[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lived in MoCo (Silver Spring) for 20 years and have been thinking the same thing as OP recently. Even areas that used to be relatively attractive - parks, shopping centers, even medians - look so trashy. [b]Driving in downtown Bethesda today and yes, a lot of growth and building but also a ton of congestion. [/b]Rockville / north Bethesda is the same.

It’s depressing. My kids have a lot going on in the area so I am hesitant to move. But if they didn’t I’d be heading to Howard County or elsewhere - potentially NoVa. Montgomery County has really gone downhill and it’s sad to say that as someone who really loved it here. [/quote]

Yes, when you drive in successful urbanized areas, there will be traffic congestion. I avoid the traffic congestion in downtown Bethesda by taking Metro and/or walking or biking.[/quote]

The congestion is a result of terrible planning. Big apartment buildings and offices but the same streets and parking. Poor planning. [/quote]

You're right. There is still way too much car infrastructure in downtown Bethesda.[/quote]
