If you have the entire 1st or 2nd floor of a townhouse you can get the dimensions of the footprint of the building by visiting the SDAT website and doing a Real Property Search. Then subtract out common areas such as the hallway, etc.

You can do it yourself pretty easily. The procedure is an ANSI standard,so it’s pretty well documented.

Good thought, but those numbers are pretty unreliable.

I can vouch for Mt Washington! My wife and I moved here to start a family. We wanted somewhere with lots of space but we still wanted to be within city limits and close to public transit. It’s lovely here. We’re a ten minute walk from the light rail and Mt Washington village, which has a few bars/restaurants, but are surrounded by the woods. Lots of yard space for gardening and composting. Pretty quiet area, not much traffic, mostly people out walking. Plenty of room to start a family and decent neighbors. Highly recommend! One thing though is that people don’t like to leave Mt Washington so it can be hard to find homes for sale.

Ah, that explains Mosby and her Florida houses.

Well there was that one lobbyist Bruce Bariano (sp?) who went to federal prison for mail fraud and came back and picked up right where he left off lol

Yeah there is no version of there where there weren’t federal Marshals breaking down his door within an hour or two of the no-show

BGE online app should have an estimate of your square footage, assuming you're the one paying the utility bill. They use it to compare your usage with your neighbors with similar sized houses

Surprised pikachu face lol keep putting same people in

Baltimore has all the usual large grocers. Safeway, Publix, Giant, Whole Foods. There's Wegmans and Trader Joe's within a few miles of the city. You wouldn't have to worry about access to those places at all. It's not all bodegas and local spots.

Also recommending this and Moravia-Walther.

I'd do Canton over hampden. Canton has more of night life then hampden. Plus Canton is right by the water. They're building up a lot apartments and condos in Canton. Hampden I dislike because the parking sucks and it's crowded. It doesn't offer much like Canton does.

Sounds great and I do not necessartly disagree but we still have laws we need to enforce. Instead we have presidents making their own proclamations every 4-8 years, running through the courts to see whats legal while congress sits on their hands because it is now a voter issue as they try to exploit the extremes of both sides.

We have record numbers of people coming across the border which IMO should be absolutely contained and could be if we really wanted to. We have a border, just like every other country, it should be enforced. in Nov '22 there was 206K encounters with border patrol, of which 145K were single adults, predominately male. this is NOT a bunch of families coming across or seeking asylum. Now most are being released under title 8 and will fall through the cracks until congress does something.

Yes we need migrant workers and yes we need to do something about people already here but the spicket should be turned off otherwise until it is resolved through congress. We should make a skill based system and take in the best, most educated first and work backwards from there.

Get a measuring tape and do it yourself.

Falls and Joppa to City Hall is 13 minutes. I was close.

Next time a prospective tenant asks you a question, just tell them that your landlord has told you it’s illegal to answer their questions. I’d be sketched out by a place if tenants flat out refused to talk about it.

Moved to butchers hill 15 years ago from chicago. We were in our 20s, loved patterson park, and being walkable to fells point. Now 3 kids later happy to report our local public school is truly amazing (and about to go through a $48 million upgrade). If you’ve never done city life, Baltimore is a great place to try it out. Super friendly people and relatively affordable. Our area is very walkable with a ton of waterfront paths and many restaurants and bars between fells, canton, and highlandtown.

In a democracy, people get the politicians they deserve.

if it’s a rental unit couldn’t one look up the address on Zillow? listings usually include s.f.

or you could measure it yourself— i think you could easily get a measurement that would suffice for your escrow hearing.

Lets be real. Our elected leaders do not face this type of problem, in their personal lives. Hence they are not really interested. Since they are usually well off, and have political connections, if they did have a need to get a foreign relative in the country, they could quietly do so.

I don't know what you are talking about. And I suspect you don't either.

The real question is are you interested in an interesting living experience or what is comfortable? The suburbs offer the predictability of a chain restaurant. Many middle class Americans come from this environment, and only seek it out when moving to a new town. Baltimore city has many very different neighborhoods. Some are very city-like, and some are more pre wwII suburban, and a few places are 1970s suburbs which sit uncomfortably in the city. We have mill-town neighborhoods (Hampden/Woodberry & Dickeyville (which is like an English village), we have up-scale upper middle class town houses (Bolton Hill, Mt Vernon). We have downtown apartment living. Then there are the neighborhoods which are a mix grill of gentrified middle class rubbing elbows with working class (Charles Village, South Baltimore) Then there are our gold coasts. Roland Park, Homeland, & Guilford.

Please do not buy until you have visited and been given a tour of the neighborhoods. It is best to rent, with most of your items in storage, so you can roam around and see the neighborhoods.

Keep in mind Uni of MD is in the city. It and Hopkins Medical are huge entities which press hard on their neighborhoods and are controversial in what they give back to the city. By living in the city, you will be supporting a great historic city of the country. If you are in the burbs, all your earnings will go to support the county and will be a drain on the city.

If you are in your 20s I would definitely recommend trying out the city. So much to do in Baltimore. Mt Washington would be a good choice and you could have a yard. But also close to stores. The neat thing is that the light rail is there and will take you about two blocks from work and also easy access to theater bars etc. You may or may not decide to raise kids in the city -everyone is different- but at least enjoy the city now.

Take the money up front, and then tell everybody just how lovely and generous your landlord is that they would give you money in exchange for such a simple request of saying only positive things about them and the property! Don't talk about anything else, just talk about how great your landlord is! So generous! And just to say nice things about them! What an easy thing to do! Why would a landlord give me money just to tell prospective tenants about how great they are?? What a sweetheart!
