[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Richmond and still have family and many friends there.

Pros: you can buy a nice, big house for much cheaper. Schools are decent (though many of my friends choose private, and I went to private as well)
There are liberals there, in parts. Not everyone is racist.

Cons: it is a big enough town that many people move back after college. Don't underestimate how hard it is to "break in" there. It's not like DC where so many are from other hometowns. People grow up there and have deep roots. A lot of my childhood friends pal around together and there is not a lot of interaction with people who didn't grow up there.

Also, a lot of my well-educated friends did vote for Trump, which is crazy to me. There are liberal pockets as I said above, but there are definitely a lot more conservatives there than in the DC area.

Traffic - better in Richmond, but I'm always frustrated by things like parking etc. There are fewer walkable places in Richmond and no public transport options (for most people) so it is a heavy car town. [/quote]
