post of 2024 is an article about a Maryland legislative trend with the potential to revolutionize the state's housing AND transit: eliminating parking minimums.

And even then, you still have to wait a couple months for the next chief prosecutor if the current one has a grudge against you and your family.

Oh my God, it’s the Election Twitter equivalent of those fake sports reporter accounts that always pop up at the trade deadlines.
Related, if you’d like to see a bike lane on Falls Rd. (Including the first part after the City line), like or retweet this tweet. Trying to prove something…

Mentored by the guy who can make a random fundraise at some chain pub in the burbs feel like the March on Washington, no less....
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Southbound Baltimore Light Rail this crowded this far north (Mt. Washington) and I’ve been to about 20-30 Orioles games at this point.

I want to be clear: Abortion remains legal in Maryland as does abortion medication. The right to choose is exactly that — a right. And in our Maryland, we will always defend that right.
Last month, I wrote for

Thread. Honestly, if it hasn't already, this series is going to go down as one of the best Big Two series of the decade and arguably the best Wolverine solo series ever (yeah, I said it).
My first

article of 2023 focuses on two bills currently making their way through the Baltimore City Council both with the potential to make a significant impact on housing in Baltimore:
On a northbound Baltimore Light Rail train, which up until now had ostensibly been headed towards Hunt Valley: “Our last & final stop will be North Avenue, I apologize for the inconvenience, it wasn’t my decision.”

Light Rail service is officially back on track starting Dec 23rd! Shuttle buses between stations will no longer be in service. While we transition to full service, some travel delays may occur. As a thank you to our riders, enjoy FREE Light Rail rides until January 2nd! (1/2)
Believe it or not, it's actually *Southern* Maryland that has the nation's worst traffic, according to a 2019 Bloomberg News study. My latest article for

is one I've been hoping to write for a while and thanks to some recent developments, I finally get to do it. It's on Baltimore's B&P Tunnel and how replacing it is one of the hidden keys to the future of the Northeast Corridor:
It needs to be a priority for the Baltimore City Democratic Party and indeed for the Maryland Democratic Party to stop this ballot initiative (And for that matter Renew Baltimore's as well). Because make no mistake, it's not true Democrats pushing them:
My latest piece for

, admittedly based on the assumption that Maryland isn't going to shed any of its 24 counties anytime soon, is about the bipartisan efforts to return passenger rail to Hagerstown & Western Md. via MARC and an old B&O spur:

“Seven Nation Army” chant on the Light Rail, a fervent debate about Taylor Swift, a guy cracking wise about growing up in “the poorest house in Roland Park” (“We only had a 3-bedroom house”, he quipped), we’ve so got this. Love you, Baltimore.

I've never been happier to post a
@ggwash
story than my latest piece, proclaiming the good news for all to hear that the Md. MTA has reversed its decision to cut or reduce dozens of Baltimore-area bus routes. Check out the SECOND best headline this week:
I swear to God if Pete kills this godforsaken highway project AND the Maglev, I might just have to take back every bad thing I've ever said about him. And I've said A LOT of bad things about him:

Also it's Ryanair, the Spirit Airlines of the British Isles, good luck getting them to listen to you on anything, it's kind of the whole point of the business model...

Wait. You were up at 2:45 am watching tennis while your wife was working a 12 hr shift at a hospital during a pandemic? Then you took a picture of her shoveling your driveway from the warmth of your home? Good luck dude. I’ve cut people out of my life for a lot less than this. 😬
So Thiru's going after A: the people behind Lexington Market's successful revival and R House & B: one of the most powerful unions in the state. Bold strategy, Cotton!

It is with great pleasure that I announce my latest

@KFILE
With all due respect, just saying that isn’t going to prevent it from happening. And more importantly, it doesn’t actually make you look more self-aware. It’s the Twitter equivalent of “sorry you were offended.”
As you may or may not have heard, the Maryland MTA came out with its proposed service changes for this winter and well....they’re pretty bad. As in “cancel or negatively adjust any route you’ve ever used” bad. I explain how for

And after all that drama yesterday, HB 967 to place speeding cameras on the JFX has passed the Senate 35-11 with not a single minute of debate and nary an amendment!
@DCDemocrats
You’re not going to lose a single Council seat over this, it just alters the odds as to exactly which Democrats get elected. And that’s not part of your mission statement.
