"Today, Columbia is more diverse than ever. Census figures show the community is 49% white and 28% Black, with fast-growing Asian (13%) and Hispanic or Latino (9%) populations."

Diversity is there....

"The troubling thing we found was an increasing or creeping segregation that appears to be occurring in Columbia with the isolation of African Americans from the white community and decrease of exposure between racial groups in Columbia"

The only land available to build on is far way from Oakland Mills/Long Reach/Hammond/Wilde Lake which supports her claim of whites living farther from African Americans. I think we are in a catch 22. It's a zoning issue.

Yeah the morning commute the traffic leaving the Dorsey area between the two lights is bad. The distance between the two lights and those lights are out of sync to handle more people in that area. The townhouses I imagine would be a continuation of those brick ones behind it. What a god awful view of 108 for 500k lol

I revised my comment to include Route 29.

I think I’m just in shock it’s been their for 3 years. Big green direction sign laying next to the guardrail/wake-up strips. I’m upset the mowers just mowed around it for 3 years. Nobody cares the state tax money sign has a floor point of view.
