Yes, very unbiased.

LOL, don't take anything those two say seriously. They enjoy yanking each other's chains.
After you move here, you should consider going down to Richmond sometime to check it out. It's a cool place, there's lots to do there, and it's very pretty in places. (Which, BTW, is also how I feel about NOVA.)

Those pics aren't representative of the city/suburbs. You just found the worst pics you could find and posted them

Like I said ive been to the major tourist area's so anything you have seen that you mention, I have most likely seen. Its nothing personal, I just dont like the area. I dont like Nova either. I do like a majority of NC, GA, FL ( which allot of people dont). Im not a Richmonder sorry.

I wouldnt say 1% for Richmond city. A few blocks north of the Model Tobacco building there is massive abandonment. There are ten blocks between this point on Jefferson Davis Highway and it's intersection with Hull Street; that intersection is the largest in the south side of Richmond. On these ten blocks, nearly every building on this side of the road is abandoned, whether residential or commercial.
There are the North Ridge Apartments near Highland Park in North Richmond. Its a 114 unit apartment complex that has been closed.
Those are just some examples
There are nice parts of Richmond, but im not exaggerating.
