Safe zones don't work. We need Hamsterdam nationwide, a transformative shift in drug policy at the federal as well as the state level. A single city, state, or front porch, for that matter, is a destination, not a solution.

He didn't, though. Portland is not Portugal. I'm not advocating for half-measures.

Yeah, it wasn’t a “shuttle”. It was a legit line. But yes Penn Station has a light rail stop. You have to catch it between Camden yards and Mt Royal, so you coming from the North would mean you’d have to catch the the Penn Station train at Mt. Royal to transfer which is dumb because at that point you could just walk.
The only reason the lightrail stop there is closed is due to the station redevelopment upgrades to the track and platform.

Ah OK yes I was talking Amtrak sorry. The electric ended at New Haven which is why I got off there even tho a later station was closer to my parents' home; there was a long wait while they swapped out for the diesel engine there.

Does it now? I know they used to run a light rail shuttle between Penn and Camden Yards that went directly to the station, but they stopped it during COVID. I know coming down from the north the closest stop is Mt. Royal which is a quick walk over.

At this point your corner bar is probably the best option.

Correct. I was taking about MARC trains specifically.

I don’t think that’s the actual timeline. They’ve been working on the old problematic NJ tunnel for some time now and B&P tunnel expansion here will being replacement soon.

NEC is electrified from DC to Boston and Amtrak runs electric trains along the route. I think you’re thinking of the state run service, MARC, that purchased diesel locomotives to run on the electrified lines in order to save money in the short term.

Just putting this out there, my spouse worked for the University of Maryland and that covered 100% tuition remission for my undergraduate degree and their graduate degree from MD institutions (UB). State employees get much better education benefits.

Either it is here and they just decided not to purchase the electric locomotives and opted for the cheaper diesel engines, or its they didn’t electrify the track at all then and are doing it now. If I remember correctly it’s the former and as I recall the state wasted millions by doing so as they just bought a brand new fleet of diesel engined locomotives several years ago as an “upgrade”.
Someone with more knowledge than me on this matter feel free to jump in…
I know they’re electrifying now as they’re planning to connect MARC commuter rail to SEPTA from the Perryville station.
Additionally, MARC will run into Northern VA to meet VRE to the south past Union station at L’Enfant Plaza. Regionally lots of big rail things are coming and I’m excited for the future of commuter rail/ train service. High time we got some connectivity round here.

Works the same in Chrome, thanks for the tip. There is the tried and true Ctrl + +/-, but beyond a certain point the images res starts to degrade.

That sounds fun, but that's your friend. OP specifically doesn't refer to this person as a friend which makes my creepy senses tingle.
Edit: Also this is weird:
>Bonus points for live webcams in bad parts of town.
Second edit: Post history makes me think OP is trying to get visual confirmation of what a person looks like because of their scammer vigilante work.

I can’t say too much on where to live, but I can give transportation advice. I would recommend using the shuttles or driving yourself rather than walking. Especially depending on the time of day or night. I don’t want to generalize or be a fear monger, but you can encounter people looking to rough you up.
