I didn't but I also didn't circle back and say something like the below.

None the less, you asked how Richmond was tied to the NE and I provided one example. To me Richmond, VA is still Southern but I see how some folks tie it to the North.
And I disagreed with the maps attempt to align the area with the NEC. It's my opinion that it isn't, and I expressed it by my post. That map is overused here, and it's basically a prediction of future growth patterns. It's not a snapshot of the present by any means.

Why don't you think Richmond is aligned with the North? Also, even if it were aligned more with the south, what difference would that make? Does it matter at all what the actual residents feel connected to? I've seen you become irritated by people stating that Richmond may be Northern leaning or Mid Atlantic on multiple threads but I'm not sure I've ever seen you explain why they are wrong. I'm not from Richmond or VA for that matter but I do find it all interesting.
Edit: There was a poster on here that did an excellent job detailing connections that Richmond has with points further north, with links to support as well. If I can locate it I will post. Very interesting stuff.

I don't doubt that it's aligned with the North. But it is not a part of the NEC, as so many here believe it to be.
Throwing up the mega region map doesn't mean much at all.
So you got an answer to your question then randomly said that the map doesn't mean much. Could you elaborate what would mean more then? Maybe that will help with your confusion.
In 2007, James B. Holt, Ph.D., published an article titled “The Changing Topography of Poverty in the United States.” In the article, Dr. Holt delineated a “continental poverty divide” in the United States. To conduct the spatial analysis and create the map, Dr. Holt utilized county-level data from a 1999 research project titled the “Community Health Status Indicators Project.” The cartographic analysis, which may be viewed by visiting the URL captioned below, clearly demonstrates the high concentration of impoverished counties in the southern half of the country. Based on my review of the map, it appears that Richmond, VA and surrounding counties are located north of the continental poverty divide.
