[quote=Anonymous]It's true that Moco has become very tired. A mix of NIMBY older people who are very pleased with themselves for buying their houses 30 years ago and want absolutely nothing to change. And a very large working class immigrant population that has presented a lot of challenges to up-county schools and social services. But there is nothing in Moco to attract new businesses, young professional families, entrepreneurs, middle class folks, creative types, and all the other people that communities need to be dynamic and interesting. Moco is paralyzed by stasis. And so we have this bifurcated county. Older homeowners below the beltway who want things to be 1994 forever. And newer immigrants north of the beltway who have their own communities, but aren't really part of the larger whole. I don't think that makes for a healthy county. Some new rental apartments in Bethesda doesn't really change things. [/quote]
