I'm already a trash-being, may as well make it official 🤣

Public transport can't have more ridership until it is made more functional. Yes we need more frequent buses, more train lines, hell even more bicycle options. When cities prioritize walking it creates more economic activity which then helps fund the public transport. Also I ride the metro everyday to work and you can catch the metro and lightrail at Lexington Market. Though I would like more trains that move through the city than the half finished attempts that are the lightrail and metro. Would've been nice if Hogan didn't literally break federal law and steal the money from the red line.

In short, if you build it, they will come.

Making better public transport makes less cars on the road which makes less traffic congestion. Expanding roads never eases traffic, like ever. Ask Houston.

Mine or the guy I replied to?

I'd really rather spend the rest of my days fighting to get affordable grocery stores and community gardens in our communities as well as jobs then leave. My moms family have been Baltimoreans since the start of the 1800s, we arent leaving no matter how hard this shit gets.

This take is disgusting. Just push poor people out of sight and out of mind so you don't have to think of the human toll our economic system has created??? Ignore any continued crime caused by poverty in whatever neighborhoods you've exiled us to? Remove the generational Baltimoreans who actually built this town and take advantage of our work? Fuck that.

And reminder, you want gentrification but who make your stupid ass coffee or artisanal pizza or stock the shelves at anthropology? Oh right, under paid folks. I'm not about to let my city turn into some bubble of wealthy people where we lose our city's culture. Kick rocks.

Cant say about in the city but Asian Court off Marriotsville Road is pretty good.
