[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that lower and Eastern MoCo have a large illegal immigrant population, made up of uneducated people unable to afford to rent regular apartments. Instead of MoCo trying to stop the influx, they are allowing middle-class neighborhoods to be destroyed so that poor illegals can live here. This is another example of putting the interests of illegal immigrants ahead of regular Americans.

I doubt that these shanties will go up in the backyards of affluent Potomac and Bethesda neighborhoods. Wheaton-Glenmont, on the other hand, already looks like Central America, with trash strewn all over the Glenmont strip mall, since poor illegal immigrants have settled into the nearby low-rent apartments (doubling up as needed). Now they will fan out to the nearby SFH neighborhoods, living in backyard shanties. Many will be single, unattached males in their 20s. This is horrible news. [/quote]

This is exactly what's happening in my neighborhood.  Used to be a solidly middle class neighborhood, and now we're half single family homes, and half single family homes with multiple families living there illegally.

The cars parked on the street is insane.  It is less than ideal.[/quote]
Same with my aunt and uncle's neighborhood. It was a nice middle class neighborhood when they moved in 30 years ago with young children. Now half the neighborhood is made up of multiple families crammed into single homes. There was even a murder in one of them, and the police found 15 illegal immigrants living there! I remember visiting my cousins, and it was a really nice neighborhood - back then.

And what you say about the cars in the street is so true. Each house has off-street parking for at least two cars, usually three, and you used to bbe able to drive up the street. Now it's wall-to-wall parked cars on both sides of the street, so that if a car is approaching you, one of you will have to back way down the street to find a place to pull out of the way. Then that car passes, and it happens again. I've had to back the car up, significantly, three times just to drive up one street. Imagine how untenable it will be when the population in these neighborhoods doubles with backyard rentals. [/quote]
