I haven't posted yet, but I am worried as a home-owner in the eastern part of the county that my area will basically turn into a low-income, suburban ghetto...[/quote]

+1 There is a huge amount of anxiety surrounding not letting the eastern areas fall further. The entire county is declining but the impact of that is very different in Potomac than Silver Spring. In Potomac, it just means that someone who is very wealthy doesn't make as much money when they sell their house as they would have made if they had bought in VA. It doesn't change their lifestyle in any meaningful way. In Silver Spring, it means that someone who lives just at the edge of affordability and whose home goes under water is potentially bankrupt. Potomac school scores don't drop when people move in who only can afford a 900K house rather than 1.2M house. Silver Spring scores drop when only people who can afford low income rent move in.
