[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]East County has a lot of affordable apartments 
Families struggling to make ends meet.

West County is sfh for the most part. Very few apartments (except in BCC).  Highly educated, have time to be involved & know how to navigate the complicated mcps systems and just because of sharing with fellow hhi families about resources available in general.

I wish there was more of a balance.[/quote]

It isn’t redlining it’s economics. If you have 10mil for poor families you can help many more with cheaper real estate development in the cheaper part of town. That in turns keeps it the cheaper part of town. But there are other reasons like location. Silver spring was designed for working class and lower income residents and is next to some of the worst parts of PG and NW and far from many of the Job centers in DC. People notice your neighbors matter but so do neighboring areas. Silver Spring just isn’t that great of a spot relative to the metro area’s hot spots.

You are absolutely right, definitely don't move here. It's not nice at all. Stay away.[/quote]
