People don't move out of Scandinavian countries with FAR higher rates of tax contribution. And they won't move away from here, either. Not with all the amenities that our county could provide if our budget were increased in funding by six-fold. People would be clamming to move here, not moving out.

If you can't see the difference between uprooting yourself and leaving behind your job, family, friends to move to a totally different country vs moving across the river from Potomac to McLean or across the highway from MoCo Takoma Park to PG Takoma Park without having to give up any of those, then I can't help you.[/quote]
There is no “PG Takoma Park”  hasn’t been for many years. [/quote]

That's great, but do you plan to respond to PP's substantive point, with which I agree.

No I would not move countries which would necessitate a new job, customs, language, visa, friends, etc.  But I could move from Bethesda to VA (about a 10 minute drive) without changing any of that.  My kids aren't even school age so we wouldn't even have to change that.

There is simply no comparison between the barriers to the two different types of moves.
