[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what is so horrible about Rockville that you'd quit your job over it?  Just curious, because it's considered urban by most planners (greater than 50,000 population).  I know it's not DC, but it's not Poolesville, either.  Not by any stretch.  It's got a nice town center with high walkability if you live near Rockville core.  MoCo has a great bus system and pretty easy access to the Metro.  It's very diverse, and there are many cultural centers and activities.

MoCo has taken a lot of effort to create urban centers.  It's interesting to me, for example, that Germantown has a higher population density than Silver Spring.

Again, I'm not saying they have to be your thing, but I don't get the hatred of Rockville.  I'm a suburban girl, born and raised.   Rockville feels much more urban to me than say Columbia or Springfield.   [/quote]

Thread observer...  I wouldn't consider myself uppity and I live in a place many may think is lesser than Rockville, but there is something about Rockville that I just do not like either and I would never want to live there.  The way the houses are and the layout of the city is just not appealing to me.  There are other cities in Montgomery county I feel the same way about.  I do not like the idea of living in Bethesda for instance but thats just me.  I say this as a person who did not come to the DC area until around age 30.[/quote]
