Reply to comment by lexabear in The $19 difference: See how prices vary at 10 grocery stores by Ritaontherocksnosalt
Came here to say this exact thing! I would never go to Hmart for this specific grocery list—like, never ever. But I love going there for spices, produce, and some other items that I can’t easily find elsewhere. And their prices on these things are very competitive. This article irked me.

This isn't even remotely true. Take a 5 minute drive around south baltimore and you'll find roads that were torn up and never repaired to even close to a safe standard for cars let alone scooters or bikes.

The city can’t even fix potholes and you want cameras at every intersection…

>I have never seen a person on a wheelchair riding down the sidewalk next to the maryland ave bike lane; they ALWAYS ride in the bike lane because the sidewalks are not very passable just from trees, broken concrete, etc.. as a cyclist, I think that's great that we can have better bike infrastructure AND help handicapped folks get around easier.
This is literally discussing how to make transportation easier for bikes and wheelchairs. Completely disconnected from scooter parking.
You were literally complaining about the riding of wheelchairs in your post, not the parking of them. I responded in kind about scooters. At least pretend to argue in good faith, sheesh

Yes, and every morning when I go to work, there is a traffic boot van clamping a boot on some car in Mt V. The ONLY thing the city gov is aggressive about monitoring and over sight has to do with parking violations.

Back in the early 2000s my boss had hired a sub contractor to do some specialty electrical work, with us in Balt. He was from the Czec Republic, but was living in Chicago. He loved it. I think he found some people who he could speak to in his language.

Appreciate that, but do you have a date/time for that? I don’t see one off that link and the page at https://transportation.baltimorecity.gov/upcoming-public-meetings is dated.

The city doesn't own the camera so from the past it was found that the companies that owned them just wrote tickets because it was just printing free money. IIRC the city only got like 30% of the cash.

In Jacksonville they were taken away because it was proven to actually increase accidents from people slamming on the breaks to avoid getting ticketed. It was argued and proven to be safer to increase the length of yellow lights and do away with cameras.

>Well, that is because scooters and bikes are also the fastest and most dangerous modes of transportation on sidewalks. A pedestrian, even in a wheelchair, has very little ability to hurt other people due to their movement. Bikes can and do kill people, so they require more regulation (just like cars have even more regulations than bikes because they are even more dangerous).
this is about parking of scooters, not them riding on sidewalks.
but if we want to have that conversation, mobility of handicapped folks AND safety of pedestrians, AND safety of bikes/scooters are improved if build some bike lanes.

Reply to comment by z3mcs in I really want to discuss race and racism in Baltimore without getting kicked off of Reddit. Any suggestions? by Infinite_Magnetic7
It was criticism. Not personal. I didn't post a name or license plate or personal info. I posted these 2 people moved here in 20xx. They got cozy with the dude was councilman back then. AND cozy with xxxx truck companies. Then zoning changed so xxxx trucking companies could build in a residential area. AND I posted the link to the campaign reports in my second comment. 1/4 of fukking neighborhood moved out because they start sh!t with anyone who criticized them.
a few months back I posted the actual fines I get. OK. My bad. Remove that because it had her name as reporting me for "trash can lid being not completely closed". BUT my comment yesterday had 0 personal info. It was city zoning committee details. People could research if they wanted. If you run for office you open yourself up to that. Be transparent.
The other thing is mod maiios. When xxxx person or her alt or her supporters or her trolls or whoever they claim it was dogpiled people from xxxx neighborhood for criticizing her. AND for calling out blatant lies. Screenshots of maiios stanning for her were all over that group chat. It was beyond. I wish I hadn't deleted it. It was literally maiios telling xxxx or her alt how to get people banned from the sub. Then xxxx sending screen shots like "f off even the reddit mods love me".
exact same thing on the neighborhood nextdoor. She made herself and her alt admins. Banned anyone who criticized her. Claims everyone loves her because no one ever writes different. spoiler alert - we can't complain there. we're all banned. Meanwhile 4+ truck accidents every day because the damn roads aren't made for trucks.
it's your sub. You can read what I wrote. not personal info.

So many expired out of state tags in my neighborhood. These fuckers need to get some jury duty. I'm tired of going every year.

Yes omg. When I was 22, I was dating a guy and he took me to Blob’s park for a birthday. First time there for me, was surprised by all the polka dancing. One guy was dancing SO hard, I saw him run into the bathroom, drenched in sweat, and he came out with a new shirt on and picked up dancing right where he left off. Dude came PREPARED.

Tell me how you feel when you or your loved one gets hit by someone running a red light.
