[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More to the left. People start fleeing high taxes, rising crime, and declining schools.  Zero economic growth as usual as high taxes, insane amounts of red tape to start a business continue, and the hostile environment in MoCo towards business gets worse.  The only solution MoCo pols will have for an eroding tax base and declining revenue will e to keep raising taxes, which will keep encouraging people to leave even faster and kick off an irreparable death spiral.

Basically, the Baltimoreification of MoCo has already been started and will never stop.  Ironically, when things decline due to crap policies, the tendency is to get even more stubborn and triple down on the same failed strategies even harder.  MoCo is doomed to a far left decimation of public safety, quality in schools, SFH owner's rights, and tax burden. [/quote]

And we all know what "the Baltimoreification of MoCo" means!!!!!

The more the people who wish it were still 1975 in Montgomery County move away from Montgomery County, the happier everyone will be.[/quote]

Well, I guess that accusing someone of racism rather than counter any specific points is [i]a kind[/i] of argument.

The poster's points still stand.  I moved to MOCO in the past ten years to raise a family.  We stretched financially and a bought a small SFH in a quiet neighborhood with low crime and a good local school system.  In 2023, the crime is worse, the schools are worse, and now there are certain parties that are determined to corrupt the zoning laws in ways that will disrupt neighborhoods, including the one we live in.  Ten years later we also aren't stretching financially, so when the time comes to move on, why on Earth would we remain in MOCO?  Luckily, switching the kids to private schools makes us that much more mobile.  You are right, though, we will all be happier.  Good luck![/quote]
