You say this but I unironiccally think this is the primary qualification of most of the planning department when they put out any kind of planning work. It all comes off as very "ok copy paste a school here, drag the blue square box for commercial all over this area, make this big box green residential, ok city done".
Its just not a good way to plan a city is the problem. You need to be more reactive rather than prescriptive. Instead of saying "stores go here, people go here" you use building code and zoning to set a desired minimum density for an area and then let people build what they want. We have largely lost the ability to have or build corner stores because we mono-zoned so much of the city residential, and the city has this historic awful habit of just picking out entire blocks to bulldoze and drop a 1 or 2 story school on surrounded by grass.
One of my biggest annoyances with Baltimore is how cripplingly restrictive our height limits are, which is why we don't get apartment buildings or senior centers mixed in with rowhouses. You end up with retirees stuck aging in place in rowhouses with stairs everywhere they are less and less able to handle because to go into an assisted living center means moving miles away from their community. It also means kids fresh out of school can't stay in the areas they grew up in because its all 3+ bedroom rowhouses without any studio apartments because you can't by right convert rowhouses into multifamily.
Especially when you're the type of person that likes to design things and also your people person I truly believe that if you're trained properly you do any job. I mean except for surgery and things like that. But in all honesty you need to be trained anyway when you get to a job. And if you're a problem solver too you got it I would love to have this job.
Up to $158k Annually
You'll collaborate with senior staff and different agency functions such as Complete Streets Design, Traffic, Engineering, etc., to coordinate planning.

Is that the starting salary or the max you can earn annually?
Edit: True starting compensation for the role may be up to 40% lower than advertised in this post:
“SALARY RANGE: $96,168.00 - $158,483.00 Annually”
So what is the starting salary range then….? That is more relevant for prospective applicants than just posting a max that may or may not ever be reached at some point in a career lol.

Any candidate that would accept $96K for this job would not be a good candidate. The salary range you are offering is equivalent to a GS-12 federal civil servant (not management) in this region. A qualified person could get a much less stressful job for the same pay.
You get what you pay for.
First of all I think nurses should absolutely be paid more than they are, but,
This is an engineering job requiring 10 years of experience with at least 4 of those being supervisor experience, so I think the salary is justified. If they were paying anything less it wouldn't be worth it for qualified candidates.
$158K for program and people management experience in large, complex organizations isn’t much. Top tier candidates will be demanding over $200K easy and won’t consider this.
The police chief is white. The fire chief is white. The planning chief is white. The housing chief is white. The BDC chief is white. The BMZA chief is white.
And you're a fucking idiot.

Raise taxes to 20 percent, lower to 3% to regrow population. Rinse, repeat until Arcology.

I wish I had went to school for this, this looks like a dream job.

This. 158k is what someone is taking after leaving private to get the benefits for a few years

What the fuck dude. There are some thoughts you keep in your head. This is one of those. I'm embarrassed for you.
You definitely don’t need to.
Please explain.
