I would like to see a gmnasium for all of the kids in the area.

Sorry Nicole but the land will not be left vacant. As the Brightview Senior Living Center is being built behind the Firestone on Belair Road a Rec Center makes perfect sense. The only other problem would be a sky bridge between the library and the parks.

Just what Perry Hall needs... 50-100 more cars trying to make it to I95 each morning...

I would rather see the 50 singe family homes instead of another business or commercial establishment...wake up people, it's built homes know, or something less desirable later.....

Senior Center or rec center next to the library is a great idea! Hold off on new home construction until road work, schools, parks, sidewalks, etc. are up to par...and a new exit north of 67B would be nice!

Good luck with that new exit proposal. What's wrong with the sidewalks and the parks? Do you expect that a senior center or a rec center will cause LESS traffic?

Enough already with the houses. How about another fire station or even a park with bike and animal trails and some nice benches for the residents to enjoy. Too much building on the commercial side..

Enough with the houses! Let's sell off the foreclosures first!

If you want your housing prices to stablize and go up you have to stop the influx of new houses. Basic supply and demand. Stop housing developement in Perry Hall for a few years and watch the price of your homes go up!

lets see if that piece of property is zoned 3.5 that would be 87.5 homes how come the developer can only put 50 homes on it sounds like this is being down zoned by the developer . maybe our councilman in this district should let this developer do our.!! down zoning.!!

Omg! I am so tired of hearing about new homes. I say we need a teen center bad. Now with the new curfew our local teens my child included have no where to go. Developers are so money hungry, it makes me sick. I am by no means saying that the Avenue and the Mall are to be my son's babysitter, but come on. My son has the normal curfew of 12pm like most teens his age. They have no where to go at all. I have lived here in Perry Hall for over 20 yrs now and I am so sick of no one giving a crap about our kids. We were promised a new High School, did we get it? NO! Our high school is so over crowded and I for one do not like my child having to exit the school to go to a moldy trailor. Hey greedy developers, think about the kids of Perry Hall for once. Stop making promises you can't keep. Sorry if I offended anyone, but I am frustrated and disgusted with their lies. It has to end now.

By the way, just so you all know I am not the Karen above. I need to change that so we are not confused.

We need another middle school and high school - not houses. We have all these elememtary schools, but these kids need to go somewhere for middle and high school., Stop bringing in kids from the city and it will help as well. If there is room for 50 houses then there is enough room to build a school. As for the cost of the houses it is crazy to pay that kind of money. People cannot sell their own let alone be purchasing something new.

KM I couldn't agree more. Like I said I have been here for over 20 years and I have been hearing for the past 20 yrs they where going to build another High School, but once again it turns out to be one more lie. Like I said even a teen center. My uncle ran the city rec centers for over 40 years and we loved going there. I would volunteer my time to organize programs for the teens and I am sure there are plenty other parents that would do the same. You are SOOOOO right about them busing in kids from the city. Give me a break, why don't they just extend the bus line and invite all the people from the city to come into our neighborhoods. Mind you that was sarcasm. At one point I lived in seven courts and do you know at Halloween they had to block off all entrances to seven courts, because so many people from the city were busing in their kids to trick or treat in our neighborhoods. It's just not right. I am by far not prejudice, but I am all about doing whats good for the city I live in and Perry Hall needs to get off their high horse on the houses and do something good for the kids. There are a ton of foreclosed houses that need to be bought. We surely do not need anymore new homes. Again Developers get off your selfish high horses and think of the people in the community and not your pockets that are already filled to the rim with cash from the over priced houses you have built.

Overcrowding in Perry Hall Schools is out of control and our children must suffer for the benefit of developers. Traffic during rush hours continue to grow and reduce the appeal of living in this beautiful welll maintained community. STOP the madness and maintain this property under the project open space program. The land should be utilized in such a way as to keep the existing PH residents happy!

I love how posts continue to refer to "the overpriced houses." What makes them overpriced? Is it that not everyone can afford one? Is it that this is not the 1980's anymore when homes were $150,000? Certainly, there are foreclosures out there – and more to come - but you need to remember that we are just barely on the other side of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression – one that has severely impacted the housing industry. Have you been to Florida? Nevada? The inland empire of California? You think we have disclosures? Banks are bulldozing homes there because they don't want to carry the foreclosure on their books. There are a few foreclosures in Perry Hall, yes...but we've got nothing to complain about. My point is this - I have recently settled on one of the "overpriced" homes. It's a great house and I was involved in the building and customization process from day one. It is exactly what my family wanted and it fell well within what we could afford. Could I have bought a foreclosure or a short sale for the same amount? Indeed. Did I feel like redoing the whole home because I did not like the previous owner's paint colors? No. So I built what I wanted and love it. It's all relative, but to continue to slam your neighbors who, by the way, are likely contributing at a higher level to the tax base, is both inflammatory and insulting.

The market sets the price for everything you buy. The market also resets the prices when necessary - something we have seen with huge consequences in the last few years. I am certain that no one was complaining about the value of the homes in 2006 when they were incredibly inflated. Things have been reset. My house, to me, represents an incredible value as well as a wonderful place to raise my family. What more do I need? SIt back, relax and enjoy my tax dollars.
