[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha, just look at the demographic trends the county projected a few years ago:

https://montgomeryplanning.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/MP_TrendsReport_final.pdf

You can see by the by 2030-2040, the number of people in MoCo who will be in their prime income earning years is rapidly declining while the county overall is either getting younger or a lot older.  In other words, people with means are fleeing while the county gets a bunch of geriatric boomers.  The only place where the county is getting growth from is laughably labeled as 'international migration', which we all know is basically illegal immigration (basically where the youth is from).  The county has a net negative of domestic migration, meaning it is losing more domestic US citizens who are leaving the county than the number moving in, lol.

Long story short, US citizens with money are leaving MoCo, the only growth is largely from undocumented immigrants, and the tax base from those in their prime earning years is expected to rapidly dwindle over the next 15 years.

So who exactly is the county tearing down the housing for with these kinds of demographic trends? They're tearing down SFH and your neighborhoods for imported poverty from abroad, because there is a net negative of domestic residents of the USA moving to MoCo.  White flight?  Ha, that's old news. White people already started to flee way back in 2010, as the report shows. The ones who will keep fleeing MoCo are those with money.  It's going to be hilarious watching as the county keeps getting poorer and poorer. The tax base is going to crumble, the destruction of neighborhoods is going to accelerate it, and the only solution they'll be able to come up for the loss of revenue is to keep increasing taxes.  The impoverished people they're importing won't be able to pay the tax bills, so you know who they're going to target. [/quote]

They don’t care about wealth flight, they think that they are going to make it up in volume.  It’s all part of their urban density fantasy coloring book.[/quote]
