[quote=Anonymous]Hmm...no. There really isn't. I lived in, and know people, in your so-called "slummy" apartments. They're OK, actually. Now I've moved up in the world and I'm in Bethesda. Montgomery County is one of the richest areas of the nation, and also doesn't have a large proportion of people under the poverty line. MoCo has solid social services compared to other places in the US (not compared to some advanced European nations, obviously!). So while it entirely sucks to be poor, and I should know!!! - they do have some support available to them, notably for healthcare. MoCo on its own can't really declare independence from the rest of the US and start enacting social safety-net policies like France. You're seeing the effect of that. Still a lot to be done, of course.[/quote]
