Montgomery county isn’t just blue. They are all insane. Do everything possible to not even drive there let alone live there.
Almost everyone there works for the government and they hate citizens and freedom.
If she’s only commuting three days a week, move to Harford County and take the train.
Aberdeen is good. That’s where I live. Perryman is also a decent place. Joppa and some other areas are closer yet decent.
I and no shortage of fam have been there and live there of date.
Best to totally avoid if possible.
