[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]as a fiscal conservative, I agree with the doomsday predictions of MoCo (or really any political jurisdiction run by liberals)*, but I bought in close-in MoCo because it's where my job is and the houses are nice and more affordable than elsewhere.

I expect 0 appreciation over time. Think being in Chevy Chase entitles me to not depreciate, but we'll see.

It's almost like people don't believe others can drive 30-60 minutes to a job in Virginia or something.  Fact:  People can get to work in Virginia and live in Maryland.[/quote]

Yes, but then why put up with the crappy commutes, lack of jobs, deteriorating schools [/quote]

Because if the housing prices in Arlington rise at 10 percent a year like the NoVa boosters claim, then Bethesda's 2% annual increase (and superior schools) makes the extra 20 minute commute more tolerable.  [/quote]

What are you talking about?  If Arlington gets too expensive, it becomes out of reach for a certain type of buyer and makes other areas more attractive.  [/quote]

[b]Yes we call those people “poor minorities” and they will all end up in MoCo[/b][/quote]

Well there it is.  The biggest difference between MoCo and NOVA.  The racism.[/quote]

Actually it is classism.  Nobody has issues with wealthy minorities. the wealthiest of NOVA communities are full of them 42% of McLean high school are minorities. 80% of TJHS are minorities and you see whites trying their hardest and failing to get in. You are not going to see UMC white people lined up to live with poor whites in Manassas.[/quote]
