I dunno what "asian dollar store" entails but there's a sweet little 'mall' underground in the Catonsville Hmart shopping center called BeSeTo. They stock mostly Korean and Japanese home goods and knick-knacks. Great place if you need a giant stainless steel prep bowl, or cute chopsticks, or scrubby washcloths, or... many other things! My husband's prized personal-sized Zojirushi rice cooker came from there. Definitely stocking stuffers-worthy.

What's wrong with educating people who are going to be out and about and be absolutely clueless in the process?

It's a wonderful opportunity for young folks to learn something new. They are young adults that clearly come from a bubble and the primary focus is apparently to preserve that bubble rather than to help them grow as people.

This isn't really about safety, it's about appeasing people with means who clearly could care less about the city or it's people.

Find a lower priced airBnB? I know a lot of hate is circulating on reddit about fees costing more than the rental, and that's out there, but it isn't every listing.

I may have posted this before, I worked on the Homewood campus for four years. The students were for the most part good kids - the majority of whom had no clue how to be aware when walking around a city environment. None. They would get harassed, jumped, and almost killed on Charles Street because even though you're smart enough to get into JHU, that doesn't mean you have common sense or street smarts.
