You wrote "European", not "European descent". They are not the same.

Bigotry confirmed.

They are.... European, European descended, European American.... All the same. I've explained this ad nauseam. Well call American born Asians, Asian .... We call American born Indians, Indian .... We call American born Mexicans, Mexican .... We call call American born Samoans, Samoan .... There's nothing wrong with referring to American born Europeans as, European..... There's no county or geographical location named "White", so it shouldn't be an official race or ethnicity.

To put it another way, if my job were not located here, there'd be no real reason for me to ever visit NoVa. The major export of NoVa is probably housing and federal jobs.

However, I relocated here, maybe someone who's actually from here may have something more positive on why they would live in NoVa (with the exception of having family in the area).

Your first sentence is REMARKABLY ignorant. If you're going for sarcasm it falls incredibly flat and fractured.
Have you ever BEEN to the middle of Nebraska?

Nope, no sarcasm intended, just the honesty of my own opinion.

You should get outside of Loudoun County. Yeah, Loudoun is boring, so why don't you explore. Loudoun is barely even considered part of NOVA. Almost like saying NOVA sucks because Warrenton or Fredericksburg is boring.

As a military brat, I know that every area has its pros and cons. Usually I hear from people who haven't really traveled a lot that the grass has to be greener on the other side. Weather is god awful here because I hate hot weather but I deal with it. On the other hand, I've made some great friends here and I love the bike trails/walkability of a lot of the area (including some of the suburbs which you don't find in a lot of other areas).

Loudoun is boring? In what sense? Or are you just thinking of Ashburn when you think of Loudoun County?

I'm thinking in terms of the restaurant/bar/nightlife scene for younger people. It's mostly centered around families.

Hence why I voted for "No, I want to get out of here".

To Loudoun's credit, there are a few things that garner my attention every now and then, but I haven't come across anything that is absolutely unique to Loudoun county compared to all the other places I've lived. Things that I would sorely miss if I were to leave.

My search continues....
