[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MoCo has great government services.

MoCo is lagging regionally in job and business creation and retention. This needs to be turned around if we want to keep those great services, which are paid for by tax dollars. Business taxes are directly proportional to strength of business sector. Residential taxes are directly proportional to property values and hosting stock. Good schools and solid, close-by jobs (at businesses) are what keep property values up.

Both of these can be (and are) true. It's all very cyclical. If we want to live in a county with good governmental services, lots of green space, etc., then we have to keep/make the county someplace people want to live and work. You can't have one without the other.

+1 I love living in MoCo but Elrich needs to go. He is in the pockets of the unions and NIMBYs which means unsustainable budgets (watch the budget discussions, particularly the ones on compensation) and high costs for developers due to delays and canceled projects which leads to less housing including less affordable housing.

If you think all is well in Denmark then please stay - but having just left for Greener pastures after 27 years in Moco I can tell you the county had lost its way on everything except parks and trash.  But please stay there!  [/quote]

Sounds like we are both happy now, which is great![/quote]
