You are peddling bad information. Anyone who buys groceries in MD can attest to the sales tax on their grocery bills.

I typically had matters pop up at the last moment requiring me to stay late periodically and would have been stuck in DC if I was dependent on the MARC. Because of this, I rarely met people who lived in Howard County or depended on the MARC in my group.
Keyword: ".....in my group." The Laurel MARC station...in Howard County......is chock full of people commuting into DC every single day. Not to mention the several other Howard County MARC stations full of people heading into DC. While work/train hours might be an issue beyond 7:30pm, there is no issue at all with living in Howard County and commuting via rail into DC. Most people don't work past 7:30pm anyway.

Regarding crime - friends of mine who live along 66 in Fairfax had both their house and their rented townhouse broken into and robbed. The police told them that homes along 66 get robbed at rush hour bc theivee hop off 66, make a quick stop at a home, then get right back on 66. They kill time sitting in traffic and they know odds are, the owner of the house will be in traffic, too.
No problem like that here in Howard bc we don't have anything like 66.

You can't compare Maryland and Virginia. One state is run by people who fight to bring jobs and economic development to their state, The other is run by people who don't believe in economic development at all, and is clearly closed for business!

Yep, nobody is flocking to a certain state for work.
