It’s cute that you keep on cherry picking stories and not posting related stories that address the growing unemployment in Montgomery County, but those of us who have lived in the area for 30-40 years have noticed a precipice decline in Montgomery County, while places like Arlington, Alexandria, Tysons, Falls Church, and the entirety of Loudoun County have grown so much economically that they have 4 of the top 10 richest counties per median household income in the country.

Montgomery County, which used to be #1 in the nation, is trailing Stafford County and Calvert County now, both places that used to literally be known to have a fair share of rednecks in trailers flying Confederate flags in the 80s and 90s.[/quote]

People like you who post these stupid statistics I don’t even believe that you lived here in the 80s.

decline?

In the 80s, high school students were allowed to smoke in schools. My brother took a glass blowing glass where he made bongs in high school . Kids were not getting into Ivy League schools. Gaithersburg was Calvert county.

In the 80s Montgomery County was the richest county in the country. Your personal anecdotes don’t change the data.

In the 1980s people were flying large Confederate flags on 395 south of Springfield and literally living in trailer parks in counties that have no passed Montgomery County in median household income.

If America went from #1 to #20 in median household income over a 30-40 year period voters would be livid and there would possibly be political unrest in the streets. For some reason most Montgomery County voters don’t care or worse yet welcome this depressing decline. It makes no sense, but here we are. [/quote]

LOL

Virginia is Turing blue that’s why it’s successful and MD is heading red
