Not Californians?
@PeteS in CA If you lived on the East Coast,you would understand.
The scum of the Earth from all over the country moved to Maryland to be close to DC,and still have semi-affordable living expenses. Then there got to be so many of them that the State of Maryland basically turned into "The Moscow of the West",and taxes went through the roof to pay the living expenses of all the parasites that followed all the "free stuff"
So the wealthy leftists started moving to the northern Virginia "horse country",which had vast tracts of inexpensive land,and set up estates. Which mean they suddenly added massive requirements for police,fire,roads,sewers,electricity,etc,etc,etc,to what had been primarily rural areas. Eventually lots of those horse ranches got cut up into building lots,and housing developments popped up. Hey! There has to be someplace for the hired help to live,right? You don't really expect those people to clean their own houses,cut their own grass,work their own gardens,raise their own children,or wash their own cars,do you? Not to mention serve themselves when they stop off at Arby's for a roast beef,or go shopping at Wal-Mart.
The result was that generational residents of Northern Virginia ended up selling off land that had been in some of their families for centuries,and moving to southern or western Virginia to get away from the Rich White (mostly) Trash that was moving in,so they could live in peace.
Now northern Virginia is insanely expensive to live in,and the whole damn place is covered with mini-McMansions on 5 acre horse ranches.
And the traffic is beyond horrible in the AM and after 4 PM on weekdays. For all practical purposes,the whole area might as well be named Washington,DC.
I personally wouldn't live there if you gave me a McMansion for free and paid my taxes. Damn shame,too. Used to be a VERY pretty place to live or visit,and was full of friendly people.
