Without any sort of public announcement, Irsay hired movers to pack up the team's offices in Owings Mills, Maryland, in the middle of the night, while the city of Baltimore slept. by DfcukinLite
Employing flair that way is one of the most stone cold masterful trolls I’ve ever seen on Reddit. I seriously don’t know if I will ever see its equal.

With the average case of wine weighing somewhere between 30 and 40 pounds and an assumption that a “few” is more than 2, I have to say, I’m pretty fucking impressed.

Again, all of this is being put in motion by RoFo’s decision to do who knows what with their parking lot and discontinue access for Wine Source.

That’s a fair question. Many people are buying large quantities (multiple cases of beer or wine) at a time. It just wouldn’t really work with other modes of transportation. Personally I used to buy cases there years ago when I had a car; now that I bike everywhere and take public transportation, I no longer buy in quantity and just generally buy less overall at Wine Source.

Again, the proposal is merely to make up for the parking they’ve had for years and are losing due to RoFo’s decision.

Better question — does Hampden really need a 7-11 AND a Royal Farms right on the Avenue? In addition to both other locations on Keswick?
How many late night cigarettes and candy does one neighborhood need?
All of this is being put in motion because RoFo is refusing to renew Wine Source’s parking lease at the existing lot. Why on Earth does a Royal Farms need such a large lot?

That argument doesn’t make sense. You’re then still left with a retail property that doesn’t have enough parking to make the business viable. It’s worked fine for close to twenty years as it is.
Wine Source will likely end up having to pay somewhere close ro $1M to convert the lot in question into their own parking — I doubt the issue with the Royal Farms lot is simply one of cost.

Unclear. The large lot across the street is owned by Royal Farms, and Royal Farms informed Wine Source that they have other plans for the lot and will no longer allow parking there, hence Wine Source’s proposal.
From this earlier discussion, Royal Farms is apparently declining to renew a parking lease.

The proposal is not to build more parking for Wine Source — it’s to build a replacement for the parking they are losing.

Yep. People may (understandably) fear the winds on the Key Bridge, but it’s pretty light compared to the rest of the Bay, let alone the ocean. I doubt such a project could break even.
EDIT:
Still appreciate OP’s thought process.

You can do it yourself pretty easily. The procedure is an ANSI standard,so it’s pretty well documented.

Apartments.com has a filter for buildings with pools. I suspect many other similar sites/apps do as well.

Part of the problem includes diminished funding for and interest in technical training at the high school level, which has been happening since the 1990s.

Worth mentioning, Baltimore has been experimenting with getting more fresh produce to corner stores since around 2014.
I’m not sure how well it’s gone, and assume that coronavirus put a dent in those efforts.
For many, sometimes proximity is well worth the higher prices. Obviously not the best full grocery experience, but often that’s a real gap.

Consider the pink line bus route.. Heads East from the intersection of Charles and Center Streets, then comes back from Hopkins through Charles and Madison Street. I don’t believe Hopkins will reimburse for transit costs.
Subway also works — just depends on what works for you.
