Well, it's really annoying for the people behind you who COULD have changed lanes to the right had they known you'd be turning. Suck it up and suffer through the sound of your blinker!!!

It’s humid and gloomy AF and you are afraid of the kids across the street, the Stoner approaching the red light, and can’t quite figure out what that smell is.

Will the portion from Athol to the beltway be repaved? That is my major concern. The moment you cross from irvington to Baltimore County is clear as day, since your car no longer feels as if it's off road.

Some good news there:
The entirety will be repaved. Portions of Frederick; North Bend to Chapelgate are already permanently paved and will be striped once weather permits. Our Bike Team will provide the Bike Plans for the area so that when it's re-installed, it will be done correctly.

Can you start making the contractors on Frederick road not fuck up the road when they repave?

and a pedestrian off to the side chooses that time to cross the road.

Or you can live in an urban area. Or you can have an E-bike in the suburbs. Lots of other choices I’m sure. If we are switching from gas to electric cars that don’t pollute what does it matter?

Light rail and metro work well in first tier cities. They do not work well in second tier cities. Baltimore is a second tier city. Is there one American second tier city in which light rail works well, and by well I mean rider ship?
It is not being short sighted to point out that car centric suburbs of second tier cities do not support through ridership numbers a light rail system.

What do you think one of the factors that allowed rapid growth of NOVA was? NOVA has nearly doubled since the 90s.

The other problem is it’s dumb alignment followed by non existent transit oriented development

DC is a 1st tier city. Nova is 3million people. Moco and pgco are two most populous md counties.

The alternative is remaining in car purgatory.

I understand what you’re saying. I actually had my house for sale before I rented it. No body wants to buy, even the renter I offer to sell at a much cheaper mortgage rate than the rent, they weren’t interested.
That’s true of where I’m renting now. I can buy for a cheaper note but I don’t want to. I think only allowing home ownership is exclusionary. Good luck getting in west Howard county schools with bad credit or without a mortgage.
