[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is something really wrong with politics in MOCO.  After living here for 10 years I think it’s a mixture of:

Aging demographic preoccupied with naval gazing and focused on needs of older residents

Democratic majority that isn’t responsive to electorate as they don’t really fear being voted out from the center or right

Lots NIMBYism when it comes to development

Lots of families over extended on expensive housing looking to get a decent school for their kids.  Bitterly opposing any change.

The hypocrisy of wealthy liberals who support progressive causes but won’t give up any of their privileges.

As a result:

Net jobs losses

Politics over constructive problem solving

Kids come last in any conversation - schools, masking etc

Suppression of real political debate

No actual progress on equity issues

Money down the drain on purple line- costs spiral due to selfish Chevy Chase residents
