Sick, now they can ruin my concentration twice as well

Difficult to give good direction without a budget but stick to Fed Hill/Riverside/Locust Point if you want an easier commute

Lol as long as it's not defamatory you're good my dude

Just bought in LP last year. Get a good inspector. Like any other home, evaluate the age of roof, windows, and appliances.

Observe the adjacent units. Talk to people on the block - you want to get a feel for whether you'll be able to stand the neighbors. Visit and evaluate the noise levels at morning, midday and night. If it has a skylight, pay close attention to how well it was installed - they're almost always the first thing to leak. Check for water infiltration along the edges of the top floor and the basement/crawlspace. Check the alley if you have one - will it be easy to navigate and/or bring your trash out? Does it seem like a popular cut-through or loitering spot? Check around commute times to see the parking/traffic situation.

Take a look at the brick if that's part of the structure - it should be pretty obvious if it's deteriorating. If the brick is bowing out or looks swollen, run away. run all the sinks, flush the toilets, make sure that the water pressure and drainage is good and doesn't knock or anything. Look for any signs of vermin, especially if there is a restaurant on your block.

Roads and parking lots ARE urban sprawl. Get rid of them and you can fit more people and amenities!

Have you considered that roads are a barrier to people walking places, reducing the amount of foot travel and therefore demand? You could very well see an uptick in business if people feel confident that they can get there safely and directly.

Induced demand my dude

You can’t get people to use public transpo when using a car is always more convenient. Need both the carrot and the stick

And they can certainly do so, even if we shut down every 4th street to car traffic

boh money salvia

There are a few busses that can get you there and back for likely under $50

Like all things the further out you can book the better

Do not take someone to a 2-3 hour commitment for a first date

Coffee shop or a bar or a museum for a first meeting. One hour. If it's good, keep going. If it's not, you're not committed to hitting balls off a tee to the tune of $50/hr with someone you're not into

Seems like a good way to lose a car and now also a gun when you get jacked

Glad to see you hitting up LP's joints. I'm a big fan of both WG and City Limits and glad to see them stacking up decently against the likes of the just-a-little-far Don't Know wings

That's just icing on the shit sundae they were trying to serve you

I wasn't being sarcastic, fwiw. Anyone who tries to sell you an opportunity with "hard work" is your absolute enemy

Anyone who makes you work hard is your enemy

Just another gadgetbahn to keep actual infra investments from being considered

If you're hearing them loud and clear, it's possible that your houses are connected through the fan exhaust ducts. Wonder if that's something you could speak to your landlord about. Something something "quiet enjoyment of the premises". Argument is stronger if they have multiple people making the same complaint, so maybe talk to your neighbors about it.
