[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pre- 2007 Montgomery County had two selling points - it was a blue state and MCPS had a great reputation. Now, VA is also a blue state and MCPS has a bad reputation or at least not a good one. The taxes with the federal deduction for local/state taxes were pretty much hidden until the recent tax code changes. Pre-2007 most people assumed that buying in Montgomery County was a good investment but that clearly was wrong. Montgomery County real estate has been flat while VA and DC have boomed surpassing 2007 levels while Montgomery County is just barely reaching those levels in some areas again. [/quote] Can you provide any citations for these claims? I remember someone making similar assertions a few months back about escalating poverty in my area, but when the poster was confronted with actual facts it was shown the FARMS rate had been in steady decline over the past decade. [/quote] Previous PP is an alarmist who is trying to paint a bad picture of Montgomery County. Oh the schools! The horror! All these brown kids are getting into the MS magnets but what about my precious sweet Larla who has been taking prep classes since Kindergarten![/quote] It sounds a lot like a poster who was completely schooled on the MD school forum when another poster started citing data that contradicted their claims.
