Stand in the place where you live

According to this Washington Post article, if the town I lived in were an incorporated city rather than a living example of suburban sprawl in its worse incarnation, it would be the second largest city in Maryland. Weird. Ideally, I could support a tax that would provide public services and promote some kind of sense of community, but Germantown is such a mish-mash of neighborhoods, subdivisions within subdivisions, and big box monstrosities that I don’t think that a separate tax would do anything. We had a stronger sense of community in the neighborhood I grew up in – hell I don’t know any of my neighbors by name save one. Stupid Maryland.
