Because I would never move to a state that doesn't treat my friends or family as equals (see PP).[b] I actually think a bit less of people who live in VA. [/b][/quote]

I live in DC and don't desire suburban living of any variety, but I have heard this before, in bold, and I think it is weird. I know a lot of progressive people in NoVa. There are a lot of good reasons to live there, not just the schools, which are generally very good. Look at the Obama vote count, by county, for both of his elections. Arlington isn't even purple - it's blue.

Of course PPs are correct to say Arlington is bound by Richmond's laws and I've spoken with gay people who refuse to live there for very practical reasons, like, a desire to receive survivor's pension !   But given how messed up DC can be on schools and other issues, and given the relatively poor commute from many parts of MoCo, I definitely understand why people would move to NoVa, and I don't think anything less of them.
