[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone give an eff about “job growth” in a bedroom community? [/quote]

Because once schools start going down the drain property will follow.. Then the tax base flees because they have zero ties to MoCo. If there's no jobs, schools go down the toilet, and property values follow suit, how does the big govt machine in MoCo support itself with a crumbling tax base.[/quote]

This has already happened in Moco.  Agree with everything in your post except future tense.[/quote]

Then why did home prices average near 1 mil just to live in Silver Spring?[/quote]

I would suspect the SES folks and dual income gov lawyers.  But Moco can only suck in the tit of the feds for so long…you must attract some other businesses to get more tax receipts.  But alas, you are likely f’ed as a property owner in SS with Erlich winning - he will reward Rennie’s crew with ‘inflation’ bonuses for delivering him the Union win.[/quote]
Almost all of the SES I know live in NoVA or Bethesda. Silver Spring seems to be home to the academic/think tank types. Perhaps a 2 PhD household, one works in College Park and the other at a think tank, consulting firm or government. [/quote]
