[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So, Takoma Park/Silver Spring is to blame? It does seem that Gerogia Avenue to 16th street forms some kind of "woke" belt beginning in DC. Columbia Heights, Adams Morgan, Petworth, Downtown Silver Spring. A lot of young people out of college who care a lot about "social justice" but not enough about the burdens on the taxpayer[/quote]

Yes but it isn't just the young voters thinking that they are social justice warriors. The old, older, middle age and young people in Takoma Park/Silver Spring do not see beyond their own little bubble area. They pressure local leaders to pour all the resources into their area forgetting any place further north. Germantown desperately needs help but to them its on another planet and not their concern. They see the west as their personal piggy bank with no amount too great as long as it contributes  to the betterment of TP/SS. The kicker in respect to the "social justice warriors" in this area is that so many of the 30-40 somethings in that area are complete hypocrites. They want their schools and neighborhoods to have less poverty. They don't want to help the poor they want to move them somewhere else. They segregate terribly within their schools and then brag about loving diversity.

I don't know anyone in up county that wants to keep supporting this area.  [b]I'd guess the west is just as fed up. [/b][/quote]

You would be correct.  [/quote]
