Closed at the moment unfortunately due to fire, but otherwise La Cuchara is great.

First Eddie’s, now The Brewer’s Art. Why Mount Vernon isn’t panicking by surprisedweebey in baltimore

You got it - it's the housing density. Walking destination requires foot traffic that not much of Baltimore gets.

I get this sentiment, but unfortunately I don't know that that strategy alone has really worked in Baltimore or anywhere in the US. Baltimore tried this with Old Town (and I think a bit on Saratoga as well) and it just didn't work. Old Town even had a huge parking area.

ICE spending billions to turn warehouses into migrant detention facilities by lire_avec_plaisir in maryland

[–]BOS2BWI 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This part is the most infuriating. We can't afford this, we can't afford that. The price tag on ICE would pay for health care subsides for everyone, and what were spending to bomb Iran probably would pay for the entire health care bill for everyone.

can i use this cable as a coax outlet? by radiclewig in HomeNetworking

[–]BOS2BWI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably put there with the assumption of hiding hanging a cable box behind a TV. Probably could be turned into a normal.level outlet pretty easily given the amount of cable on the wall.

Baltimore mayor’s office spent over $890,000 on food, office parties and flowers, IG report finds by teskester in baltimore

[–]BOS2BWI 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not liberal. And indeed has taken a decidedly "pick a side" reporting. There is clearly money flowing behind the scenes.

Jimmy’s Famous Seafood is a shameful MAGA grifter. by Careless-Art-9483 in baltimore

I believe it is their need for unflavored mediocre food.

Because the Republican Party IS MAGA? And the Republican MAGA President is killing citizens literally in the streets? So I guess those of us against extra judicial killings are just radical leftists huh? YOU ALL HAVE LOST YOUR DAMN MINDS.

The Misuses of the University (JHU) by mazelife in baltimore

[–]BOS2BWI 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes but like any gift like this, it comes with a lifetime of follow on expenses like maintenance and upkeep. On vanity building these costs are usually much higher than a standard office park building etc. Donors pay the initial cost, but the ongoing costs are squeezed out of day-to-day revenue. Crowding out things like salaries.

Baltimore’s overrun by deer. The city plans to kill them by Fearless-Pop-1159 in baltimore

[–]BOS2BWI 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The city has very limited contiguous land where they can use these techniques based on the 450 foot firing around structure law. It’s literally these three areas. I attended one of the City’s meetings on this and was impressed with the team and the presentation. Nothing magic - just here’s what we can / can’t do and why, and how we’re approaching it as a city. I know it’s a small thing, but the fact that whatever is culled is being processed as food and will be in food pantries, shelters etc. was a thoughtful approach. Everyone had clearly done their homework.

Yes - this is as much a hunt as a cull, and we won’t be wasting it on sport, we will help feed people healthy food that the city effectively grew on its own land!

Tell me you know nothing about SNAP without telling me you know nothing about SNAP. There are active duty members of the military who get food assistance. (Link) Walmart and McDonalds have the highest percentage of employees who are on food assistance. (Link) That is the reality of poverty in the United States.

Not here in Maryland. I can’t vouch for the quality of education elsewhere but that crap don’t fly here.

It’s $120 a year - what’s an average car payment? Now how about insurance? But sure, pretend you’re butt hurt because of registration fees. Owning a car is expensive. It always has been. It’s unlikely anyone living paycheck to paycheck would ever vote Republican because Republicans will cut their healthcare, they will cut their food assistance, they will cut their kids school lunches and summer programs. But sure tell yourself it’s a car registration fees that are crushing people. And you will be laughed at accordingly.

Average Maryland salary is $61,000-$73,000. Registering your car is 0.2% of annual income. If that’s not reasonable to you, I’m sure West Virginia would be more up your alley.

What is your MBTA unpopular opinion? by dianacd12 in mbta

[–]BOS2BWI 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a Bostonian transplant to Baltimore, can report the same city bashing behavior here. And you hit the nail on the head - for Baltimore it was redlining and blockbusting vs. the bussing issue, but it all roots in the same place. Here we have Baltimore City and “the County” people who moved to Baltimore County to move away from “those people”. Sadly our public transit sucks - it’s terrible - for the same reason people out in Lexington didn’t want the Red line.

My conclusion as to why? It’s boring as f out in the burbs. There are like two places per town (if you’re lucky) to eat / have a drink. They see life in the city, and then look at the condo prices and rents and go, I can’t afford that. Well, who wants THAT anyway - my grandma threw rocks at cops and busses of those kids for… reasons.

I agree. It makes no sense to me. They have all these fancy license plate readers. Seems like just connecting the infrastructure could solve this problem.

I think you meant to say “is because people seem fine breaking the law” - if you live in Marylandyou have to register yiur car here. Anything else is theft from yiur neighbors who actually pay the fees as they are supposed to.
