[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One downside of living in Columbia and the suburbs of Howard County is that many of the areas, especially some of the more desireable areas, are not very walkable. I have been in River Hill for many years and it's a 3.5 mile walk to the nearest store. Some neighbors will bike there on a nice day but generally I have to drive anywhere I need to go. We do have bike paths and playgrounds within walking distance, though. Some neighborhoods are within walking distance to the grocery store but they are usually townhouses and apartments. You can still find SFHs within a mile of the village centers but you'll need to pay attention if that's what you want.[/quote]

This.

Demographically HoCo is MoCo without the large population of relatively-recent Latin American-heritage immigrants.

Columbia is the 1970s version of Bethesda and Rockville merged together and done so with a 1970s view to urban planning.

In some ways it is an improvement, but in other ways its a big setback. [/quote]

What? There are tons of immigrants in Columbia. They may not be widely disbursed (in fact, some of the neighborhoods looked down upon tend to have a lot of immigrants) but they are absolutely there. Columbia has a large Salvadoran/Honduran population. [/quote]

Come on. MoCo has on the order of 6-7 TIMES the Latino proportion that HoCo has. [/quote]

Ho Co is also tiny.
