[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is this person who keeps claiming white flight is going to Howard County.  I've lived in DC on and off for 15 years, in the city and in the suburbs, and have never even met anyone who lives in Howard County let alone someone willing to do that commute.  A handful of colleagues live in Anne Arundel County for specific school options, but this idea that a large number of Montgomery County residents will flee that far is unlikely.  [/quote]

Search the real estate thread for Howard County - many posts from people inquiring about Howard County as they consider it vs Mo Co for where to move to.[/quote]

I don't doubt there are people who want to live in Howard County.  What I doubt is that people who have actively chosen an urban, walkable, diverse, neighborhood like Takoma Park or Silver Spring are going to up and move 45 minutes away because they fear the coming Brown menace. [/quote]

Know several people who have moved to Howard for the schools. They work in the White Oak area of MoCo and in the eastern section of the county. Some decide to live just over the line for the sake of the commute. A lot of the people aren't commuting from Howard to DC to work, they are commuting from Howard to Montgomery County to work, instead of living in Montgomery, because they work in the "have not" section of the county.
