Oh, Maryland, what happened to you?

Lol, your subject line. Montgomery County does not equal all of Maryland.

One of the most difficult states in the whole USA to do business and start a business. MoCo is even worse than the rest of the state in terms of being hostile to business. Makes no damn sense for why you’d make it hard to do business when you’re sandwiched between Delaware and Virginia. Does MD enjoy losing billions to those states in lost opportunities?

Maryland is the promise land for the undocumented. You can get a fake drivers license, cheat into a good school district, work without papers, lots of free perks.

I live in Maryland and hate it. We're selling our house and moving back to VA.

My parents finally left Maryland a few years ago and we don’t go back often. I traveled to Bethesda and Rockville yesterday for the first time in about a year. What struck me the most:

-panhandlers at every side of all the major intersections. I’m shocked Montgomery county allows that.

-why on earth did they take 1/3 of a major artery (Old Georgetown Road) and close it off for bike traffic? Want to know how may bicyclists I saw using that section of the road? Exactly zero.

-I almost hit two pedestrians in two completely different areas who stepped in front of my car in the middle of the block when they were looking at their phones. Neither of them ever seemed to even notice I was there.

-I also almost got hit four separate times by people either pulling into traffic from the side streets without caring if it was clear, or realizing they wanted to turn at the next intersection when they were several lanes over.

Is it entitlement? Or do people in Maryland just tend to have their heads up their rears? I couldn’t figure it out but the vibe there is so different than it was when I was growing up there (in the 70’s and 80’s) and so different from Virginia. How do people stomach living there these days?

Do everyone a favor and stay away from Maryland! Thank you in advance.

So your judgement of Maryland comes from your recent drive through Bethesda?

Totally normal way to asses a whole state

You can keep your confederate flags, OP.

Maybe it's different in the other side of the county, but I rarely see roadside panhandlers in Silver Spring.

I'm in PG and was going to say the same thing. I don't recognize any of these problems. Maybe it's a MoCo thing?

They want Youngkin as Governor her in MD. If they move than they have him! Sorry but, I thought everyone could figure something so simple.

So It’s now more walkable, filled with pedestrians, side streets, with less freeways and speeding? That seems like a big improvement, op. Stick to your Virginia 8 land highways if you want but most of us are trying to get away from that.
