You think cops do traffic enforcement?

I see six events, but there also can't be events for the next two and a half months because of construction. And one of those events is the ciaa, which is a week long.

The Go feature was critical when buses/light rail/subway/MARC didn't have tracking, but they all have it now. If you catch a bus that is not tracking on the app, then definetly turn on Go. When all buses started getting GPS units in 2017 and 2018, it was a game changer. I remember texting that number to find out when buses were coming, and almost none of them were tracking. Thats not the case today.
Now, we still deal with no show buses, or buses that are tracking and then stop, or the unannounced diversion, but TransitApp wont help with that.

Reply to Ranking city council by LongjumpingShot
Zeke does a lot of very progressive cosplay, but you stay to realize that he is doing a lot of that stuff on issues that don't meaningfully impact his district. Healing City Baltimore started as a feel good, unfunded law (and it's funding isn't secure moving forward).
He is cosponsoring that housing affordability bill, but just a few months ago, he was supporting a plan to oppose a plan to convert (not demolish) two buildings into 4 housing units. Why? Because a handful of community association people wanted to TEAR DOWN one of the buildings to add two parking spots.
Zeke is very progressive until you look closer. Right now he is just trying to get enough good press so he can run for city council president. He only didn't run last time because Shannon Snead beat him to it.

Reply to comment by Complete-Ad9574 in What stops the city from doing to blighted neighborhoods what they did to Federal Hill in the past? by Cheomesh
This is the answer. Redlining was really the government limiting access to loans and capital in certain areas. The dollar home program showed how a blighted neighborhood could quickly turn around when given access to loans and grants.
Redlining has gone away, but there are still plenty of ways we are keeping capital away from these neighborhoods.
Edit: You might consider reading Not In My Neighborhood for some of the history. You could also read The Color of Law to see how zoning plays a big part.
