[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For 40+ years people have beaten up on PG County and for the same length of time complained that “there are no affordable housing options”.

There are, you just don’t want to live near black people or be tarnished with the PG county designation.

I’ll never be able to hear the whines of a white person complaining about housing costs who doesn’t even acknowledge PG county exists.[/quote]
I’m have a white family and we lived in Bowie for about seven years. The schools sucked and the city management was terrible. Moved to Moco and the schools became terrible and country management also terrible in our time there (schools went downhill around COVID). What stands out for me why we couldn’t stay in Bowie was that everyone just seemed miserable. Went to the grocery store and every employee looked miserable and was rude. Maybe the person who responded with “we don’t want to live around poor people” is right. It just had this pervasive unhappiness, and while Moco isn’t perfect either (we’ve since moved out of state) it was less miserable. [/quote]

Precisely how was the City management terrible?

I do think that various personnel changes over recent years seem to have have led to a “we govern” attitude replacing the previous “we serve” ethic, and that fiscal economy has increasingly  seemed to take a back seat, but the trash gets picked up, the snow gets removed, the roads get repaired and old water lines are gradually being replaced with surprisingly little disruption.  The police seem dedicated despite more crime than there once was. [/quote]

I mean one example is the new Ice Arena they started building and then stopped mid-project.  Losing millions.  Do you live there and keep up with the politics? The city council is a disaster.[/quote]

Much clearer, thank you. City politics leave a great deal to be desired and have for some time. But the operational side seems to be holding together. [/quote]
