[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP: This is an interesting analysis. You are correct because some of Elrich’s biggest supporters live on that street in Chevy Chase. The name escapes me but it’s the uber wealthy. Why are older voters not bothered by Elrich? Is it because most are retired and don’t have to endure horrible commutes to VA for work? Is it because the higher property taxes don’t bother them since they have residency in FL? Is it because the issues that plague MCPS no longer bother them (yes I’m aware the CE has no jurisdiction over education but parents that moved to MoCo for schools are seeing red right now). [/quote] I live in CC where it’s mainly this “old money” - govt workers, or associated lawyers with their kids out of MCPS. Comfortably living at home during this time telecommuting or early retirement. They clamor for the strict policies to make life safer while food delivered. They aren’t business owners so they don’t worry about that or the workers. They don’t worry about the schools bc their kids are out - they want them closed. It keeps them safer. They worry about the purple line in their backyard and fight that. But overall it’s a calm lovely life In the neighborhood. Some do travel to Florida or outer banks and say they stay safe in a bubble And the dirty little secret - when the pandemic hit, many of us paid the workers who supported us - cleaners who didn’t come to clean, etc. but they stopped paying.
