When you are walking your dog and just find some random crab legs on the street. Happened all the time in Downtown and Mount Vernon when I lived over there.

I was a SF customer for maybe 9 or 10 years, and yes: they are expensive and act shifty whenever you actually need to use your insurance. They tried to drop me for no reason, had to get the state involved at which point they said "oh it was just an error."

It's much better driving on this roadway now, imo.

Perhaps with some of the money they will add additional cameras.

If the state police want some easy money they should find a place to squat just across the Baltimore City line by the Baltimore sign. Because people take off for 695 at that point. 🤣

I was at ~1200 a year for Geico. My rate increased after someone drove into me (everyone agrees I was not at fault) and after I got my new car... Previous car would have been paid off this year. 😕 Geico called it inflation. But I also added coverage because having been in 3 accidents since 2018 that weren't my fault, I felt I had no choice. I have been in 3 major collisions in my adult life, and those are it.

Two times (1 in Louisiana and 1 in MD) someone bumped me at low speed at a red light/stop sign, and no claims were necessary. I drive very cautiously and very low mileage.

Currently ~1700 a year. So yes that's 250 per 6 months. Will definitely be shopping around soon.

Purple Line really turned out to be a boondoggle, Larry.

What a beautiful cat.

I agree. But I hope they do some sort of traffic calming at Central and Fayatte and Central and Orleans because that is very stroady, and all I ever see is people booking it towards Hopkins/the Calvert Street overpass on Orleans or to President/to Hopkins on Fayette.

And Cathedral Hill (which is basically the hill the Basilica is on and it is a bitch if you're going up to the library, Streets Market, or... The Basilica 😂).

I was a day late and had a late fee. Now I have the due date in my calendar and monthly budget.

You don't have to do anything for the water bill. They will automatically start being billed to you... Because the bills are fundamentally tied to addresses, not people.

The seller should have given cash to the title company to set aside for any outstanding water bills. The first month in my house that bill came to me for some crazy amount, and I called my realtor who was kind enough to loop in the title company, and the title company took care of the bill once I sent it to them.

I am also a first time home owner, and had no idea either. My realtor has been wonderful.

Once you know the due date, note it and pay the balance by that date or you get late fees.

I did not know.

Welp, just another thing to feel anxious about when traffic slows in the tunnel for any reason. 🥴

Now I understand why, damn.

Yes, that is very true. It improves the livability of communities and can have a positive effect on health of populations and individuals.

Healthcare policy, health insurance, public health. I keep an eye out for the health department postings, too.

I am always looking. 👀 It has been interesting just reading about different roles! Transportation and planning aren't my expertise.

Omg tf.... Thank you for the info, wow. Does the brownfield end at Boston Street, or...? All those apartments they're building, hope it's not going to be some low level Love Canal shit. 🥴

Bingo. Like how tf did they even escape? If imma rob a bank, let me be on a main drag somewhere.

Honestly though, federal jobs also tend to pay by location. Once you remove that location pay, the real pay is kinda basic and honestly on the low side for what all they expect people to do.

Source: know folks who work for federal government.

I don't blame you for moving to have better access to healthcare. Maryland would be on my short list if I had chronic health problems like the ones you mentioned. Hell, Maryland would be on my short list if in good health... It's the Hunger Games for healthcare access in so many states, smh.

Welcome! I met people through work and meetup.com and running groups when I first moved here.

Lol nobody is trying to pay for transit and ride alongside the undesirables. It needs to be sans poor people, everywhere, on time, and free, dammit./s

Wow, more going on there than bad urban design.

Robbing a bank in Canton, if true, is ballsy. And of course, stupid.

Another decent job for someone who is not me. Different skill set and expectations compared to the impound lot supervisor, for sure.

Whatever. 🙄 If I am low SES, with only a high school education, and I want a desk job and "supervisor" on my resume to possibly be a manager tomorrow, I'm taking that job.

The city is in a bind with jobs like this, because if this job paid closer to what people on this subreddit likely consider to be a fair or livable wage, this would instead be about Baltimore City Corruption™ and how they shouldn't pay someone who oversees cars getting towed shit.

The pay is low for me personally... But I have over 20 years of experience in my field and a masters degree. This job appears to be a desk job requiring limited experience and a high school diploma or GED. And if you look at what a lot superintendent makes and what they must do (overseeing all the supervisors and lots, pay topping out at 112k), I see why it is so low.

The benefits aren't that bad either.

The title would look good on a resume.

This is probably a good job or stepping stone for someone. Will that someone live in Locust Point or Roland Park? Nope, unless they are like married to money.

That is a horrible story, omg.
