[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the last 15 years or so NOVA has been the engine of job growth in the area. So much that areas far flung from DC like Loundon county has had significant growth and with it great property appreciation. MD on the other end seems to stagnate even under a republican governor. I'm not sure its going to improve under Wes Moore. I'm a long term MD resident and don't mean to diss it. But my property value in the most sought after area in Howard County has just stagnated over the last 15 years. Do you see hope for MD or is the gap just going to get wider?
What about MD turns off businesses?[/quote]

LOL. You call Loudon car flung yet you live in Howard Co. I worked at the Census Bureau in Suitland, and many co-workers lived in Loudoun Co as well as WV and PA.

As far as RE, I agree with you. Maryland needs to bring in more businesses. [/quote]

Loudon is far out and so is Howard. I say this and I'm in Frederick also equally far out. I think Loudon has had much better appreciation than Howard or Frederick though we've had decent appreciation in Frederick, imo. 
Considering we're about an hour from DC and Baltimore, I'm not complaining. [/quote]

Huh? Loudoun is right next to Fairfax and Tyson’s, which is a MAJOR job port. Two metro stations just opened there which go directly to those job locations.

Howard? No offense but it’s for people who want to commute to Baltimore, not DC. It’s almost like another region. [/quote]
What Loudon has or Hoco does not have is not the question.  It's about why Loudon is always included in the "NoVa" comparison to MD but HoCo never is even though HoCo is just as far from DC as Loudon is. And also, OP was asking about HoCo. But for some reason (insecurity), NoVa folks *always* have to compare NoVa (all four counties) to MoCo, even though, once again, the thread is not about MoCo.

It's like people who are insecure and went to some name brand school, and they have to mention that every chance they get.  I think someone started a thread about how his wife name drops how she went to Harvard in every conversation. Only insecure people do that.  This is like some of these NoVa posters.[/quote]

Nobody is insecure. It is what it is. Loudoun (not Loudon, Jesus please learn to spell it, you look like a bozo) is a suburb of the Dulles Tech Corridor. Where an engineer or a programmer can easily pull in 200-300k. There is no need to commute and be dependent on DC.

Meanwhile, Howard county has no major job hubs around it. Hence, values are lower.

It’s not rocket science and nobody is insecure (except you…since you seem to keep bringing this up), it just is what it is. There’s a reason why Loudoun and Fairfax have the highest incomes in the nation. [/quote]
NoVa posters like you are definitely insecure.   Again, Loudon is just as far to DC as HoCo.

Why do you keep mentioning “loudon”? Nobody in this thread is bragging about “Loudoun”. Or comparing it to Howard County. Both counties are apples and oranges different.[/quote]

Howard is much nicer. Very gentle and wooded.[/quote]
