[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is linked inside the article you linked.  I basically agree with him.  It’s better to have higher income people live in MoCo than low income.  [b]If they have nowhere to live they will rent elsewhere in the area.

“If you read the report … their assumption was, that of the next 40,000 households, 10,000 would not be able to afford more than $800 a month rent,” Elrich said at the press conference. “That’s 10,000 households earning less than $30,000, or around $30,000. The next 10,000 households could not afford more than $1,300 a month rent, which means a $52,000 or $50,000 income. …That’s not the kind of job profile that we’re trying to bring to Montgomery County.”[/quote]

This is empirically incorrect. If they have nowhere to live in a legal rental, they will live in an illegal rental. Is that what you prefer?[/quote]

No, PG county or PWC.[/quote]
