Are you implying Hopkins researchers fudged the numbers? If anything, my gut instinct would be that any study affiliated with Hopkins would be biased in the opposite direction so I’m not sure I agree with that.

>You're an addict?

Nope

>That's your expertise here?

I'm involved in counseling for people with addictions. I've also spent personal time with these folks, on the streets of Baltimore.

>Nobody is suggesting that we simply eliminate enforcement and call it a day.

You literally said that punishing people for drug crimes doesn't work.

If you ever actually cared about this issue you might actually do some volunteering or work to help people.

But you're talking about some magical solution of "safe spaces" and "national hamsterdam."

And you clearly didn't watch the wire because you'd know that Hamsterdam was an enormous shithole.

DIRECTV stream friend!

See my other comment on Directtv stream. I agree it’s such bullshit, but this was a great solution last year and I never missed a game that I wanted to watch.

There's also a proposal for HSR for the southeast corridor: from DC to Richmond, Raleigh, Atlanta, and Jacksonville.

While the Northeast Corridor is obviously more important due to the population density, it would be great to have connections through the entire coast.

That's great news. Let's get more of these and further slow down the violence. Lack of anything better to do is the leading cause of teens and young adults of any culture or background to get into trouble. There is just a bigger lack of anything to do in the poorer areas.

It’s a bit premature to be celebrating, but considering most homicides occur among individuals who know one another and have a history, targeted efforts by community members who know the players can have an impact.

Kind of none of the above. This building was more where the Old Navy/Borders were later. But the entrance we’re looking at here is in the side sort of where the Circuit City was.

DIRECTV stream is what I used last year. It’s basically a cable package that includes MASN. I split it with a friend. The promotional deal last year was 70/mo for the first 3, then went up to 90. I ended up keeping it because it made it easier to watch any football I wanted to watch last year too.

Edit: currently 75/mo - https://www.directv.com/offers/directv-stream-directv-satellite/?source=EDIKDSL58V0SNE00P&wtExtndSource=directv+stream&ds_agid=58700008156365428&gclsrc=aw.ds&gbraid=0AAAAAoX5dNQ1yhD3KiCrgPKbP6MEaIpJz&gbraid=0AAAAAoX5dNQ1yhD3KiCrgPKbP6MEaIpJz&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiZqhBhCJARIsACHHEH9hFRj46NM9fcDMtIBEct8lt8hNg7fU90ubVdh0pVuDfC2z8FQZLMYaAtk_EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds#dtv2-dtv-agnostic-plancards

I'd honestly be skeptical any singular program or policy could reduce gun violence in any major city by over 20%. If it's truly that effective it should be a nationwide model, especially considering the relatively low cost. 20% is a pretty staggering number for something like this.

You're an addict? That's your expertise here?

You're arguing against a strawman, either intentionally or simply because you haven't bothered to educate yourself on what is happening in places like Portugal. Nobody is suggesting that we simply eliminate enforcement and call it a day.

Next door; entrance would have been just to the right of the picture.

Play a board game while you listen.

BOX SCORES

This was the first thing I thought of as well. We're about a week into spring, I'm not sure that yard waste pickup collection has begun? I don't have a yard and what little yard waste we do collect (branches and the like) just goes in the regular trash.

Money ruined baseball — the broadcast networks air very few games — one must subscribe to a different platform for every other game -/ or pay premium dollars to see teams you don’t want — it’s bullshit and drives fans away

“Baltimore’s flagship community violence intervention program, Safe Streets, has led to reductions in nonfatal shootings and homicides, according to a Johns Hopkins analysis of nearly 15 years of data.

In the neighborhoods served by the five Safe Streets sites that have been open four years or more, the analysis indicated there was an average of 22% fewer homicides than predicted. And across all sites, Safe Streets was associated with a 23% reduction in nonfatal shootings, researchers found.”

There have been a lot of people in this sub very critical of any approach to violence reduction that strays from dumping money into more police, so I’m curious how people feel now. Thoughts?

How about we also work on nuking that horrifically expensive piece of shit Dunkin Donuts out of existence as well.

Wow, they're claiming it reduced gun violence by over 20% and effectively prevented 1 of every 5 murders?

Unless you have xfinity you are fucked. So pissed too as we switched to Hulu 5 years ago and it's been great, with the exception of I haven't seen an O's game since 2018 on TV.
