Yes the question is where are the young whites going in the area

Personally I think its a combo of

less marriage/kids overall, going to private, white flight to Howard

The hispanic population has nearly doubled in less than 15 years.

[b]Something has to give here.  The tax base is shrinking and costs are increasing its not sustainable[/b][/quote]

There is no way this county can support the kind of development/growth that has been occurring.  Something will have to give.  Police forces, schools all need funding and when that goes down, the standard of living goes down.  [/quote]

Welcome to the third world.[/quote]

Or PG County[/quote]

Well to be honest PG County economic growth and standards of living has increased dramatically as "Blacks" moved into the county in the late 80's/early 90's def not DECREASED. Way more options in amenities & other things that did not exist before the influx, so your a little off on that assessment [/quote]

The number of pay day loan and liquor stores to chose from is truly mind blowing.[/quote]

Oh please the 5 communities in the inner beltway that you have never been in doesn't represent the whole county. There were no Whole Foods, Harris Teters, Wegmans, Bowie Town Centers, National Harbors, MGM's before the Black middle class moved in pre mid 1990's. Or are we pretending PG county was Orange County, CA before the influx of Blacks?[/quote]
