[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is NO comparison when it comes to the overall amenities.  Howard County wins hands down.  I grew up in Ellicott City, which I prefer to Columbia, but I think River Hill is great.[/quote]
What amenities are there in Howard county? Seriously?
It's a boring county, not much to do.[/quote]

I like Olney, but it does not compare to what Columbia offers.  Get over it.  Olney is just I want Bethesda but couldn’t afford it.[/quote]
You Columbia boosters need to learn how to read. In your excitement to prop up Columbia, you all are looking foolish. 
The first poster claimed that in terms of amenities, HOWARD COUNTY wins hands down. Really? Against MoCo?
What amenities? [/quote]

Well, instead of sounding irrationally angry, why don’t you break down the differences between the two areas in a factual, measured basis? [/quote]

Start with crime rates. Columbia has more poverty and crime. Full stop.

This is certainly true when comparing Columbia to Olney.

But you were getting yourself all wound up over the amenities between the two counties as a whole--want to break down the differences for everyone? [/quote]

Um, not really.

FTR, I’m not the poster who got wound up on amenities. I’m the poster who commented on crime.

DH and I lived in Columbia and rented for two years before kids. We moved there after grad school fully intending to buy a home and build our family there. Long story short, we moved to Olney. Crime played a role, as did schools and overall community feel.

I grew up in MoCo, so perhaps some bias played into it as well. I just love Olney in a way I never liked Columbia. Shrug. [/quote]
