I mostly agree with you. Regardless of how much crime has gone down though the 96 people that were killed last year is simply unacceptable. I don't expect the rate of violence that has happened this year to continue, but I'm think residents should want more than just a decline in violence. There needs to be a stronger push to slow violence down as much as possible and that means stop patting the police officers on the back for doing mediocre work. They have their work cut out for them.

Yeah, murders in Montgomery are up. They're a bit more than 1/3 of those in Prince George's, 30 to 81.

Why is that?
I've heard that there is more gang activity. MS-13 I believe.

Not exactly. Unless you can prove this, which you can't, this is not the case. There isn't a ONE WAY migration from DC to PG. Montgomery does not have border patrol Neither does Fairfax, Alexandria, and Prince William Counties. In addition, haven't you noticed that there are people from outside of the region moving to the DC area? How do you think the DC are started growing? Pod people?

However, PG is the only "affordable" county left in the immediate metro vicinity. I've actually come into contact with a lot of newer PG residents who say that they were pushed out of DC due to rising rents/taxes. It is definitely a combination of people with means from around the country moving into DC and the former DC residents moving to PG.
