[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Bethesda and have lived in Arlington, DC and back to Bethesda. You could not pay me to move back to VA, regardless of the tax benefit. [b]Weird vibe[/b]. It's like they all try to prove something and many are transplants. Many of my neighbors work in Tysons, McLean or Arlington and still decide to live in Bethesda..myself included.

There are nice benefits - great trails, parks, etc but for whatever reason, it just feels stale and transitory compared to Bethesda. [/quote]
seems to be new money strivers vs old wealth [/quote]

The "weird vibe" was the fact that the purpling of the state was an illusion. Youngkin represents what NoVa is really about. The region is filled with transplants who intentionally chose to live on the side that was more aligned with the right, though they claim it is for taxes, commute, schools, or some other region.

The recent new anti LGBTQ policies for schools should be a loud and clear signal what choosing Virginia means. [/quote]

Every time I speak with someone who lives in Virginia they always mention their low income tax and tries to tell me I am dumb for living in MD. Moving to VA would have saved me over 25k in income taxes last year. I would gladly pay 25k a year to never live in VA again. It's like they try and "sell" NoVA. Bizarre [/quote]

EVERY TIME you speak with someone who lives in Virginia they ALWAYS mention their low income tax? and then they try to tell you you're dumb?  You must have some really lame dinner parties, PP.  The only place these conversations are happening are inside your dreams.  [/quote]

I work in the investment world and it happens weekly..[/quote]
This topic comes up in this forum A LOT, usually by a VA booster.[/quote]
