[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anybody that complains about MoCo without acknowledging that Arlington has the same issues is being dishonest. Arlington has awful cookie cutter houses just like northern Bethesda and east rockville/silver spring. Outside the wealthy areas in North Arlington, Arlington is equally dumpy.

On top of that, it’s a mess of highways and strip malls. Nothing aesthetic about it

Fairfax is the same: has nice areas but it’s bad urban planning

Lastly, I wonder the type of person that complains about MoCo like this: are yall retirees in MoCo? I don’t have a reason to cross the bridges to NoVa except for the airports. I literally never think about NoVa in my daily life. Do y’all travel to MoCo for work? So weird. These threads always sound like y’all got a chip on your shoulder.

And the Bethesda compound comment is just peak DCUM. I’m sure your kids are real well-adjusted with that attitude…[/quote]NP.  It's fair to compare similar areas in the same metro area.  NoVa courts Fortune 500s and other job-creating business while MoCo courts illegal aliens and the results are clear.[/quote]

Nova troll is back. Guess what, nova’s job growth is anemic, not much different than moco. Shiny amazon buildings don’t change that. North Arlington and Bethesda are remarkably similar, as are south Arlington and silver spring. It is even the same with respect to Costco: I know people in north Arlington who will only go to south Arlington for costco, just like the Bethesda folks with the Wheaton Costco. [/quote]That was me and I live in Rockville.  And are you kidding?  Tysons is full of sky-scraper-building cranes while the White Flint Crater just sits there year after year.[/quote]

I've never heard someone describe a flat surface as a crater before.[/quote]

It isn’t flat. There is literally a large hole in the ground at the old WF site. [/quote]
+1 and there are piles of rubble and stones.[/quote]
