Just move to California. I am out in San Diego right now visiting and surfing. It is entirely reversed from East Coast living, and I don't think I really like it that much. This is the second time I have been here and it seems different from before. I can't wait to get back to VA and talk to some really nice and sincere people that actually show compassion towards you.
As a die hard Virginian, I will have to agree with you on that one. IMO, NOVA, downtown Richmond, and the Tidewater Region are the worst parts of the state. I lived in Va Beach for a year, and a half, and hated the whole time.
)Its because all the cities are independent of each other and don't give two sh!ts about what the others do. If they were smart, they would have made it one big metropolis and then the "Hampton Roads" area would be as big as say, New York or something. Well maybe not that big, but big enough to have a pro sports team. Instead of a big city by the beach that stretches 60 miles inland, you have 7 independent cities that form a booming suburbia wasteland. I am born and raised in that area and I would be happy to get out and live somewhere else. The city councils and mayors of each of Virginia Beach, Norfolk, P-Town, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Hampton and Newport News has jacked the whole Hampton Roads area up.
