Is this a joke? The red line is buried. Baltimore has since allowed development on major parts of the proposed right of way. That’s why they are talking about some type of modified BRT-type service.
Eh? No. The Red Line was supposed to be light rail. It could be light rail again.
How are you out here talking about stuff with such authority but so ill informed.

And when Hogan is in the Senate, he will definitely not be a cheerleader for a revived red line in any mode. That would be admitting his administration made a mistake in cancelling it. I could see him supporting the N-S line in Congress however, especially if it goes through or near Johns Hopkins Homewood Campus.

The latest proposal is for a N-S subway from downtown to Towson under Greenmount Ave. Maryland will soon apply for federal funding for this new Baltimore Subway Link line.
They are still studying whether it will be a subway, light rail or BRT. Most likely it will be a BRT.
BRT? So cheap. No vision. Oh well. (All the rapid bus routes the Hogan administration designed in place of the canceled red line fizzled out. BRT will likely fizzle out too.) At least Baltimore will get an amazing new Harbourplace designed by a European star architecture firm. That is, if city voters in the fall approve the referendum. Fingers crossed.
The point of transit is to move the most number of people the most efficiently. Some people seem to think the point of transit is aesthetics, “placemaking” and developer boondoggles.

It’s behind a paywall, but here’s the details on the new grandiose plans for the Baltimore Subway Link. It would be cool if they can snag the federal funding with Hogan’s help.

Selfishly, I want to try and reduce the probability that Biden's ridiculous capital gain/step up in basis changes to occur. A sane Republican in the Senate will help.
I will also vote for Biden..
Imagine explaining this rationale to your children and grandchildren.
What..that I am trying to maximize their financial security versus giving to an inept government run by 80 year olds? Quite easy!
I would never vote for Trump but I can in good conscience vote against my livelihood and that of my children.
I can agree with this. We definitely don't need Trump in office but we do need more people serving in Congress that are as capable as Hogan and it doesn't matter which party they are in.

On the one hand, it's bad for the country and the planet. On the other hand, your children may inherit more money from you when you die. So who's to say, really?
I can argue a restrictive tax on capital gains is bad for the country..it would reduce large scale transactions of assets/businesses.
No one is right, vote for what is in your family's best interest.
I usually try to vote for what's in society's best interests. "What's in it for me" is not a good guiding principle.

Given that he killed the Baltimore Red Line and gave back the federal funding for it?
