I’ve seen the same! Around Mount Vernon. I really wanted to get out the car and confront the individual, but was too afraid to get shot.

I recently came back from OKC, and was very surprised by how beautiful/safe downtown is.
It’s just boils down to the mentality of the people.

We are currently authorized to operate two live speed cameras at one time on I-83.

Yeah, it's pretty annoying not being able to determine what costs what. Good luck with your bathroom remodel. I've got one on my to do list too.

Right, I get that. I was just curious if there was a reason why the speed limit is different northbound vs. southbound between Howard St and Pleasant St.

I just don’t understand how people haven’t figured out that recycling only gets picked up every other week. It’s been almost two years of this. Or maybe they don’t care and just put their recycling out every week anyway.

Honest questions- did you know about the cameras? Do you not care? Why do you $40 prioritize speeding?

i've been picking up trash around my neighborhood for more than 10 years. it makes no impact whatsoever beyond those specific pieces of trash going to the incinerator rather than the bay.

Yes!! The PNW is beautiful but the people and cities are gross.

This is core of the problem and it stems from culture, poverty and the absence of government and community

Diamond would last a lot longer than what they've been putting down every week into the same old potholes.

Yup, this is what I do. Few times a week I’ll go out with a bag on my block and fill it up. It makes me feel better until one of the delightful people who park on my block decide that the best way to dispose of their fast food bag is to simply park, open door, and deposit into the street! Surely Chick-FIL-A cups are biodegradable! /s

Where are you downtown that there are bushes? Most people just throw their shit out on the street. While yes there's definitely a behavior problem, I also get peeved at the number of property owners that can't be bothered to go out and pick up the trash that blows/is thrown on their properties- is it fun picking up someone elses trash, no, but hey at least do your part. I've also organized neighborhood trash pickup events, and sometimes I'll take a trash bag on my walk and pick up until it's full (usually not too far!)

Seems like a good argument for adding a camera at the next bend in the road north, too. Anywhere people need to slow down and instead hit eachother on the regular.

Baltimore is probably the filthiest city in the US. Some of the city parks have more trash and filth than the downtown area.

Never been to Seattle but I went to Portland last year. I was super excited to go cause all I ever hear about is how hip and cool the place is. Arrive there and it's an absolute shit hole. Tent cities everywhere, trash, filth, etc. I looked at my wife and was like "Well, at least Baltimore isn't the worst place to live in America."

Buy a trash grabber and pick it up. People will see that and perhaps help. I’ve been doing it around my house and it feels good to clean this shit up

You don’t want to visit Seattle because moving here I was shocked how clean downtown is, but than Seattle is awful!!

It's been an issue for as long as I've been alive, and all over the place, not just in the city. I can remember seeing "no littering" signs in Harford County in the 80s.

I am kind of curious why they haven’t done that. It seems like it would be pretty easy to set up.
