That’s why Hogan killed the red line. To keep the poor and inaccessible areas poor and inaccessible.

Source is Jeremy Zorek on Twitter. This map really illustrates why we need the Red Line and a north-south line that serves the city properly.

Yeah. I think there is a component of people like these that has a deep seated insecurity. They seem to think that their stickers show that they have cajones when they are very fearful on the inside. The zealous “defense” of their personal property seems to come from a place of insecurity. Same with their guns. They like to show them off and put AR 15 silhouette stickers on their cars. I own an AR and other firearms. It would be just plain stupid to advertise that fact. Unless one values the projection of some warped sense of John Wayne manliness more than tactical advantage and security. Warped manliness in a Baltimore city cop certainly checks a stereotype box!

I like it for the fact that it advertises “Hey, let’s never hang out” and saves others time.

It sucks that the only people that come to Baltimore from the county these days are retired cops with badge/Nazi mashup bumper stickers on their SUV.
Maryland spent 10 years shaming Baltimore for its problems and now no one wants to go there. Dudes like this spend their whole lives getting free "thank you for your service" coffee to perpetuate the narrative. Over the past 20 years, the state killed its only major city. Good luck with that, MD economy: You're Ohio now.

And 45 had two years to cut a deal with his buddy Vlad for Whelan and chose instead to do… nothing.

Ah, okay. I feel like it would be a fight and the property manager would point to that part in the law
>The tenant and the landlord may agree to a longer period of notice.
And say "You agreed to a longer period of notice". But anyway, thanks for all the useful and informative information you've provided on this topic. Very good to know.

That's so accurate it's hilarious. I have a neighbor who put up a trump 2024 sign the day after he lost. Anyway, his lawn is littered with signs telling people not to walk their pets on his grass. Even though he chose to live in a suburban corner lot with a sidewalk. You can bet I encourage my dog to piss on his lawn hahaha his lawn is also maybe a quester acre and uses a riding mower. He truly believes he's some country dwelling bad ass. You can't make the shit up lol

They want nothing more than to upset people. They take such pride in ruffling feathers. Mostly because they are so strong and fearless, while we are simply snowflakes haha.. Most they get from me is a side eye and maybe a wry smile.

Several large landlords are included in a class action suit in regards to the use of RealPage, a pricing application. RealPage has also been included in that suit.

This is a nation-wide issue; property management companies are using the same software, Yieldstar, to calculate pricing, and the algorithm is creating a feedback loop. It’s price-fixing.

So, with the company I personally work with, they told us that the law overrides the lease. This is because, if this goes to the housing court, the judge will side with the law, not the lease. The corporate office knows this, and if you push them, if they’re not stupid, they’ll follow the law.
Most of our policies are based on what will stand in a court vs. what we want to do. Like, my company used to charge $50 for a parking permit that wasn’t returned. But during COVID, the Baltimore judges stopped letting landlords charge for that because, “is a sticker worth $50?” No, it’s worth $.02.
Also, another pro tip, if you’re ever charged for damages, ask for the invoice. If it was done in house (trash removal is a big one) they can’t charge for that anymore. If there isn’t an invoice, you can contest the charge, and you will win.

Reply to comment by S-Kunst in Does repointing require a permit? by ballzdeep499
Can you recommend any youtube videos on repointing in particular? I'm going to repoint my basement (c. 1850) in the next few months using mortar from limeworks.us. Many of the bricks themselves are also disintegrating, so I'm trying to decide whether to source old bricks or use one of the other products from limeworks.
