[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most staggering stat is that in 2021 Montgomery County had 36 murders while Arlington had 0. Yes, zero. It was Montgomery County’s worse year for homicides in 10 years.

Same pandemic, but totally different Covid policies in jurisdictions that were both governed exclusively by Dems presumably had at least something to do with this disparity. [/quote]

It’s just geography. We’re next to DC and PG. you have to cross the river to get to Arlington [/quote]

This is the answer.

Arlington is 36 mi.² locked in one side by a river, Montgomery is 500 square miles locked on 2 sides by DC and PG.

Crime is down everywhere. Crime is even down in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Was there a land bridge in the 1990s between DC in Arlington? Is that why Arlington had a murder rate that was double Montgomery County’s between 1990-1995?

And I guess that land bridge disintegrated at some point since then because Montgomery County now has a murder rate that’s 4x higher than Arlington’s from 2020-2025.

This river theory solves everything! [/quote]
