Not that poster, but the folks who are leaving are not uniformly conservative.  Not by a long shot.  Silver Spring/Takoma Park is a very insular little uber-liberal bubble.  But most of the county is more moderate.

"Silver Spring" is most of the east county. Not insular, not little, not "uber-liberal" (whatever that means), not a bubble. In fact, you might even say that Silver Spring IS most of the county.[/quote]

lol, no.  But that shows just how self-centered Silver Spring residents are.[/quote]

OK, then please tell me what parts of the county you consider Silver Spring.

Oh, look, Dan Reed even wrote a piece about it, on the blog Greater Greater Washington.

It's a Census Designated Place, and that's the easiest way to discuss population differences by unincorporated areas.

Reed is an urban planner?  He should have a clue was CDPs are.  They are used all the time.

And if you are upcounty, you should know that Germantown is bigger and has more people.  So no, Silver Spring is not "most of the county."[/quote]

SS is definitely not most of the county, but some of the comments on Dan’s post are ridiculous. Only the area within 1 mile of the Metro station is SS? Where do people come up with this sh!t?[/quote]
