You’re welcome. I am mostly going in at length more for “the others”
A lot of times people will say “don’t live in the commie hell hole if Maryland. Almost everywhere in Md is less than an hour from any free state”. That’s mostly true except for the very center part of MD Around Meade and Annapolis.
But there are perks of living in the state. Most of the state has very good public schools (whether you believe they are indoctrinating your kids with liberal BS is a bit up to the temperament of the beholder), generally good roads, availability of a ton is cuisine you can’t find in most of the rest of the country (again, might not matter to you, but I love being able to drive less than 30 minutes and find great Indian food, Chinese, sushi, American, Texmex, English pub food, Ethiopian, Mexican, etc.), pretty safe neighborhoods (more situation certainly). Good higher education within a reasonable drive (awesome community college system). Good hospitals.
Taxes are high, but a lot of the state there are no locality taxes (mostly just county and state, no city/township in most of MD) and because of the property tax structure most people pay a fair portion, unlike places like PA that NEVER reevaluate a property until it is sold. Which means if is all of the new buyers who get hosed on high property taxes for pay for schools where as the guy who’s owned the property next door hasn’t had their property reevalutated in 30 years.
There are sure a few things I hate about the state like a lot of traffic and terrible gun laws.
Lazarus - If you don’t mind me asking, where’s the great Chinese food? We have had trouble finding something decent.
Thanks in advance!
