I'm asking this question because I live in Fort Washington and I was surprised to see so many post saying the only place to live in PG is Bowie etc. So I just wanted to hear some opnions on the subject.

Actually, there have been many who have said that Fort Washington is a nice area to live. It has some areas that don't "look" too safe, the northern parts I believe. But it's been included as a nice place in PGC.

How and why? Can you back up your statement?

PG is a large county, so, it is not surprising that it's mixed, financially as well as its criminal activity.

Why don't you read up on some "history" about DC and PGC yourself:

Black Middle Class

And while you're at it...check out what Wall Street thinks about PGC:

AAA Rating

Please stop your incessant negative remarks. Make like a tree, and leave. Your hatred and racism are uncalled for, offensive and hurtful.

It's sad that there are so many people obsessed about bad mouthing a county they don't live in and never visit. I live in Fort Washington and when and I enjoy living here. But, Fort Washington covers a lot of ground.

Find one post I have ever posted that is racist?Find it,you can't but that won't stop someone like yourself from throwing it out there when you have no facts to back up your case.

Use this link and just pull up Ft Washington from Jan 1 to July of this year.

The old Fort Washington is not bad. I know several people who live there and I visit them pretty often. Tantallon, especially is not bad. The thing is, a lot of areas that previously were in Oxon Hill now have Fort Washington zipcodes. Indian Head Highway kind of splits the good part from the bad part. An increase in crime from the Harbor is only speculation at this point. Anyway, the Harbor is set too far away from Fort Washington's residential area to be affected by any "speculated" increase in crime.

If you use the link provided you'll see it's not speculation.

I looked at your links before I posted. They don't support any increase in crime in the harbor.
