It’s all a matter of what someone likes and what they’re looking for. The South isn’t necessarily everyone’s cup of tea. Just like you didn’t care for DC, everyone likes different places for myriad of reasons.

Ah, that's not true. Everyone should have the exact same opinion as lionsgators. If you don't, you are just plain wrong (and, apparently, a hipster douche). Or haven't you read this thread?

Idk man. The air quality in Loudoun is just fine. And "a little longer than it takes you to get to DC" is a flat out delusion. I just Googled it, Staunton literally almost 3 hours away to DC.

I know you like Staunton and all, good for you. But some of us don't want to live in the middle of nowhere and want to be around people, meet up with friends, family, etc.

I'm glad you bought a nice house in the middle of nowhere without NOVA traffic and prices, but not everyone wants to live way out in Staunton. This is a Northern Virginia forum, yet...You're posting here. Just seems like you're trolling at this point..

I don't really care for "the south" either. I lived in Wilmington, NC and Memphis.

Even the other guy who lives in NOVA admitted it's filled with hipsters.

It's 2.5 hours to get to DC from here, and it's about an hour and a half for the guy who lives in Middleburg. I'm not in the middle of nowhere. I live in the city of Staunton. A short drive to Roanoke, Lynchburg, Harrisonburg, and Charlottesville. I do, however, have the option to move to the middle of nowhere down here. And according to C-D, my air quality is 4x better than the air quality in NOVA. Keep it up y'all, you're one promotion away from moving out of the condo and into the townhouse.

Right, 2.5 hours is almost 3 hours. I said that already.

Considering you live in Staunton, your last sentence just indicates your insecurities and that you're doing nothing but trolling people. Sorry you weren't smart enough to make it in NOVA, but don't blame others for your poor choices. Just saying bro.

ok, no. For this gal, it is 1 hour to get to DC on a weekend. It is 1.5 hours in evening rush hour to get back to Middleburg from DC.

There is no way you will convince anyone that it is only 2.5 hours from DC to Staunton in evening rush hour. It is MUCH closer in Middleburg.

So, as you desperately try to get the last word in, please do so with facts.

Smart enough to make it? Sorry scro, but I knew when to leave. I sold two condos during the market peak in 06-07. Doesn't get much smarter than predicting a real estate crash. Or maybe you're just mad because your upside down in a house? All irrelevant really, because my points are solid. The DC area is boring and crowded. I outgrew it years ago. But I'm not here to criticize anyone. If you want to graduate from VA Tech, move to Arlington, and spend summers at Dewey Beach, more power to ya.

I just telling you what Google maps told me at this time of day. I don't believe your Middleburg story either. I lived in Frederick, and it would take 2 hours to get back there from DC in the afternoons.
