[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s just say it, Montgomery county is one of the most diverse, educated, and wealthy counties in the area.

It’s hard to find all three in the DMV (or the country) at a lower COL. NIH’s employees reflect that. They’re not leaving MoCo to go live in Frederick, Carroll, or Washington County.

Pfffff......Houston has lower median cost of homes than MoCo and is diverse.  Unlike MoCo and MD,  TX's economy is booming across the state.  TX's overall tax burden is significantly lower too. 
This is just one example from many, but look what kind of starter home a family can get in Houston for <$300k:

What are you going to get in MoCo for under $300k? Some rundown shack?   Permanent WFH gives families SOOOOOOOOOO many more opportunities to live elsewhere in order to save on COL.  People complain so much all the time about the lack of housing affordability in the DMV.  Well, now you are free to address the problem by moving elsewhere while keeping your job! [/quote]

Well, you certainly won't have schools like that in Moco...[/quote]

With the massive cost and tax savings differential, you can go private and still come out ahead. Plus, you can get away from the out of control crime in the DMV. [/quote]
