[quote=Anonymous]MD was/is more liberal and tolerant. VA is more conservative. A derivative of that is government supports - minimum wage laws, free stuff provided by the county, ability to get a drivers license for an undocumented (illegal) migrants - all of these in MD, but less so in VA. Based on this, MD taxes are higher, VA lower. Groups self-select along the lines of their values. Not perfectly, but overall I think it fits. I've lived in this area for 30 years, and I think this is what it boils down to. Some of the groups that have been here for 3 generations or more might have historical underlying reasons, but I am less familiar with those. [/quote]
