[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maryland has a $2 billion budget deficit. VA has a $2 billion surplus. MD has been going downhill economically for a while. NoVA has been booming the past 10 years. Be careful which horse you choose to hitch yourself to. [b]There are a lot more places to go in VA when you live in McLean. Every place you go in MD will not be as nice as Bethesd[/b]a. [/quote]
There are lots more nicer places in MD than  VA.[/quote]

Old Town
Del Ray
Vienna 
Falls Church 
Arlington
Mosaic

Rockville 
Takoma Park
Kensington
Garrett Park
Pike and Rose
Potomac
What else?

There is nothing in Maryland as charming as Del Ray and Old Town and no suburb in Maryland has as much to do and is as walkable as Arlington. Sorry, but it’s true. [/quote]
There's nothing charming about Old Town and Del Ray? LOL
Takoma Park, kentlands are way charming than anything in NoVa, which is a concrete jungle and no charm or character. Sorry,  but it's true. [/quote]

Kentlands? Charming? Lol[/quote]
I am pretty sure you've never been to Kentlands.
You probably could not pinpoint it on a map[/quote]

You mean the  fabricated village with houses that all look the same and zero character? Sorry you couldn't afford to be somewhere nicer with a better school district [/quote]
Bro, most of the housing stock in the DMV is straight from the Sears Robuck catalog. Sit down[/quote]

Do you realize that most of Bethesda and Arlington were built at the same time for post WW2 vets? Neither was desirable. [/quote]

That is not the case now, so what’s your point? [/quote]

I e lived in both. They are very similar but Arlignton is much bigger so it has more poor people you just push them up 270 and East. [/quote]

The discussion about Arlington in this thread has focused on North.  Arlington pushes all of its poor people into South. South Arlington is more akin to Silver Spring than it is to North Arlington.[/quote]

That statement doesn’t speak to the full picture of south arlington. Below are links to homes currently listed in the poorest zip codes in Arlington that happens to be in the South part of the county. As you can see, I wouldn’t categorize South Arlington as ‘poor.’ It’s poor compared to North Arlington. A single family home starts at 1M and needs work, how is that poor area? I remember when people used to make fun of Pimmit Hills just a few short years ago, look at it now. All of Arlington is rather expensive even the most ugliest parts.
