Basic premise is that the DC Metro area is doing well but the recent job growth is largely tilted towards VA, with DC and MD not seeing the same booming job growth.

Reporter says he sees this being a long term trend. Thoughts on how this will impact residential real estate in the area?

Tell that reporter and anyone bashing Maryland that it is and remains the wealthiest state in the nation. Virginia isn’t even close.

I guess you don’t understand the difference between inter-regional and state-wide comparisons.

It’s sad that the relics of the most overt discriminating in Maryland are the selling points you’re left with. Slow clap for all the Maryland privates and country clubs that continued to discriminate against Black and Jewish people well after NoVa was integrating.

Y’all closed your schools for 5 years instead of integrating

We moved to moco for easy access to the privates. Covid exposed the NOVA public rot.

Can’t really get too excited about the idea of moving to MoCo for stuffy privates and then paying higher taxes all to underwrite MCPS’s expenditures of legal fees to defend allegations of sexual harassment and probe just how incompetent McKnight has been as superintendent.

Enjoy! Meanwhile we’ll take the greater job growth and equity appreciation across the river.

And UMD as your only real in-state public university—instead of UVA, William&Mary, VA Tech, JMU, GMU etc

B1G ten UMD, Annapolis, Georgetown and Hopkins all within a 30 mile radius is a vastly superior educational community. UMD alone has more national championships and alum have more nobels, pulitzers, emmys, academy awards and fields medals than all the Va colleges put together.

Yeah and we all don’t treat that like a selling point, unlike the Maryland clowns still touting their racist, elitist private schools and country clubs. It’s like Brett Kavanaugh is your favorite son.

College Park sucks and Terp Boy still hasn’t grown up.

Maryland is too elitist I agree. Va needs to be careful with its soulless and hardscrabble sprawl.

Do you have to call it B1G UMD to remind everyone? I guess it feels great getting to see them lose on national TV. How is basketball going since the move?

Agree that Md /Dc side is more residential and all the areas billionaires live there but Va isn’t chopped liver.

Are there any stats to back this up?.

Reported in April 2023: “Virginia has gained 99,900 jobs in the past year, a job growth rate of 2.5%, outpacing Maryland’s annual job growth rate of 1.3%. Maryland has gained 35,900 jobs in the past year.”

With Amazon doing RTO that’s at least a few thousand more jobs in VA than in the past, and that’s just one company.

It's primarily in the south. Everyone loves to bring up amazon, but that's not panning out how it was originally promised.

Have you been to Pentagon City recently? It’s a pretty noticeable transformation that’s not even done yet, and in the next few years the new Virginia Tech campus in Potomac Yard will bring more jobs and residents.

Yes, I have, and it's a sprawling disaster. Anyways, it needs to show up in the numbers. Just saying, Amazon this or VTech that is meaningless.

Have you been to Bethesda? They keep constructing office buildings on every inch of land there also. Although at least it's nicely done and not a suburban hellscape like arlington.

Completely unsubstantiated claim.

There are always variations within states, counties, cities and even neighborhoods.
If you are trying to defend the state of Virginia, you can't just pick the good and ignore the bad.
Don't be ashamed of the poor areas in your state. Own it.

Low budget, unplanned hellscape sprawl of public education rot. No thanks

Because every kid from Maryland gets into Johns Hopkins.
