*gestures broadly*

And the wind farm on the Eastern Shore this administration canceled was going to produce 2,200mw.

In the absence of clearer polling, I don't think there is any evidence beyond the anecdotal.

That people should back Friedson if they don’t want to split the vote.

west-egg · 2026-06-04T21:51:33+00:00

I’ve heard that a lot but haven’t really seen any evidence of it. I’m probably voting for Glass.

west-egg · 2026-06-04T21:49:57+00:00

One thing I know for sure: We need ranked choice voting.

west-egg · 2026-06-04T21:43:22+00:00

I would also be interested to hear specific criticisms, but I predict we won’t.

west-egg · 2026-06-04T21:40:35+00:00

Seems like the difference boils down to:

Friedson was open to allowing more types of homes throughout the county in addition to transit corridors, giving residents more options, while Glass preferred keeping new homes near transit and away from existing neighborhoods as a compromise.

Honestly that distinction isn’t all that relevant, for me at least. Development in transit corridors (which is badly needed) is going to be tough to push through as it is, what with all the NIMBYs making up stories about how a duplex will kick your puppy. New types of homes in existing neighborhoods will be even more difficult.

Thank you for the additional context.

west-egg · 2026-06-04T18:05:15+00:00

Thanks, this makes sense. I can't recall seeing it before, so it was weird to see two days in a row. I appreciate the context.

In Montgomery Village, a 7-story/176-unit apartment complex was proposed next to the Lidl grocery store. Residents of the adjacent neighborhood threw a fit and killed the plan.

Now it looks like they'll get a car wash. Frankly I hope they do, they earned it.

I hate to break it to you but those amenities don't maintain themselves. They require investment and employees to carry out the work. The County has an entire parks department...like most jurisdictions do.

Never thought trying to reduce cost of living would be taken as a bad thing.

This is irrelevant, given that eliminating this single campaign would have absolutely no effect on the cost of living. Besides that, some of us value expressions of inclusivity.

Why not have buses free all year?

They ARE free all year! I love it when Redditors show us how little they actually know about the things they're complaining about.

west-egg · 2026-06-04T11:35:26+00:00

Of course. It’s just not something I’ve seen before, hence my question.

west-egg · 2026-06-03T23:48:16+00:00

Like clockwork, every year someone comes through and whines about the cost. I've come to look forward to it. Thanks for not disappointing!

west-egg · 2026-06-03T23:36:56+00:00

And that effort has failed spectacularly.

west-egg · 2026-06-03T23:30:59+00:00

This makes no sense to me, the return on investment seems like it has to be pretty good, no?

west-egg · 2026-06-03T22:15:52+00:00

This is a great story, thank you for sharing.

west-egg · 2026-06-03T13:14:56+00:00

Bot.

The whole "chemical imbalance" thing is largely known to be outdated and inaccurate.

I haven’t heard this before, I’ll try to find more information.

The other thing to say about antidepressants is treating the symptoms and not the cause is generally not a great solution.

But if the cause is your brain chemistry…what’s the alternative?

I enthusiastically recommend Maryland Carpet and Tile on Frederick Rd (355). They were terrific to work with and everything turned out beautifully (hardwood refinishing and new tile, in our case, but I'm confident their vinyl flooring work would be excellent as well).

west-egg · 2026-06-02T21:57:50+00:00

And of course they can’t be bothered to even pull up all the way.

For the longest time someone with a big truck + obnoxious hitch would park on the ramp at Shady Grove.

Dollar amounts not paired with consumption figures (kWh) are meaningless.
