[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG, people. The article that just appeared in The Post disclosed how horribly underfunded Metro is. I think OP was trying to point out that our first priority should be to metro, and we’ll be lucky to fund that, let alone deal with Purple Line costs, particularly when MoCo’s wealthier households are being replaced by much lower income families. It is not a pretty picture. [/quote]

The two budgets are separate. Shows what you know! So don't "OMG people" us when you know absolutely nothing about how these projects work and how they're funded.

And as a resident of MoCo's wealthier area, no, we're not going anywhere. So many people are ready to throw down 2-5M for a house in my neighborhood, there is no inventory, and there hasn't been for YEARS.

If you're the anti-Elrich, anti-liberal MoCo poster... sorry to tell you, we're doing pretty well here.

I’m the “OMG, people” poster replying here because I can’t believe how you attacked me. First, I am not the other “anti-liberal” poster you mentioned.

I do live in a nice neighborhood in Bethesda, but alas we’re not quite in the $3M to $4M range. For facts on wealthy households leaving MD, refer to state figures. MoCo tends to ignore this part of the story.

As for “two separate budgets,” again, OMG! All of this money comes from our taxes! The point is, taxes will need to go up to pay for all of these projects, thereby either pushing more people out of MoCo or depressing the value of our real estate investments. [/quote]
