The only county/city to lose people from one census to the next in the entire dc to Boston area was Baltimore city. The decades of shit leadership and shit policies are creating this mess.

The city government is the cause for the high water bills. They are mismanaged, inept, and negligent. Baltimore county uses the same infrastructure that Baltimore city uses and their water bill is 20% or less than ours. The city imposes a storm water management fee and yet can’t even process the sewage that is pumped directly into the sewage processing facilities. And if you were to open your eyes and read the reports of why, you will see it’s the management, or lack there of, that causes it. The best possible way to lower our water bills is to take it away from city control

How does less consumption of water help the planet here on the east coast? It's always raining, our reservoirs are full, we have no drought. Water isn't finite. Your comment makes no sense.

Yea, they are doing a heck of a job keeping the streets safer. Murders would be over 300 a year without them.

I’m pretty sure any molehill is a mountain.

Baltimore buses are straight trash. Their app that tells you where the bus is doesn't work, the buses are filthy, and the drivers are rude. Maybe we should prioritize making our current system functional before we start expanding it.

He’s talking over the past few years.

Yes, exactly. I would rather not pay or be responsible for another employee and have my lot clean and clear. I don’t see how I’m profiting though. All that is happening is vehicles that shouldn’t be parking there are moved without my intervention. Also, it’s the towers responsibility to move the vehicles safely and carefully. If they don’t, then they should lose their towing license.

I don’t tow. Nor do I profit from towing. I just want my lot clear

No, they collect the tow fees. I make nothing off of it except keep my lot clear.

It’s a maintenance problem you dumass. I hire people to keep my lot clear and they do it. It keeps my privately owned lot clear from people that shouldn’t be there. There are signs, large fucking signs, and people will park if towing isn’t enforced. I the owner of the property gave the towers carte blanche to tow any person I don’t want on my property off that property. I GAVE THEM THE AUTHORITY TO TOW ANYONES ASS I DON’T WANT THERE.

Well I guess you lost in this round didn’t you buddy. Go cry somewhere else. Trespass towing is the same as it was yesterday.

Just imagine you have a parking pad and people are parked there when you come home from work. Would you rather have someone stop by every couple hours making sure your lot is clear or would you want to call and wait a couple hours for your space to be clear until the tow man comes.

I would pay for a security guard. The towers get paid from the illegal parking.

I literally hire these towers to keep my lot clear. I tell them in no uncertain terms, keep everyone off this lot except the cars I allow. I don't live on my lot. I work from 10-7 and my business is open from 5-7. Does that mean its free parking till I get there?

I get it and I've also seen the damage they do to cars. Using a snatch truck on AWD and just yanking them without any thought. But I need my lot clear and I don't want hookers and junkies using my lot as a place of business. Trespass towers are one level above the 9th ring of hell, but they do serve a purpose.

I have no problem reducing the drop fee and amount. The problem is parking on lots that need to be clear at a certain time. I use a trespass tow company for two small lots that used to be half filled every morning. The amount of condoms, blunt fillings, and needles found there were disgusting. Ever since the towers started removing the cars it has been clean and unoccupied. People start realizing they will be towed and stop parking there. Making the owner call in every time would be a hassle and wouldn't stop people from taking advantage. If you say add a gate, sometimes the lot needs to be open for customer drop offs and such. Just saying.
