You ever notice right wingers never had an issue with the military budget until we spent it on a country that is actually fighting for freedom?

Meanwhile the rest of us have been asking to spend the military budget domestically for 30 years

I don't know why you would even want to renovate ALL of them.

Yes many of them are beautiful and historic but our population has declined substantially and there's no rush to move back.

Unfortunately a mix of target renovations and a lot of demolition is the practical solution

I honestly feel kind of left out. My nose doesn't work all that well, and I have no idea what all the complaints are about. I don't smell it.

I've started getting my crabs at Conrad's, they are really good.

Maybe not in forestry, but I still see developers planting them all over the place.

They need to be banned. There are miles and miles of these trees along 32 and 95, and just on my road they’re completely taking over large swaths of woods. (Aided by English Ivy killing of mature trees in the area. That should be banned too).

Or take the chance you won't get selected.

It wasn't your neighbor who decided this. It was the city. They wanted male non fruiting trees and boy do these smell male

Ginkgo. That is another horrendous smell. Distinctive is putting it mildly. Smells like stepping in dog doodoo.

If you read my comment my concern isnt that the company isnt capable of treating the waste its that the 'acceptable levels' of toxins in the effluent are not acceptable to me. We don't have any detectable vinyl chloride in the bay or harbor right now, why should we accept that 4ppm will make it in? It may be safe for humans technically, but do you really think that won't have any ecological effect?

That's literally what they do all the time, that's their entire business.

So if you think it's a problem now that you've read a headline about it, should we be shutting them down completely?

I mean from one of the articles (I dont remember which one) they said they will treat the waste water to get it down to EPA acceptable levels of vinyl chloride (4 ppm) and PFOS/PFAS (4 ppt) and then discharge it into the sewers, which might technically be 'safe' for humans but I can't imagine would be good for our already struggling Harbor and Bay. Not to mention the risk (no matter how small) of something going wrong (like, oh, say, the same thing that caused the disaster in the first place in ohio) and having another ecological disaster here. There's just no need to contaminate other communities with this stuff; its already in ohio so just treat it there.

Because obviously all poor people are lazy good for nothings 😒 does Fox News pay your rent or do you give out their propaganda for free?

and the canopy, and the courtyard, and the pier 5 hotel, and the hyatt place, and the homewood suites

doesnt help the amount of pollen they make is just gross as well!

That is the absolute best description of that wretched smell.

There’s 3 hotels in harbor east. Four seasons, waterfront Marriott and the the Tru Hilton. Not exactly “a ton”

It’s about both

It's a bit dated, but clean; The Admiral Fell Inn puts you in the heart of Fells for your budget or less. There's a cool cocktail bar in the basement (now called Anchor Bar), as well as Duck Duck Goose on the first floor.

The other option in Fells is The Pendry, but I think it's usually between $400-700/night.

Outside of those, any of the global hotels in Harbor East will pretty much be what you get from them in any other city.

Look into the Housing Choice Voucher Program, but right now it looks like the waitlist is closed: https://www.habc.org/habc-information/programs-departments/hcvp/hcvp-applicants/

Planted all over Michigan too. Just FUNKY. 🤢

Found Out About Goo!

they are planted all around maryland.

such a garbage ass tree.

It’s a quote from a movie 🙄

They are supposed to be short-lived, lasting 25 years or so. I think they will naturally die out “soon” and be replaced, but agree that a proactive solution would be to start replacing them now. As they get old and accumulate injuries and rot, their dead branches will be bigger and more likely to cause problems as they break off.
