[quote=Anonymous]Let me try and answer this from an unbiased standpoint because it seems that this is becoming really biased bickering.

Both MD and Virginia have both good and bad, and both beautiful and ugly places, both good schools and bad schools, both good and bad everything — and it comes down to preference at the end of the day (and stuff like commute needless to say). Anyone pretending otherwise is highly, highly biased and you should disregard their post in my opinion. For instance, CC village or Historic Kensington or Edgewoor or name another fantastic MoCo are undeniably amazing places to live. Conversely, Country Club Hills or Langley Forest or Belle Haven or whatever other fantastic NoVa neighborhood are undeniably amazing places to live as well. Or as another example, Langley is a fantastic school and so is Whitman. You get my point. Both are nice overall and both have good and bad spots within them.

The two things that get people really sensitive on here and causes these arguments to break out where you really see people’s biases and prejudices show are the following:
-politics 
-economic growth

As it relates to the former, I don’t follow politics but people here say VA is a more red state or at least is locally more red than MoCo / PG — this is the perception and if you’re more democrat that’s a ding against VA and a plus for MD and if you’re a republican it’s the opposite. Politics is polarizing right now and that’s why these threads devolve into arguments.

As it relates to the latter, NoVA is growing at a faster rate economically than MoCo / PG. Not much to discuss here, it just is what it is — they got Amazon, Raytheon, Boeing, and just overall seem to have more corporate prescience and job growth. Plus seeing Tysons become a city and Pentagon city become a city doesn’t really have parallels in Maryland. MD becoming more of a bedroom community, NoVa becoming more of a job center. If you prefer more of a quieter bedroom community with less sprawl, Maryland probably better. If you prefer more of a job center with more young folks in certain clusters and more sprawl as a result, Virginia probably better.

Again, comes down to preference and commute. Ignore all of the bickering on here.[/quote]
