It is one small pocket of the universe, and highly skewed to the right.

Lol. Gee, glad you...umm...figured it all out for everyone else.

My liberal in-laws tell me they moved here for jobs and won’t go back north due to no jobs and high taxes. Why are there no good jobs in Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders territory?

Why are there no good jobs in the solid red deep south?

Because there are a lot of poor minorities there who vote Dem. There are actually good jobs for those willing to work.

Willing to work down in the deep-red south? No thanks!

There’s a reason the DMV attracts newcomers. These reasons include good jobs, diversity, great schools, etc. If the Deep South is so great, why don’t YOU move there??

DMV is propped up by the federal government period. Without the federal government DC would be like Baltimore. That's a fact.

You mean with no fed govt DC would have gotten major industry in the first half of the 20th century? You do know Baltimore is so hard hit, because (like some midwest cities) it was a huge industrial city.

Anyway, not sure what your point is. Va has done well even as it has become more blue. The most prosperous areas (increasingly reliant on the private sector) are the bluest. Va will not turn into Calif or NY. Calif and NY are economically succesful.

As NOVA has become more blue, I have seen massive increases in beggars, homeless, and illegal aliens. Areas that were nice 20 years ago, you can’t really go to anymore because MS-13 had made it much more dangerous. Schools that were really good have gone downhill, to the point where now the school board has to change boundaries to redistribute the poverty they allowed. Taxes for businesses and residents will now increase, and we will begin to see a reversal of the economic prosperity that brought businesses to Virginia over Maryland. The amount of MD tags I see in my area compared to 10 years ago has increased dramatically - and I’m in Western FFX county.

The bolded means there are more jobs in VA than MD and people are communting. That is a good thing for Fairfax and Virginia.

Why would the companies be flocking to Fairfax County and surrounds instead of setting up shop in Maryland?

1. I know of no places in NoVa I would not go out off fear of crime. Not one.

2. Schools are still good. Some have more poor people. Some (in parts of Alexandria and Arlingoton have fewer). Total number of poor in Arlington has decreased - increased in outer suburbs as the housing stock ages.

3. Md tags in your area is due to so many jobs, during the period you claim there was decline.
