I have to credit the MoCo Council for being so bold. They realized that the fastest way to reduce emissions to zero was to stop all economic activity and they are well on their way to doing that. Incredible leadership.

Additionally, the emphasis on Vision Zero (pedestrians), which is good, does not also take driving into account. The majority of people drive. Not take public transit. And traffic is horrific, with no relief in sight

As traffic gets worse, and schools decline, no one is moving their HQ, or fortune 100, 200, 500, or even 1000 company to MoCo. But hey, condos, with retail and restaurants on the bottom, we've got lots of that

Schools is the number one issue but somehow MoCo folks convince themselves by SPENDING more automatically makes them better. Most of it is poor corporate culture in MCPS, particularly to IEP kids. When you confront them on it they say two things - I’m not paid enough. Blair Magnet is a sign we are amazing. You are paid fine. Blair Magnet kids would do well in ANY school.
