[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

The vast majority of the crime in PG county occurs in those areas inside the beltway which are barely 15% of the county.  If you take out that portion of the county, there were 14 homicides in PG County outside the beltway.  You can see the map here:

Once you eliminate the small portion of the county inside the beltway, the crime statistics for the rest of the county are very similar to MoCo, Fairfax and other DC region counties.

Yea but probably half the population lives within the beltway.  Beyond that, if you then exclude that population then the crime rate is still going to be much higher on a per capita basis not to mention that Fairfax and Montgomery county have higher populations to begin with.[/quote]

No, everyone is telling you that if you exclude the population in the beltway, the per capita crime is the same as Fairfax etc.[/quote]
