True Test of Government says
Several thousands more good reasons not to live in that part of the county — Developer Heaven!
See ya says
Get ready for section 8 all over Harford County. The state isn’t happy enough keeping all of this east of 95. Now they wanna push this all over the county. I pay insane taxes to live in a nice community and the welfare queens get to live in my community for free, NFW.
Mass exodus coming to Harford County soon, Aberdeen, joppatowne, Edgewood all have been ruined by section 8 and now Harford County is set to dump this onto bel air, forest hill, hickory, fallston,
I can tell you that if one section 8 development happens anywhere close to my home, I am moving out of Harford County as fast as I can.
resident says
Don’t let the door hit ya in the ass. I’d rather have a person working hard to get out of their situation, living next to me than your family of hate.
Cheeseburger says
I think most people in this country would like to live next to people who work hard to better themselves.
Unfortunately, you are not able to pick who becomes your neighbor.
SoulCrusher says
You guys are wrong. Hard work doesn’t amount to jack squat. People need to make the most amount of money with the least amount of effort. If you worked hard and your neighbor is hardly working, yet makes double or more than you, what does that tell you about “hard” work? If we examine how hard people work in this country in relation to pay we will see most people making large sums of money are not working hard at all. They utilize their brain and devise contrivances to get more money with the least amount of effort. Remember, your employer is nothing but a tax collector for the government and pushing paper or pushing buttons is not hard work at all….
SoulCrusher says
Most people in the top 2% don’t do a damn thing at all. That’s what you need to realize and that is why the Bernie Sanders movement has gained so much ground in this country,
SoulCrusher says
You need to realize that MOST hard core drug addicts get their money from theft and need upwards of $100 per day to contain their habit. That’s a lot of money and all they have to do is steal. Stealing is NOT hard work. Just ask your Congressman…..
? says
And most hardcore drug addicts attend Fallston and C Milton Wright high schools, did you have a point?
SoulCrusher says
Yeah, the point is people are making plenty of money without working hard.
cyniskeptic says
But Edgewood, Aberdeen, Havre De Grace, and Joppa have been ruined by Sec 8
Harford County Citizen says
HAHAHA APG ruined those areas long before section 8.
. says
When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatize those that let people die not those that struggle to live.

Kris Boardwalk says
It would be nice if you included a map that might tell someone where this area is.
Mike Callahan says

fed up says
Do we really need another Wawa, dry cleaner, and cell phone store? At least they have slowed down with the CVS or Walgreens on every corner.
resident says
Look at all the houses and potential shoppers at the local grocery store. Not that there was any question but this will sail through with the county councils blessing all the while they chant Keep us rural, Harford county taxpayers are such a bunch of republican rubes
Rrrrr says
Don’t like the development? Volunteer for the planning board…

Details Matter says
Had you bothered to read your link the planning board is not accepting applications.
Lydai Shard says
Ah, Snee – the overdevelopers of Harford County!
AN EVIL COMPANY THAT HAS DESTROYED THIS COUNTY.
resident says
Define “overdevelop” Are there communities full of vacant houses? The new houses I see being built all have people living in them.
Cheeseburger says
I’m personally not aware of any areas that have housing built with no vacancy.
The only thing that comes to mind is the partially developed former Beech Tree Golf course.
Maybe he’s speaking of commercial space? I seem to recall a vacant office building next to Target in Aberdeen. I believe there is vacant newly built commercial space at the intersection of Old Philadelphia road and Route 715.
I also notice vacant commercial space in many instances of Route 40 down to the Baltimore County line.
Linny says
A gas station there would be a huge benefit. Currently, have to cross over the I-95 exchange to get gas. Would also be nice if they add a high end steakhouse, sports complex including climbing walls, bowling alley, indoor water park, full service 5 star hotel, for starters…
TSB says
It is the old Bren-Mar swim club/Golf coarse on 543 across from the entrance to Creswell road. See the map that Mike attached below, but it is the area on the west of 543. They have been trying to redevelop this area for years.
