Lies. Violent offenders are locked up whenever possible in MoCo. This is just tired old trolling against MoCo.

Well DCs teens certainly think nothing ever happens to them, and I would not be surprised if DC teens end up being the perps in the recent rash of carjackings. The November attempted carjacking at the Safeway involved at least 1 DC teen, and the November incident that ended with the crash into a Metrobus also involved 2 DC teens.

Every reported carjacking in Montgomery County that I am aware of included statements like, “car last seen heading in direction of DC”, “vehicle was was caught by speed camera in SE DC two hours later”, “vehicle recovered in the Capital Heights neighborhood of DC”, etc.

They trained themselves throughout COVID in DC to perfect the craft and are now branching out to new territories like an enterprise with a successful business model.

I’m not quite sure what you are trying to say. DC criminals have a business model of carjacking in MoCo?

Of course they do.

You go where targets are the softest and consequences will be minimal, if caught. DC to MoCo is that best corridor for consequence free crime die to their progressive criminal justice reform.

The trend I have noticed is that some area PDs are a lot better at catching carjackers than others, which I think explains a lot about the geography of carjackings in the area. Police forces I saw in the news that caught carjackers this week: Secret Service, PGPD, FCPD (they balled out with a PIT maneuver on the highway) and even Howard U PD. Not a single Montgomery County carjacker was caught by MCPD and the only MPD arrests were in assisting these other police forces. So what do the criminals learn? Don’t carjack in VA. Better watch out in PG County because they will not stop pursuing. Be careful about where you do it in DC. You can always get away with it in MoCo.

Yes.

They need more of those gargantuan camera towers like the one in the median near society lounge. They also put one at the shell station in white oak where the cashier was murdered. Just blanket silver spring with them at this point.

Add that to the armed robbery of a USPS mail carrier in Silver Spring yesterday.

1) The county does have a housing shortage- both affordable and just in total housing period. We should do something about that.

2) People cant just live wherever they want, regardless of income, age, etc. Thats just life. "I make 40k a year, but I want to live in a brick rowhouse in georgetown". Well sorry, you (or anyone) is not just entitled to that because you'd like it. If you dont earn much, you may have to live farther out, or have a longer commute, or sacrifice on a few of your wants. God knows I did.

I don't think anybody is saying, "I should be able to live in whatever I want wherever I want."

But there's no reason why whole geographic areas should be off limits for people who aren't affluent. That's why it needs to be legal to have a mix of housing type. Maybe you can't afford to live in a free-standing house with a yard, but you can afford to live in an duplex, or in an apartment in a sixplex, or whatever.

There was someone earlier in this thread who was pretty much saying that.

Cite, please. I don't see anyone saying that.

This was the post I was thinking of

"Really? In downtown Silver Spring?

Or elsewhere, where you have to add to your housing costs either the monetary cost of owning and operating a car, or the time cost of getting around the county by bus or bike (plus the opportunity cost of being unable to get to certain parts of the county reasonably, or indeed at all)?


OK so yes- if you live farther out from a city center, you then have to commute to work/things. That's literally life. How many things should we have to subsidize?

It's called making choices. Live in a 600 sq foot shoebox and walk everywhere, or live farther out and drive. What is so hard about these trade offs?

Being unable to afford either option, yet needing a place to live.

There are lots of places that are cheaper to live than the close-in suburbs of Washington. Move, that’s how it works.

Where do you think the low-wage workers whose services you rely on should live?

Further out or with roommates! They could buy a house and rent out a basement apartment too. Don’t have kids you can’t afford.

You have no idea how or where people with low-wage jobs in Montgomery County live, do you.

Why is Montgomery County filled with so many white guys who act like they are temporarily embarrassed millionaires?

If you grew up UMC and now you’re broke you need to come terms with that.
