@rob_p_p Oh wait, maybe ineligible. “A further condition is that the dwelling must be the owner’s principal residence and the owner must have lived in it for at least six months of the year, including July 1 of the year for which the credit is applicable…”

I’ve been wrapped up in Baltimore transit and planning for too long. Here is a blog post from me 15 years ago: https://www.gregwalsh.com/blogarchive/2006/10/05/contest-to-design-a-better-pratt-st-corridor/Contest-to-design-a-better-Pratt-St-corridor.html

Based on those top schools, it looks like it totally reinforces this article https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22673605/upper-middle-class-meritocracy-matthew-stewart https://twitter.com/hmorrell/status/1448261546019221504

@BrookeELierman @JohnnyOJr It’s really sad that municipalities have to have their own transit systems to make up the shortcomings of @mtamaryland…we’re double paying.
The BaltMetro Area needs its own transit authority to leverage city/county infrastructure (like coordinating stop lights and right of way)

Art & Politics
Over the summer, I became more familiar with the socio-political structures that heavily influenced the work of the Italian Renaissance artists. In particular, the outsized influence of the Medici in the Republic of Florence. The Medici family came into their fortunes through banking and used those fortunes to “control” the area. Lavin (“David’s Sling and Michelangelo’s Bow”) writes that David, besides being an abstract autobiography of Michaelangelo overcoming the difficulties of working with that piece of marble, is actually a commentary on the “Medici-Goliath” (Lavin, 1990 p.140). This Goliath was a threat to the Republican nature of Florence that Michelangelo supported. With all of this political meaning overflowing from the statue, I’m not sure that most contemporary Florentines would have understood the message of David beyond the basic biblical reference.
This is eye-opening stuff to which I would distill into one uncatchy motto: Abolish private travel sports teams and ditch tech industry certifications

@eric_hontz I was really excited they were closing Chanel stores. Fascism fails when everyone looks fabulous.
