[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved here a couple years ago and live in the west end near university of Richmond. We are liberal academic types and have found plenty of political diversity. I think the suburbs have more Republicans who voted for Youngkin but not Trump than where we lived before but it doesn’t feel Southern to me. The city is definitely liberal diverse and artsy. Parts of Chesterfield are really nice (Bon Air is cute) and part of north side are lovely though we chose Henrico county over the city.  [b]There are also more southern republican rural feeling  tareas about 30 minutes away. Like where we drop of dog off for boarding  but it’s not like you’re gonna see a ton of dudes  with shotguns and confederate flags (haven’t seen any in fact ) [/b]

There are a lot of pros: much much easier to live in a day to day basis (traffic parking ); we have a large house (with a pool!) in a safe tree lined neighborhood and Richmond has enough good restaurants etc to not feel small town though it’s definitely not cosmopolitan either. The Vmfa is great; symphony ballet etc all good. All that being said we have found it hard to make a lot of friends. We are not part of a church and did not grow up here. K but kids are happy and we don’t want to relocate them. Might move back to dc in a condo when we retire. [/quote]

Any place that's safe for our dogs is good enough for me![/quote]
