Well, is this poster actually wrong?

This area has three jurisdictions in very close proximity, making moves easier since it may not be necessary to change jobs, friends, etc.  Right now, I pay a relatively small premium to be in Moco, but I at least arguably have better schools and services.

If that premium increases and/or the schools etc slip, why should I stay?  This is especially true as schools and services in D.C. seem to be improving.

From where I live in West Bethesda, I can be in VA or D.C., in less than ten minutes.  At some point, if Moco falls behind, I will just move a short distance south or west and another jurisdiction can get the benefit of my tax contributions.

I like Moco - there is a reason I chose it when I could afford any of the local areas - but there is a point at which it won't be worth staying.[/quote]
