Giving Businesses more "zoning leeway" could backfire as well.
There’s a lot of black people in MoCo, especially in Silver Spring and Burtonsville.
The class distinctions between Black people aren't as rigid as they are with white people.
We occupy a lot of the same spaces, have mixed class families (even mixed class siblings), and often have extended families where we take in relatives' kids on some Fresh Prince shyt.
Lot of people with different sets of values in the same spaces. Something has to give. And sometimes the regular kids think they have to conform to bad values to fit in.
Ab/ invalid told a story once about college kids from the Martha's Vineyard set. They pledged a frat at a well known HBCU. They got the bright idea to bring their frat brothers to MV and have a spring break/booty fest event.. They didn't respect the space they occupied and wanted to degrade it with stupid shyt.
Eye opening story. College educated early 20s adults doing it made me understand how pre-teen and teens in high income areas must be even more susceptible to this thinking.
Gaithersburg/Germantown were always just too far away for me. Prefer Bethesda and Silver Spring if I’m in that MoCo axis.Gaithersburg and Rockville are literally in the top 5 cities in the country for diversity in the country. Try again.

Not all of PG County is ghetto. There’s some affluent and middle class areas within the county with little to no crime.That's why you won't catch me in PG. shyt has turned into SE 2.0
After they left that dead body in Jaspers and people were okay with them not shutting down I knew what was up...actually I knew before then but that sealed the deal.
