[quote=Anonymous]I’m interested in a real, evidence-based take on what is contributing to crime getting so out of control in upscale places like Montgomery County. And yes; say what you want, broadly speaking the county is upscale. I always felt safe myself, yes in Silver Spring, Gaithersburg, and Wheaton. But I’ve never been in the wrong place at the wrong time. People like to pin everything on Elrich because they don’t like him for other reasons, but im not sure where you connect the dots. I have seen more police presence while out and about, not less, and IIRC Elrich got a lot of pushback from the far left about being too pro-cop. So I don’t think “Marc Elrich” is the catch-all reason. But, what is? Are cops in the wrong places or just bad at their jobs? Is it unemployment? Gangs? Something to do with policy over the border in DC? High school drop out rates? Mental health? Any takes with some actual statistics? [/quote]
