ASK RESIDENTS of Prince George’s County to describe the ways in which the big, majority-African American jurisdiction gets the short end of the regional stick, and prepare for the floodgates to open.

Among the grievances: A quarter of the federal government’s workforce lives in Prince George’s, which brackets the District to the east, yet all but a few of them face long, daily commutes since the feds rarely lease office space there. Private-sector employers also tend to locate their businesses elsewhere, meaning that three in five Prince Georgians must leave the county to go to work, the highest percentage in the region. By and large, upscale retailers have also shunned the county.
