I'm a native Virginian and I back in.
I don't get the hate.

People who pull into spaces are generally terrible drivers - which is why the avoid backing into spaces. Spaces are much smaller than the travel lanes, so it’s easier for their sub-par driving skills to back out into the much-bigger travel lane than for them to have backed into the smaller space to begin with.
Actually there is one thing more annoying, waiting for the backerinner to back in. I actually don’t care if you back in or not but people who back in are usually slower than those backing out.

Why is Costco any different? It's so busy I don't want to be backing out of a spot there.
You need easy access to your trunk to load up all your Costco purchases. If you back in, your trunk hatch door will be difficult to load if it's really close up to another car, or backed up to grass.

The fact is that backing into a parking space so that you can pull forward when leaving is actually safer and can help reduce your risks of injuries to yourself and others. The American Automobile Association (AAA) recommends all drivers back into parking spaces whenever possible.
Yup, this. I’m have good spatial awareness and it doesn’t add much time for me to back in. Regardless, I don’t mind wait a few minutes for someone to back in if it reduces injuries.
It doesn’t take a few minutes to back in.
It’s like an extra 5 seconds to park and saves time when you’re pulling out.
People who can’t wait 5 seconds for me to park can kiss my a$$.

Fire and police are required to back in.
Back up cameras were mandated on new vehicles during the Obama administration because statistics showed pedestrians were getting hurt when people were backing out of spaces. As opposed to mandating parking be built better and forced backing in the administration required new car manufacturers to install cameras.
Complete and utter lies and BS.
Drivers who back into spaces do so because they’re too dumb to back up out of a space. So they back in instead. They do it because they’re sh*tty drivers it has nothing to do with safety. Think about it.
I have to say as a person with a small car often parked next to a huge car it is more difficult to back out.
I like it when I can pull forward into a spot and get the benefit of pulling out without having to back in.
