So, where should they live? "Somewhere else" and "Over there" are not places people can live.

Wrong! They can live in PG county, Charles County, Baltimore and elsewhere

So you think that black and hispanic people shouldn't live anywhere near you and "your kind"? Is that it? You realize how racist you sound?

DP here. You seem to be making a lot of assumptions based on the race of people. I see nothing in OP's post about race. Who's the racist now?

oh stop. be for real. it's not poor white people moving into MoCo.

Oh no. You caught me. White Irish Catholic family with HHI under $100 and moved from DC to Montgomery County for the schools.
Sorry not sorry

Ironically the teachers who care for their kids all day are also not welcome since they are not high paid.

Not only that, home prices have gone up in the past six years; they are building new multi unit homes all over the place, many with a starting price of $850K+.

I'm thinking .. people who make < $50K are not the ones buying all those new builds.

Schools are overcrowded, and not just the poor areas. Most of the schools on the western side are over capacity, too.

MoCo is expensive. The poor are being pushed out. I do agree that MD needs to stop welcoming so many illegal immigrants. We have enough people living here who can't afford it. Importing more poor people also pushes out the already poor due to demand for services and lower priced housing.

Anyone who has lived in this county for at least a decade know this is false.

Gaithersburg used to be middle class with a small area around Montgomery Village that was low income. Now Gaithersburg is almost all low income except for Kentlands. And not only is is low income, about half the murders in the county occur there.

Clarksburg was initially criticized for promoting classic white flight suburban sprawl. Clarksburg is now basically a middle to lower middle class Black community.

Downtown Silver Spring has become absolutely ghetto. There was a time before Veterans Plaza that site was just an open turn field where young white families would have picnics and their kids would play lacrosse on a Friday evening. It’s hard to believe that was only 2011, it was all so Mayberry. There is no way I would ever hang out in Vetrans Plaza today with young kids on a Friday night.

They you’re lucky enough to live in Chevy Chase or Bethesda, your neighborhood has been static and actually a little poorer. Downtown Bethesda used to have two fur shops. Now it has none.

The only neighborhood that has actually improved and gotten richer over this period seems to be the Takoma Park Historic District. Go figure.

lol did you just base the wealth of Bethesda off fur shops?

Mink hasn’t been a thing in 25yrs.

Nah I’m a SAHM.
I did work retail awhile part-time after college.
I don’t eat much fast food. Never worked at such an establishment but have family who used to.
I don’t think anyone wants me driving a truck, for the sake of everyone’s nerves! Lol

I moved here in 1996. I guess I imported poverty too. I worked as if I got paid $100k. In reality I often didn't get paid the minimum. Countless other laws were broken along the way like not paying for training, no breaks ever, underage workers.
Three business owners didn't put me on payroll. I had ss number and no objections to payroll and paying taxes. Few others never met the minimum wage requirement.
It was not my job to make sure they pay. They were supposed to pay the IRS and me. I was supposed to pay the IRS from what they pay me. It all went to the pockets of owners who went on to open more businesses or retired. Nobody wants to tear down a business in America. Business owners are heroes here.
You want your money, go get it from businesses. Leave people alone. None can climb up the ladder or educated themselves if they are worked to death for minimum wage. I have gone to ER straight from work because working conditions.
I am not exactly uneducated and I barely made it out of poverty.

+1. Or they can immigrate her legally, but without a green card or a work permit they shouldn’t be eligible for a single penny worth of services paid for by the tax payer.

Except the rich in MoCo are not getting richer. They are moving out.

If you check housing prices in supposed rich areas of MoCo, it is common to see many houses have not exceeded housing bubble pre-GFC highs of 2006. This is not true for affluent areas in DC or Fairfax.

Crime and schools. If you want to attract well-off people to your area, have low crime and good schools.

Oh, you don't care about keeping high income people in your area? Okay then.
