[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like textbook “angry white man syndrome”. Just a standard boilerplate maga rant. “[i]Oh, my property taxes are too high!” “You’re spending MY money on brown people!” “I’ll close my remarks by threatening you.”[/i] Fortunately there are more than enough good and decent people in MoCo to drown out violent screaming nutjobs like that a-hole. [/quote] Inflation goes up, house prices go up, and the government raises taxes because inflation went up and everything costs more House prices go down, taxes go up, because [b]government can't pay for the existing services[/b]. [/quote] Maybe we should think about what those "existing services" are. [/quote] never in. maryland. they tell us to pay and shut up or leave. A lot are leaving[/quote] Yes, you should leave if you want worst schools, roads that have no upkeep, terrible transportation, no parks, no community centers, libraries that don’t have books, no restaurants, lack of choice in restaurants Yes, if you want everything that Maryland gives you it cost money if you want very little go to a state that gives you very little[/quote] You guys need to update your talking points. These stats are at least 20 years old. Fact is mcps has only gotten worse even as it gets more and more money. Mcps is losing kids and isnt growing because parents rather go private or home school. Roads are horrible. Nova has build tons of hov lanes on 495 and 95 and we've added nothing. Nova has built new metro stops up 267 and we cant get a freaking lite rail to work. The pot holes in our county are as big as the insurance increases we've had to endure from thefts and illegals causing accidents with no insurance These are scare tactics that worked 2 decades ago but no longer are true[/quote] Remember when Doug Duncan sold us smart growth and claimed it make the county flush with cash, jobs, and housing? They don’t use the term anymore but it’s basically what Planning still peddles even though the county can’t pay its bills, has negative private sector job growth, and has a housing crisis (in Planning’s own words).
