Maryland: what to expect when nobody flushes the t - 3/1/2013
Liberal beyond all reality, corrupt and MD elected officials' favorite past time is laying awake at night ... figuring ways to spend YOUR money on others who refuse to work. Its just DC but, with one of the stars on the US Flag.

cost of living - 9/3/2012
It is very expensive to live here although it is a fun place to live. There is a lot of traffic and regulations for everything. I think I would like a little more open space and room for my dogs to run off leash. They both have AKC obedience titles and listen well. I live in a community about 7 miles from downtown Annapolis so there is lots to do. This is a destination place to live for sure but you really pay the price for living here. High taxes and this is a one party state so its like living in a dictatorship with no say in our government.

IMHO - 8/24/2012
Like with everything else, whether you will enjoy the political environment of Maryland is highly dependant on your own political views. Maryland overall is very liberal. Generally is batched with DC and Ma.. That said, the southern counties of St Mary's, Charles, and Calvert are somewhat more conservative. Due to the population distribution of the state which determines local representation in the state government, three localities controls what passes and what doesn't. Those are Baltimore, Montgomery, and Prince George. I view the state as a Tax and Spend state which also enjoys passing legislation to control behaviours. This can be seen on the alcohol and cigarette taxes, no smoking laws, no using cell phone while driving laws, etc.

MD is not the place we want to retire - 6/9/2012
We have lived in MD for more than 21 years. It has been a reasonable place to live and work during these years but going forward we realize it time to move. Our kids could not afford to buy homes in our communities and have moved to lower cost areas with better job opportunities, so despite having lots of friends still in the area, our roots are being pulled out of the area. In addition, the political and economic climate in MD are a serious concern. The liberal Democratic politicians are leading the state in a direction we disagree with. The dependence of the economy on federal government is viewed by many as a strength but that has its limits and downsides long term. It's time to get off this bus and get on another going where we want to be. Our focus now is finding a new

Vacation elsewhere in August - 2/24/2012
Summers in Maryland are uncomfortably warm and humid. It is estimated that over 800,000 residents if the greater DC area go on vacation during the month of August to escape the unbearable heat and humidity. It is very uncomfortable and we often stay indoors to avoid the

Maryland - The Free Spending State - 12/22/2011
If I knew before I moved to the DC metropolitan area what I know now, I would have never moved to Maryland, especially Montgomery County. It is corrupt and mismanaged. The overall tax burden is high, and you get poor service and infrastructure in
