[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Taxes. VA has a Republican governor, and MD has a Democratic one. MoCo is a sanctuary county and as a result attracts low skilled immigrants who hold menial jobs and don't pay taxes. 
I grew up in MD, but live in VA now. The state taxes are about 50% lower in VA than they are in MD and for what? Your schools are mediocre at best and you don't have a strong in state university system. 
[b]Virginia has been able to attract many, many more jobs than Maryland has. Naturally, people want to live near where they work. [/b]Companies don't want to go to MD, they want to go to VA. [/quote]

This generally helps the entire DMV close-in area, not a specific state.  Plenty of people as an example choose to live in Bethesda BECAUSE they have a job in Tysons since it's a quick jump over the bridge on 495 and a quicker commute than many VA suburbs.  Similarly, a person that lives in Frederick is actually more likely to pick a job in Loudon over Rockville because it's quicker to shoot over the bridge when you factor in rush hour traffic.
