As another Arlington resident, I do not 1. think MoCo is going “into the shitter” and 2. Enjoy watching the relative decline of MoCo.
MoCo is still highly desirable place to live with beautiful neighborhoods, best schools on average in the DC area and lots of high quality research jobs, educated and diverse residents. They do tend to shun economic development, which is unfortunate for the non-law firm partners, lobbyists etc living in Bethesda and Potomac.
Also, if you enjoy watching an almost carbon copy MD version of the Nova side you must have poor long term vision. The policies on this side of the river resemble MoCo’s more and more every year. Amazon was good marketing and lucking out on having the behemoth called Crystal City sotting isle so close to DC. A strong MoCo is better for Nova too since MD and Nova have some of the largest cross border in the mid-Atlantic. If they go down our taxes go up.
