Chevy Chase and Kensington is all pretty conservative. Once you get farther out where it's more diverse and more government workers, that is where it is really blue.

Empower Montgomery is just a bunch of developers wanting more tax breaks amd incentives for themselves, so take that report with a grain of salt.

Top companies don't move to MoCo because our schools are in decline and the traffic is unbearable. Do your research - large companies move to where their top employees can send their children to top public schools and can easily get from home to work.

One of the reasons why our schools are in decline is because we have a larger lower-income population moving in. School performance is directly tied to SES. We have a huge new population of lower income, less-skilled employees. What are we doing about it? What jobs are we creating and what jobs are we training for? Or will we just leave this new population less-educated and skilled than boomers, Gen X, and the older millenials?

The government here is great for creating social welfare programs. And that's fine. But in concert with that, they need to be incentivizing business growth too. And they aren't. And that's why we've stagnated in most economic measures, or even regressed. 16 of the 20 most common occupations don't make enough money to be self sufficent in Montgomery County. That is a huge problem.

+1 ITA, and I'm a moderate.

I don't mind helping the poor. I grew up lower income. The way we came out of being lower income was through good paying jobs and education.

MoCo is great with giving out free this and that, but not at fostering job growth that pays well. I have donated to shelters, food banks (especially during the pandemic), but without job growth -- and jobs that pay well, not low skilled jobs -- the situation is not going to get better.

I don't think Elrich is great at attracting good paying jobs. MoCo is not NYC or Silicon Valley. It needs something else to attract businesses that pay well. Part of it is transportation. FFX does a better job with transportation -- expanding metro, widening highways. Elrich fights it and wants to push everyone onto buses. NoVa is open to creating a new bridge with MoCo. Elrich doesn't want it.

Companies want to be around areas that have good transit options. MoCo doesn't have that. Buses aren't enough. You need a metro line that goes directly to IAD. Right now, to do that, you have to go east to go west. It's stupid. No business wants that kind of transit option.

Great anecdote. Chevy Chase voted for Biden 76-21. In Kensington it was 81-16.

Right wing rubes. Takoma Park was 92-6.

I’ve lived in Moco my entire 47 years. I went from a democrat to a Republican based upon what I’ve seen here. While it’s still a decent place, it is in decline And is only going to get worse

So 1 in 5 strangers I meet in CC and Kensington voted for Trump, ick! Wow! There is evil among us, not just in FLA and Alabama. But sadly I’m Irish Catholic multigenerational attendee if the I Street and others so most my “community” are not strangers. It highly skews towards gambling debt paying pro life Trump supporting CC and Kensington dwellers.

Luckily I broke from the clutches but alas I still have too see “my community “.
