[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can we keep this backlash against far left progressives going?  Harris did worse than Biden in MoCo.  I think there is a lot of pent up sentiment in the county angry at the progressives on the MoCo council who have now rammed through upzoning that's going to bulldoze a lot of middle class neighborhoods.  MCPS are failing badly due to way too much misguided focus on equity that's ruining all standards for quality and discipline enforcement.  Car insurance is exploding in the area because there are a lot of undocumented individuals driving around with no insurance.  Everyone is sick and tired of the county's force acceptance of crime due to the progressive council.  The street racing and loud cars are out of control. Gang crime is out of control.  The county is also not economically growing compared to our peers since there is so much hostile red tape.

How do we gut the council progressives out in the next elections?  Who is in the wings we should rally around to bring back common sense law enforcement, tough standards for education, and who will be against all this upzoning garbage? [/quote]\

How about you move to your Red wave state and leave the blues alone?  How would a red state maga person like it if I moved and tried to change their way?[/quote]
The problem for MoCo is that people are actually doing this. Affluent people in MoCo are moving to Virginia and being replaced by poor people from PG County and Latin America moving in, leaving population growth stagnant. Not a great policy for a robust tax base. [/quote]

Citation please[/quote]
These “citation please” people are the problem. Just do a modicum of research. You don’t even need a study. [b]Just go and look at the census summary report and compare 2010 and 2020. [/b]

Barely any population growth. Huge increase in poverty rates. Then go drive around upcounty in Gaithersburg and Germantown. It’s not fricking rocket science. [/quote]
Census data showed that MoCo grew by 90,000 people,  FFX  grew by 66,000 people and Arlington grew by 60,000 people and PG grew by 100,000 people.  So much for people moving to Virginia.  :roll: 
I drive all the times to Gaithersburg and Germantown,  what am I supposed to look for "Huge increase in poverty rates"?[/quote]

Now do business growth lol.

In Virginia, DC, or even Baltimore, the White Flint Mall site would be a multi use town center years ago. It is sitting idle with tumbleweeds for years even though it is between two Metro stops, across from a Whole Foods, and two blocks from Georgetown Prep. This should tell you all you need to know about what businesses and investors think of MoCo.[/quote]

That they were holding out for a stadium or corporate campus?[/quote]
