[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks PP.  I'm wondering why all of the hate of NOVA. It seems so much better than moco.  Am I missing something?  I'm not from here but I thought the schools were just as good in NOVA, so what's the fuss about moco?[/quote]

PP, I think there are couple of factors contributing to the negative comments. I have grown up in Va and Md, and there has always been rivalry between Va & Md. Historically, a lot of Jews lived in Montgomery Co. and PG County is predominately AA-Black. They considered Nova "Southern" because it used to be mostly Whites and it attracts other Whites that move to the area.

Also, Nova has attracted more high paying jobs than Md. People go where the jobs are... some posters do not want to acknowledge this. But there has been a gravitational shift towards Nova while Md. has atrophied. Another factor is Va has lower income taxes for individuals.

I say, live where you feel comfortable. But, you will not regret your decision to live in Nova. You will know quickly how silly these Nova haters are...

Spare me.  We like MoCo more because the schools are superior, the neighborhoods are prettier, the restaurants are better, the politics are more in line with our values (Virginia politicians are insane), and we'd rather live in an area associated with life industries than death industries (biotech and medical research, not defense contractors).

I like Alexandria, but the schools are not good.  I like parts of Fairfax, but the obsession there with AAP is offputting.  Arlington, on the other hand, I find bland beyond belief.  I could never live there. [/quote]

Sorry, but MoCo schools are not superior to Fairfax or Arlington Co schools.  Don't like AAP? Fine, but that's a personal preference.  It doesn't make the MoCo system better.[/quote]
