I think was meant to troll but it’s a pretty accurate characterization of the county’s planning and economic growth strategies.

I was actually not trolling. My job is right off of Chinatown station. I don’t need heavy industry or Amazon in my neighborhood. Cities are for commerce, not to gather or have fun

Prove me wrong. I’ll wait.

How do you prove an idiot is wrong in their belief that they’re not an idiot?

I think you’ll win a Nobel Prize if you figure that one out!

Prove you wrong on your assertion that cities are not for gathering or having fun? lol

Right. Those are byproducts of cities being for commerce. Not the other way around

Then you must not want more housing either because investors prefer markets with job growth.

Better than deep red morons.

Blue states financially hold up red states.

Blue states want freedom for all women.

Blue states do not do school vouchers BS

Blue States do not have RW Christians trying to shove their BS religions on the rest of us.

Move if you don't like it.

LOL. Maryland is HUGE taker state. It survives only on Federal money, dumbass.

Maryland may be a take state, but that is only because of its proximity to DC. The real takes states are the deep red ones that have been subsized through the Federal govt for decades and decades. In my view, the North lost the War, because we have been paying the bills forever.

Red State "takers" -
High black populations on government welfare
Older populations, so more Social Security
Military bases protecting your ability to be prosperous without sending your kids to the military
Farm subsidies for corporations - not exactly red state voters

Which of these make you superior?

They're referring to the fact that MD relies a ton on govt jobs, and grants going to all sorts of 'community activist' orgs that employ people. If the govt divested away from the DMV MD, and especially MoCo, would be absolutely T boned.

If pigs had wings, they'd be pigeons.

Why don’t they use that money to increase salaries for police officers and teachers? Having safer communities and better schools helps everyone!

this is true, but NoVa also relies heavily on govt contracts.

+1. About 25% of people in Arlington have government jobs, which doesn't even include government contractors.

This is an absurd hypothetical. Maryland evolved the way it did due to its proximity to the government. If not, it would rely on some other industry. You can’t assume no other industry would substitute Maryland’s workforce
