Burnt out - 2/9/2008
Born and raised in this metropolitan area and I'm feeling quite burnt out. Fortunately, we are a military family and are 10 minutes from Andrews AFB. There's always things to do for our five year old and it's really safe. I am contemplating relocating to Charlotte. Great schools that provide special education services are our top priority. I read a posting of a parent who is struggling to get services for her child who has a form of autism. This is concerning to me. Any help would be

Retired and over-taxed - 1/19/2008
Maryland is a beautiful state, I've lived here for over 45 years, and there was a time when I was employed I could afford to live here. However, since retiring, I've seen my monthly income slowly eaten away due to a constant increase in taxes. Just about everything you can imagine is taxed here....including flushing the toilet...it's called a flush tax. I assume the governor and legislature will next figue out a way to tax the air we breathe. As an aside, crime is on the increase and there's few means of protecting oneself due to Maryland's gun law....pay your money and someone else decides whether or not you are in enough danger to receive a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Therefore I'll be looking elsewhere to live as taxes and crime are running me out of

Relocation - 1/2/2008
I've lived in Baltimore, Maryland all my life, and tne housing industry has just gone out of control and the economy "sucks" but thats not the reason for joining the website. My husband and I have decided to sell our 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath townhouse, and move to Georgia in the next two years, reason for that is the housing market in Georgia is reasonable, and I have family there. Plus you get a lot more house for the buck. I am hopeful that this website will be a great help in our search for our next new home.

Our new govenor called a special session and pushed through many new taxes. 20% on sales tax (from .05 to .06 cents)and added many services that have never been taxed before. Maryland has also become a sanctuary for illegals. Illegals can get drivers licence and register to vote at the same time and no one can ask for proof of

POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT IN MARYLAND - 11/2/2007
Maryland is a super liberal State, with amazingly backward looking attitudes toward industry and government. The current Governor is a recently elected Democrat who defeated a the first Republican Govenor in ages. The State is now busy (Actively Busy) raising taxes on a variety of businesses, processes and individuals guaranteed to drive economic progress into nearby States. Almost everything in Maryland costs more than it does in surrounding areas.
Socially, Maryland is virtually a haven for illegal immigrants. Counties and towns actively protect the rights and privledges of illegals over the legal citizens of the State. Gang membership is growing, and middle class and some wealthy neighborhoods are being overtaken by a change in culture and language.
I recommend, with emphasis, not becoming a citizen or business within the borders of

I have lived here for over 7 years, and the cost of living keeps on getting higher. As a single mother, I struggle every day to make ends meet. The rent on apartments in the DC metro area are outrageous! Utilities, food and other items necessary to live are way too expensive in this
