Reply to comment by Anarcho-Crab in City reaches 300th homicide for 8th year in a row by Maxcactus
Yes, of course. You're exactly right. I guess from my perspective I just want to see people be able to live comfortably with affordable access to quality food. In some cases, that isn't possible without leaving though. I don't want to see your mother's family leave either but I also don't want to see them struggle just for the sake of staying, if there are better alternatives out there.

Bump and jacks, yes! I was trying to remember what they were called, I remembered bump and something. Yeah, they were very common in St. Louis a couple decades ago. I'm glad they got nipped in the bud here. I wish other crimes would be too.

"controversy" as the years (decades?) long plan for complete streets makes small, incremental progress toward 1% of street/sidewalk space being set aside for bikes.

> The article goes on with quotes from businesses aghast at bike lanes.
And yet if push comes to shove if the option were two travel lanes or one travel one parking, they'd choose the latter every single time.

Fort Avenue is the one they refer to as “downtown”, I believe. But I’m saying that a bad experience during Volo basketball would have had to be at Canton.
Edit: I have been informed this is incorrect.

No basketball at Fort Ave, but there is basketball at Canton. No idea about the downtown location.

>Baltimore has created a culture where there is no reason not to commit crimes and solve problems with guns
It's not just Baltimore culture, it's American culture. It seems that the first step in a disagreement is to pull a gun. That goes for white, black, urban, rural, etc.

>one more police officer leads to 0.1 less homicides
So 10 cops to one less body. While I definitely think less bodies tend to be a good thing, that sounds incredibly expensive at scale.

This is really just Adam Smith's Invisible Hand™ moving the marketplace. Anyone who dislikes it just hates capitalism and wants the terrorists to win because they hate America.

Really? I'm up there a time and again but it didn't seem low income to me.

Much better choice. Top Golf sucks. It's a drinking activity, not a golf activity.

My advice (since you asked for it): If you find someone at a business aggressive let their manager know and then maybe consider going somewhere else. Why do you assume the problem you had was due to racism?

300+ murders a year is the defining characteristic of the Scott admin. They've normalized it. At least when it happened under SRB, she didn't run for reelection and left politics. And Young / Pugh considered the 300+ homicides job #1 (though they failed at it). With Brandon Scott it's just seemingly accepted.

>Many expected a four-lane road, with two northbound and two southbound lanes
Well they are dumb. Thank God no one listened to them.
>a protected bicycle path will run between sidewalks and parking lanes
Hell yes let's go.

Her and Beth Hawks are the two most insufferable pieces of work in SE Baltimore. They complain about every single thing.

Not true, Fort ave is the locust point location, there is a 3rd location in the city that is "downtown"
