[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how does the "density at the metro" relate to crime and quality of life issues? When you mix housing in with urban social and business spots, you get a lot of issues associated with drinking, drugs, homelessness, etc. Right where you live.

Many noted that Montgomery County borders D.C. and Prince George's County, which have significantly higher criminal elements. Fairfax County, on the other hand, has a geographic buffer from D.C. thanks to Arlington County and the City of Alexandria. "These guys can hop on the Red Line and zip back to D.C. with great ease," said a longtime police officer, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "We also often see cars and homes targeted right along Western Avenue in Bethesda, Chevy Chase and Friendship Heights." https://wtop.com/montgomery-county/2020/10/montgomery-co-police-see-different-types-of-crime-committed-during-pandemic/ Daily arrests.
