my what I thought my home should be valued at, I told her 350k and got a notice it was lowered to 351k a few weeks later

I forgot about state but the 4% is where the major savings come in. When I bought my house in 2000 the taxes were $1800 but with the homestead credit I’m only paying about 4K of a $7500 assessment

Don't worry about overdoing it! It's Dan Deacon. He's all about crowd participation as part of the show. Be a human disco ball!

Right back at ya!

Ha. Nah a COVID took a toll on them like every other place in the world. They’re daily now but like 3pm til last call or something like that.

Mojito is killer

We are closed this Sunday. But stop in anytime, the owners are awesome. The photo may be used as inspiration, but the art cannot be “substantially similar” or it is copyright infringement. Good luck!

Thank you for the new fells point bar idea 🤣🤣

Drive down Pacific and tell me honestly you think that poor road can handle more traffic.

I'm not saying they can't build, I just think the development needs to include a plan for the affect on the whole neighborhood, not just the plot of land itself. I.e., fix Pacific and Chestnut and find a better way to let people exit Singer onto Keswick.

Chestnut and Crittenton in particular are 2-way streets but only wide enough for 1 car at a time. It works right now because hardly anybody comes back here. It won't work if the population of these 2 square blocks triples. There needs to be a plan. It won't just magically work out.

Whats happening is that the idiot NIMBYers are mucking up the discourse and everyone is dismissing the concerns wholesale because "oh its more NIMBYS, whatever" but there are a few actual relevant concerns that need to be addressed and aren't "waaah don't build here"

I briefly worked as an assessor in the county and houses being assessed at sale price was uncommon. It won’t hurt to appeal. We used a computer system that increased the value based on updates entered into the system. For instance, adding a full bath would increase the value, but the computer calculated the increase. Perhaps the City is trying to generate revenue by matching assessments to sale prices.

150 cars is a drop in the bucket for an urban area. Plus Its very walkable.

He's a redhead right? I see him all the time, if so. I think his kid may be older than a toddler now.

Tbf I live rural and have seen people throw entire trash bags out of their lifted trucks.

Shitheads are everywhere. There are more shitheads in cities, hands down. More people. More problems.

The "city is too crowded" stuff is nonsense on it's face for sure, but the particular location of the bindery truly is tucked away behind a labyrinth of narrow one-way streets of rapidly deteriorating quality with extremely limited options for egress.

I'm not opposed to development but if they intend to park 150 more cars back here they need to have a plan for getting them in and out without backing up Keswick all the way to Sisson or seeing Pacific slide off the hill and into the Jones Falls from 1000% more daily use. It's halfway gone right now!

Just don’t wear high stiletto heels or open toes, it’s going to be packed and you don’t want to fall/get stepped on/step in something gross. Otherwise I’d say anything goes.

I'm really mad at Ramos about her trying to stop this. Outrageous!

That’s it. The greater the sense of ownership of public spaces the higher the standard of acceptable behavior.

Does Maryland have a law against Ghost guns? From what I understood on the federal level they're completely legal as there's no actual law prohibiting them.

Yeah I buy that reasoning for the people absent-mindedly dumping fast food wrappers in the gutter, but not for people who intentionally dump carfuls of trash like OP described. That's on a different level and speaks to a greater psychological dysfunction.

For about four years now if not longer.

Who cares about what they wear to the OTTOBAR?

I wouldn’t. It’s a pretty trashy crowd not to mention the weather isn’t looking great so everyone is going to be crammed in tighter.

Sounds like fun

Bruh those are airsoft lowers lol
