I agree in general. However, everything is actually getting worse. As you said, even if it’s only 10%, or whatever percentage it is. What’s it going to be in another 50 years? Another hundred years? I wish I could say I think it will get better, but everything seems to be slowly rotting (at best).

Youtube and tiktok already remind me so much of idiocracy.

That makes sense. I feel like there is plenty to do in the Timonium area, but it is not as condensed and it is not walkable.

I think Lutherville/Timonium is a sensible choice for a family in their circumstance. I would not move inside the beltway. A Rodger’s Forge type of place would be great if they are into more condensed living, and want the urban feel around them. I wouldn’t choose that, but I’m not them. For townhome living, instead of Rodger’s Forge, I’d look at Mays Chapel.

It is not somewhere that I would suggest an out of town transplant family from the California suburbs move.

NO

Lutherville proper is pretty much at the top of the JFX. With no traffic you can be downtown in 10 minutes with no problem. Another reason I’m a fan of Lutherville/Timonium.

Cockeysville/Timonium is a great location for late 20s+. I regret moving away from Timonium seven years ago. I often go back to the old neighborhood to see friends. When my youngest finishes school, I might move back. I moved to a place called Baldwin, MD, but it feels too rural. Timonium was a great balance. I also like being just outside that 695 beltway loop.

I don’t know what kind of environment you’re comfortable in, but some of these suggestions are very far off in culture and crime rates from where you are looking in the Timonium area. Some are awesome pocket communities, but they are in areas that are slowly being consumed by the worse parts of Baltimore. If you’re in the right pocket you’re okay, but if not, you might have a problem. Very heavy traffic inside 695 too.

Timonium doesn’t have much of that other than the one apartment community in Cockeysville, and that’s not exactly bad. Be cautious. Overall, the tide is rising in that area. Some of these other places, not so much.

This is cool.

Do you understand how statistics work? All you are seeing is the bad stuff and a little bit of the fun stuff.

I’ve been using both tools about a week and they’ve been a lifesaver.

I have been using ChatGPT for a bit, and bing only for a few days. Somehow, I have not had any trouble. It’s sort of like I don’t have any trouble day-to-day in arguing with strangers in public or road raging, and it might be because I don’t act stupid or pick fights. People that are getting “quit” on by the chat are mostly playing games and doing nothing useful.

Whatever they’re trying to accomplish, it’s not working.
