*Prince George's County--a county that's the right price[/quote]
Most redlined county
Schools stink, crime[/quote]

I’ve lived in Bethesda and PG and the experience of living there is very similar. The amenities are the same. The primary differences are the concentration of low income kids and kids of color in the public schools and the landscaping. There may or may not be a meaningful difference in the actual management of the schools - jury’s out.  I’m not kidding about the landscaping. What plants are where and how they are tended, and the presence of swathes of mulch, is one of the primary indicators of wealth in both commercial and private spaces here. A full army of low wage workers descends on Bethesda every morning to tend to the landscaping. In PG county there’s a lot less of that. Some, but not as much. It’s partly HOAs but I think mostly it’s wealth. You start to notice it more, but it doesn’t negatively impact my life.

Crime-wise, for 99.5% of the people living here it’s the same. Almost no violent crime between unrelated people, some property crime that can be a nuisance if you get unlucky. Otherwise nothing. Being in the same county as Langley Park doesn’t make crime or violence there affect me differently or more than it affects people in Takoma Park. The vast majority of the county is quiet suburbs.
