What Is There Too Much of In Elkridge? Readers Respond

ELKRIDGE, MD--Moderation is key. While one bank is helpful, six is just a waste of space, and Patch Readers agree that any crime is too much crime.

We asked you what there is too much of in your town- whether it be traffic, businesses, or crime-related.

Here’s what Patch Readers said they could do without in Elkridge:

• “Homes! New home developers & Contractors.
  Our neighborhood’s are ridiculous! Older established neighborhood’s are being destroyed. Knock and old house down and build (hastily) 2 to 4 in it’s place! Our roads are now unsafe for children to play outside. I say that because yards are disappearing, and where can they ride bikes/scooters/etc. You can lean out of your window and talk to a neighbor. I’d like to know who it is at the top of the food chain that allows this kind of excessive (over) building, and gives the permits for such nonsense. Never thought I’d want to leave this area or HOCO, but I’m beyond disheartened by what’s been allowed to take place and still continues with no end in sight!”
• “By the hour motels”
• “Gas Stations”
• “good people, and there is never too much”
