Can you link to a news report about this case, please?

There is no link because it's a lie. Propaganda.

The closest thing I can find is this. But they were two people with mental illness who were roommates through a transitional housing program. Not some woman living on the streets who was given a room for a few days.

Yes, there seems to be a meaningful contingent of Montgomery County residents who wish it were still 1975.

I remember reading about this in the WaPo. It's been 4 or 5 years ago, but the OP got it right, as far as I remember.

Propaganda? For what? Against what? Who would make up something like this, and why?

Maybe you remember reading about the murder of 23-year-old Laura Houghteling in 1992 - because that's what came up when I googled Bethesda murder homeless. However, other than that it involves Bethesda, a murderer who was homeless, and a murder victim who was a woman, it's totally different from the tale related by the top PP.

Everyone in the store seemed rushed and stony-faced.
Our friends' home has held on to its value from 1991. They've done a lot to it. I would live closer to downtown Bethesda but they like their space and the big yard. It sure does feels 1991 out there though.

Do you mean the Bethesda or Chevy Chase Whole Foods? There's no WF in Potomac.

Probably the one on River Road, it feels like Potomac but it is Bethesda.

I don't even live there, but this is what I think, and this is what the rest of the area thinks. You guys are like San Francisco without the tech industry, more like drab government employees who pretend to be woke. That's the reputation anyway.

I welcome differing opinions.

I think, confused rich people.

What? That has zero to do with the PP's post. It has nothing to do with landlord-tenant laws. That post is a complete and total fabrication.
