I live up the river in Montgomery County, Maryland. It’s a really nice place to live, but we have high property taxes and high income taxes, and are run by Democrats. According to conservative doctrine, people should be fleeing. Instead, people are flocking to it. It’s both one of the best-educated and most diverse places to live in all of the US-- with wide diversity in race, religion, country of origin, and income. My son says the variety of choices for international food are far wider here than in Boston. It’s far from perfect, but I feel blessed to be able to live here. Conservative doctrine looks at everything from the wrong end of the telescope.
