Montgomery County is expensive and liberal, but very safe. It has nearly a million people and had only 15 murders in 2006, a typical year. I wonder how such false impressions get started.
Do away with forced busing from one end of the county to the other to ensure integrated schools
It has never had forced bussing (unlike Prince George's county) as it never had de jure segregation. It is a very integrated county, most of it happening by economics, as I found when I moved there in 1972. People of like income, despite race, got along well in neighborhoods they could afford.

What a contrast between Montgomery County, and DC or Baltimore City. I wonder if school kids are bussed in DC or are they forced to walk, and use sidewalks.

Is this the policy that is actually in force now?
