Tbf, metro was fucked too

I'm sad at the societal conditions that spawn people like this and wish it could change. I'm not sad some dummy faced consequences of his actions though.

Didnt get his daily hug and had a temporary lapse in judgement. No harm no foul.

Hey, Al Capone hasn't had an incident since 1947 so something is working /s

My brain: 2003 wasn't 20 years ago...oh no.

Always taking these types of articles with a dubious grain of salt. But it's a big college town with a large military base. Perhaps some higher level of transience not being accounted for in the data bumping it up.

Cheaper than Charlotte or Charleston. I'd pick Greenville over Columbia though.

Inside or outside the barn?

Well, the actions to take to stop this level of homelessness are not palpable to the average voter it would seem. Either dont want to spend the tax funds to institutionalize them (jail or hospital) or still want the status quo of giving them used camping equipment to take up parks and sidewalks even more so.

This is the meme of the guy sticking something in their own bike spokes and asking who would do that.

Did you hear her talk during the debate on adopting the rules? Respect to her, but she realllllly needs to have retired like 10 years ago.

Old Ben Franklin was dead on about fish and visitors

Yes yes, whatever. The rest of us know building more housing and removing those barriers are better for the people you think you're helping. Just stand to the side while the rest of us pass you by.

Lol. I mean, if by that you mean understanding basic supply and demand principles, then I guess I'm doing it pro bono. Keep living in fantasy land thinking housing supply works with fairy dust.

And alleviating pressures on older buildings. More housing is rarely a bad thing. Luxury just means new. Rich people will live wherever regardless. More housing choice for everyone.

"Why didnt I think of that??"

And win without a majority of voters will because first past the post is a stupid method of voting.

I mean, monopolies give no incentives to change and breed echo chambers. At least some viable opposition would be appreciated to the current council who value feels over reality.

> Cops in DC not responding to anything

Works for basically anything.

Thunderdome rules?

No turning back now.

Yes, and you are sentenced to ride the Red Line for rush hour and the Green line at midnight for the rest of your life.

Yeah SEPTA is icky in all ways. But We're complaining because if you go to basically any peer industrialized country's capital city, their public transportation system is generally light years ahead of Metro. It's how wasted the potential is that gets people upset. Add on crime and general shenanigans and it leaves people less than satisfied despite being even better than most options in the states.

So 2030.

Baltimore exists
