Reply to comment by EthanSayfo in Amtrak shares renderings of rebuilt Baltimore Penn Station by DfcukinLite
I didn't downvote your initial comments, but sure I'll take credit. That station is served by multiple bus lines, including the free circulator and the a light rail a block away. It's accessible as is without a personal automobile that the rest of us have to accommodate. I personally use a scooter to get to Penn.
Anyway like I said, the surface lots in the city can be better utilized as folks on here know.

I'm not sure how to do it in Chrome, but I imagine they have similar functionality. In Firefox, you can right click on the image and select "Open image in new tab". The images are about 3x the size they appear on the web page.
And yeah, crappy web design, CBS.

Agreed, that area should be a bigger residential/entertainment district extending up from Mt. Vernon. The Station area itself is super accessible and can really be a destination in it's own right.

I feel like that is the right procedure with any relocating franchises.

> electrifying the tracks and moving away from diesel engines
Where? The tracks were electric from Philly to New Haven in the mid '90s. Were they not from Baltimore to Philly?

People have a right to leave a high crime area. It is what it is.

Reply to Seeking Advice For Working As an Employee at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health by DarkCaprious
I worked at BSPH for a little over a year between 2021 and 2022. It’s a great name to have on your resume, but if you value a living wage, don’t stay long. You can get better tuition reimbursement with a number of Bmore employers that aren’t a disorganized mess.

That lot is only half full now because of construction workers using it for parking. Without them, maybe 1/4 of the parking spaces are used daily, if that. So the loss isn't nearly as significant as you'd think.

Reply to Advice on Purchasing a Home by Business-Vehicle4558
Not to be too negative, but you do realize that the company which you are to work for is the cause for the decay in the area where it stands? Does it not seem curious that Hopkins Medical system occupies more land than many small cities? Yet the area immediately around the complex is in decay. This is because the Medical center's actions and in-actions do not encourage developers from investing in the same immediate area. Why, because in a year or two the Medical center, will consume that same land, in their ever increasing campus footprint. For 70+ years they have clear-cut huge swaths of East Baltimore, removing, for ever, thousands of taxable properties. Its like a black hole.

Reply to comment by Notonfoodstamps in Blight seems to be reducing around Center Street light rail station? by Cheomesh
It can only be a good thing if the lower blocks of Howard are able to grab the coattails of this Centre street rebirth. Sadly the wild meandering of the light rail discourages all traffic flow. I am not against transit over cars, but this stretch of road is terrible for both. We have seen that it has discouraged renovation for decades. Additionally the side streets are used by commuters to exit the city, and these streets are also hampered by decayed roadbeds and crazy traffic patterns. If parking could be had near but not on Howard, it might be a reasonable answer to rebirth.

The thumbnail pictures were of no value.
I hope the new building will not clash with the present building, though the present ugly parking lot already does.

>What's your solution, then?
Rehabilitate anyone involved in narcotics criminal charge that can be defined as "victimless"
Throw the fucking book at anyone whose charges involve anything else.
>Because after 50+ years of the war on drugs, we have more addicts and more drug gang activity than ever before.
The national reduction of crime in the 90's has been attributed to many things, including the "stop and frisk" policies as well as keeping violent repeat offenders actually locked up.
We have more addicts because now progressive policies advocate for "safe use" spaces.
And we have more drug gang activity because of corrupt pieces of shit like Marilyn Mosby not doing their jobs to prosecute obvious offenders.
