We got ‘em here in York County Pa, they come up here to an agricultural area to avoid taxes and crime but bring their urban liberal tax-a-plenty attitudes and crime kids with them.

M-land can keep them.

Maryland is 30% black, 4% “undocumented” alien — it will not elect a conservative Republican any time soon.

I know a nurse who came here from England because of the low pay and low status nurses receive. Now he works as a nurse here in the U.S. and he’s for obamacare. Nothing makes sense when you’re dealing with a liberal.

A defining characteristic of a Leftist is that he has this dream where he can vote for it to rain skittles, and has no interest in thinking through the consequences and side-effects.

So is Fairfax, but you have to have a solid 6 figure income to afford a decent single family home.

Relatives are looking to buy in the area. $500,000 gets you a 3 BR home, maybe 50-60 years old, decent condition, not always with a basement, maybe a one car garage, on a 1/4 acre lot.

Even during the housing collapse, homes there held their value fairly well compared to the rest of the country.

Tennessee is seeing our share of American ‘foreigners’ too due to all the new corporations bringing jobs here (Amazon, Wacker, Volkswagon, etc.). I see tags from all over and told my husband the other day that I hope they don’t bring their junk politics with them.

It says alot about the current economic unpleasantness that DC (where the federal government lives) is the one place in the country where the housing market is untouched

“Northern Va. is a lost cause.”

Maybe so. If you’re honest about Virginia, you realize that Virginia has benefited, fiscally, from it’s proximity to DC. Northern VA, particularly so.

With coming DoD and Federal government cutbacks (they are coming, as hopeless as it seems now) you will have a sea-change in Northern VA.

The exodus is likely to reverse itself, for a brief time, with Maryland as former gov’t folks seek free stuff and bennies.

Maybe, just maybe N. Va will be able to be rehabilitated, at least a little bit.

Man, this blows. I’m a few months out from moving to Maryland (PCS to Fort Meade). I’m in NY now, and it looks like I’m just bouncing from one People’s Republic to another.

The sea-change begins when Moran loses his job. If jobs are the issue, the exodus may not reverse. I grew up in Maryland and throughout all my job-hunting years, the jobs I always wanted were in Virginia. After awhile, the commutes weren’t worth it.

The DC area is recession-proof. That’s why the politicians and most residents continue to vote for spending and spenders. They don’t see what’s going on in the rest of the country.

Haven’t you always heard liberals excuse communism by saying, “they (e.g., Russia, Cuba, Korea, China, etc) just didn’t do it right”.

I think that’s what it is. They look for a conservative place that is truthfully more palatable than their liberal hole, then proceed to “do it right”.

OK, as long as they leave their liberal BS on the other side of the state line.
