[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the main reason people don't want to live in PG is that they are prejudiced against people who are different from them.  I have lived in MoCo and PG and I find

1)[b] Less crime. [/b] When we lived in MoCo (Wheaton) our car was broken into multiple times and my purse was snatched.  I've lived and worked in PG for 15 years and I've never had anything broken into or stolen. The police in my community are very proactive and responsive.  The only time I've had to call them was about dogs being off leash.  
2) People are generally more friendly and helpful than in MoCo.  
3) Many of the towns in PG have a small town community feeling that you don't get in MoCo (Hyattsville, Cheverly, Mt Rainier) 
4) Less traffic

Whoever said that PG doesn't have diversity clearly doesn't know what they are talking about.  The kids in my local ES hail from over 27 countries and speak 15 languages.

Not true for homicides.

PG had 80 in 2017 (down from 100), and MoCo had 20. Fairfax is usually around 20 as well.[/quote]

I am talking about my specific experience.  The middle class neighborhood I live (Cheverly) in has very little crime.  The neighborhoods in MoCo that I could afford to live in had tons of crime.  I can buy a nice SFH for under $400K in a good neighborhood in PG.  I MoCo or Fairfax I would be in a townhouse or dump at that price point.

Violent crime such as murder is not usually a random event.  Most in PG is gang/drug related or domestic dispute.

Another reason we chose PG is that because the housing costs are so low we can live well on one income and have a stay at home parent for our kids.
