Reply to comment by pittsmasterplan in What's going on in Towson? by scartonbot

Towson has also really become a small city. I grew up in Towson and went to high-school and university there. It was a sleepy little town. It has continuously grown over the last three decades. TU really needs to step up its policing of the area. You can't make Towson a destination and keep adding students and "luxury" housing and keep acting like nothing criminal/violent is going to happen.

Absolutely this. TU and Towson town proper have both increased considerably over the last 20 years. It’s getting more dense. It’s like Baltimore’s “Bethesda” if it had a flagship regional university. It’s gotten more urban and walkable and they added that circular system recently.

policing and cops don't reduce crime — they only show up after the crimes have happened
