Those poor slobs movng here - I feel sorry for them.
I agree! I'm from NY state and like people there way better than here, plus I think Virginia drivers are horrible. I came for a job (of course) over 20 years ago and just kind of got stuck. I guess you could say I've been assimilated.

Resistance is futile.

I am glad that the forum has resulted in a plethora of different topics and sub-topics offshooting the original post. And no, there is no sarcasm in that. What I will say is that the way this influx of people flocking to the area seems entirely unnatural is what bothers me. Even my commute this morning and tonight was fraught with thousands of out of state plates commuting to and fro work. It's almost as much as Virginia plates on the roads. I'd say about 4-5 out of every 10 cars are from out of staters. Do me a favor everyone, on your commute tomorrow check it out and look at as many plates as you can.

I cant think of anything negative to post

Here's someone that posted on here earlier too that stereotypically generalized about all NoVa people, back in 2009.

And ANOTHER , even jucier - NoVA = bad attitude

Wondering where I am seeing these? In the "similar threads" below this thread. I don't come here much but I found this goldmine of exactly what I am referring to. I guess what I am saying is these are the type of people that I think negatively about who come here and complain about everyone/everything about the area. But this should not be about one particular state, but rather my post is directed towards the unnatural influx of people these past few months and how I am feeling a bit negative towards the situation for a variety of reasons, one reason is embodied in those 2 links.

I just think all you whiners will never ever be happy in life ... ... anywhere you go! Life is what you make of it and happiness is whatever you define it to be!

Have a good life cribbing away!
