News flash: they are both terrible. You both live in deteriorating areas that peaked years ago. If you have to live in this area and you have the means, you live in either Bethesda / Chevy Chase / Potomac, or Arlington / McLean / Great Falls so you can be insulated from the deterioration and pretend that what is happening isn’t actually happening because you don’t have to see it when you are driving to the grocery store.

And before anyone chimes in to say “but red states are historically poor and never built industry” — yes that’s been true for the past 100 years when America had vastly different demographics and a vastly different economy. It is clear that right now, capital is moving to places like Florida and Tennessee and Texas. We’ll see what the decades to come look like.

They come from Virginia. I was in Virginia this past weekend, and saw this multiple times. Virginia plates every time.

Take a drive on 495 and let me know which side of the American Legion Bridge has more trash, dilapidated infrastructure, and graffiti on the sound barriers. Be honest with yourself. You drive across the bridge to Maryland and you’re immediately greeted with graffiti on the sound barriers, twisted and rusted out guardrails, trees and shrubs that haven’t been trimmed in years that are more often than not blocking highway signs, and trash on the side of the roadway. The difference is striking.

I said you picked the wrong location to ask for money. Everybody coming out this door has spent all their money. You need to hang out at a bank. I notice next door is a liquor store so maybe that's why he's here. He look like he been drinking all day and resting up against the glass wall. I didn't give him anything. But going back to what everyone is saying, drunks, drug addicts, and worthless bums are all over the place in Montgomery County. The county has turned into a dump.

I too see a lot of mentally challenged people hanging out at a Aspen Hill coffee shop I go to in the morning. A fat lady dancing out front asking for money she's high on something. You go inside and at the door another person looks like their on drugs sticks his hand out asked for spare change. I get my coffee and sit down check my emails and another person approaches me for money. I thought this was a relatively middle class neighborhood. So I avoided this place.

That's not crime though. None of that is illegal. It's a quality of life issue.
