What's with all the No Va bashing on this forum? Quite honestly if you don't like low unemployment, lower crime, lower taxes and better schools then stay the heck out of No. VA. For those of you that say No. VA is more conservative - clearly you have no clue. Northern Va turned blue years ago. It's as ethnically diverse as DC or MD without the social issues you find North of the Potomac (NoPo). I would chose SoPo any day.
