well primarily i mean the fact that major stretches go through some of the least densely populated parts of the metro. also going into existing freight right of way limited the connectivity of the stations to the areas where they are located. but howard street didn't have those challenges, if the light rail was given priority over traffic lights, if there were larger shelters, if it ran more frequently it could be much more beneficial.

Well, they were going to do this for the Red Line, but Governor Hogan made sure to put a stop to all that

Hm…not sure I follow, are you making a general point about the alignment or the lack of grass?

Lots of trains that looked like this when I visited Belgium. I was so jealous. Compared, Light RailLink looks MISERABLE

one reason the light rail is the way it is is that it went largely into existing right of ways that were primarily commercial. the howard street stretch connects those two chunks, and could be a lot nicer.

Everytime you say your name in the morning, I'll say "And I'm Matt Wilson." I was very confused this morning. I'm happy to hear you be yourself on air. Keep up the good work!

Imagine if even 1/10th of the effort being put into stopping transit projects, was instead put towards making them better?

Lol yeah let's never look at things that work extremely successfully to emulate. What a stupid take.

Bluebird has good fries. They’re served with truffle aioli. The cocktails are interesting and good.

You reach halfway across the world and cherry pick an example while ignoring the disasterous public housing examples in our own city.

You not having any experience landlording in Baltimore city sure doesn't stop you from having an opinion on how easy or difficult it is. Strange.

As a low income person, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, there was a tenant who lived above me who on multiple occasions threatened to kill me specifically and also threatened to burn down the building. We eventually got them removed from the building for public safety. On the other hand, if someone can't afford rent for a month or so due to economic reasons, why should they be evicted?

Check out Backyard in Hollins Market on Tuesdays. They do a game night. I believe it’s always random and or they play multiple games per night. Haven’t been yet due to my work schedule but plan on going starting in February. Also check out No Land Beyond in Old Goucher.
