[quote=Anonymous]Sad to say, but you have to compare MoCo to NOVA. I’m not sure what the reasons are, but NOVA is clearly doing better attracting business and housing. My guess is MoCo has a double whammy of regulation and taxes that restrict business and housing development. Meanwhile, progressive policies result in worsening public safety and education. Nothing is nimble enough, and key functions are subverted to ideology rather than common sense. On top of it, our system empowers individual NIMBYs to stall out the tiny bit of progress we make. Oh and it’s not immigrants. Anyone who has ever needed anything repaired in their home knows that immigrant labor is economically vital. [/quote]
