Cant take these type of rankings seriously. Impossible to gauge the quality of the work that went into it. Also they are basically without any instructive value for people.

These lists are always interesting but tend to look the same and it often times confirms what we already know.

Number 35 on infrastructure though, which is one of the things I hate about living here. Number 25 on economy.

Only things keeping Virginia in the Black are education, opportunity, fiscal stability and crime.

Which we could have already told you! Been telling people on C-D about those things for a while now, until we're blue in the face.

But Virginia is far from perfect. Infrastructure, night and day between Northern Virginia and the rest of the state. Like get rid of the potholes in Norfolk already it's embarrassing. And give us bus rapid transit since the train to nowhere is a project going nowhere.

Where are the jobs if you have like an associates degree in this place? And why do we have two or three people in an apartment like it's New York?

If you believe these lists my home state is like number 7 in opportunity and I know that is a lie. Ohio has more opportunity than Virginia? yeah, okay, whatever. Maybe depending on what type of business you're going to start there but not for anyone punching a clock.
