Why does Maryland own the whole River and force Virginians to gawk at its beautiful great falls from land locked parks?

Why doesn’t Virginia have an academic community like Georgetown/Big Ten UMD/Navy Annapolis/John’s Hopkins all in a 25 mile radius?

Why are all the monuments and national attractions on the Maryland side of the River?

Why are 2 nfl teams, 2 Major League Baseball teams, and NBA and NHL team on the Maryland side of the River?

As a Virginian I am beside myself .. it’s totally unfair

Ooof!!!! Obliteration.

Complete and utter nonsense.

LOL....just look at your Loudon County school board meetings where the radical right are in full rage. And your governor.

I'm not sure its going to improve under Wes Moore. I'm a long term MD resident and don't mean to diss it. But my property value in the most sought after area in Howard County has just stagnated over the last 15 years. Do you see hope for MD or is the gap just going to get wider?
What about MD turns off businesses?

LOL. You call Loudon car flung yet you live in Howard Co. I worked at the Census Bureau in Suitland, and many co-workers lived in Loudoun Co as well as WV and PA.

As far as RE, I agree with you. Maryland needs to bring in more businesses.

Loudon is far out and so is Howard. I say this and I'm in Frederick also equally far out. I think Loudon has had much better appreciation than Howard or Frederick though we've had decent appreciation in Frederick, imo.
Considering we're about an hour from DC and Baltimore, I'm not complaining.

Huh? Loudoun is right next to Fairfax and Tyson’s, which is a MAJOR job port. Two metro stations just opened there which go directly to those job locations.


Howard? No offense but it’s for people who want to commute to Baltimore, not DC. It’s almost like another region.

What Loudon has or Hoco does not have is not the question. It's about why Loudon is always included in the "NoVa" comparison to MD but HoCo never is even though HoCo is just as far from DC as Loudon is. And also, OP was asking about HoCo. But for some reason (insecurity), NoVa folks *always* have to compare NoVa (all four counties) to MoCo, even though, once again, the thread is not about MoCo.

It's like people who are insecure and went to some name brand school, and they have to mention that every chance they get. I think someone started a thread about how his wife name drops how she went to Harvard in every conversation. Only insecure people do that. This is like some of these NoVa posters.

Nobody is insecure. It is what it is. Loudoun (not Loudon, Jesus please learn to spell it, you look like a bozo) is a suburb of the Dulles Tech Corridor. Where an engineer or a programmer can easily pull in 200-300k. There is no need to commute and be dependent on DC.

Meanwhile, Howard county has no major job hubs around it. Hence, values are lower.

It’s not rocket science and nobody is insecure (except you…since you seem to keep bringing this up), it just is what it is. There’s a reason why Loudoun and Fairfax have the highest incomes in the nation.

NoVa posters like you are definitely insecure. Again, Loudon is just as far to DC as HoCo.

Why do you keep mentioning “loudon”? Nobody in this thread is bragging about “Loudoun”. Or comparing it to Howard County. Both counties are apples and oranges different.

Howard is much nicer. Very gentle and wooded.

Never really thought about that academic community. Can’t think of anywhere other than Massachusetts with all that so close together.

This thread is dumb and half you guys need to get a hobby. Some people like Virginia better like myself, some people like MD better like other posters.

Here’s the truth:

NOVA is better for job growth, safety, public schools, younger people / 20’s crowd, and for people that lean less liberal. MoCo is better for legacy affluent things like country clubs, private schools, diversity, liberal leaning people, nature debatably, and I’m sure some others. Outside of the things I mentioned and overall vibe, it it’s just commute / where you can find a good house — there are gorgeous ‘hoods in both jurisdictions.

Columbia also rated top 10 best places to live. VA not in top 10.

If you expand to 20, it includes Arlington, but it also includes Rockville.

If NoVa is so great, why is only one town in the top 20 best places to live, but "crappy" MoCo and HoCo are both on the list?

Why do I get a sense that the same poster is repeatedly posting the same thing over and over again a need is sock puppeting?

Public schools you said? LOL. There is only one good public school in NoVa: TJ. No one cares about any other NoVa school besides TJ.
And the score is MoCo 39, NoVa 5
