Why do you all call places in the County Richmond when it is not. Richmond is the city and we have nothing to do with the county

I'm in Atlanta. Atlanta is BEAUTIFUL and shows what is possible with black leadership and I adore the city. But Georgia hates Atlanta and wants to take it backwards so I'm considering Richmond because I've been there before and thought it was really nice.

I have to correct you on one thing you mentioned. You claim that norfolk is moderate to conservative and this may be true for the suburbs like Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, but Norfolk is a very liberal city, and has pushed the hardest for things like lgbtq+ rights and cannabis legalization compared to other localities in Virginia. Also, Norfolk has a food and drink scene that is pretty much on par with Richmonds with many unique restaurants, breweries, and distilleries, although i will give Richmond a slight advantage on the distilling because of Reservoir. Both are great cities.

The fan area is Uber expensive to buy a decent size house & the city government is one of the worst. Also, you cannot send your children to the city schools, you'll need money to send them to a private school. It's a shame because the history & charm can't be beat. If you go to Shortpump, you need to be able to deal with a lot of congestion & you need lots of disposable income. That said, people from from large metro areas think the home prices here are good, so I suppose it depends on your point of view.

@@MyBestLifeInRVA absolutely!!!! I guess one thing i am struggling with; i presently live in the hudson valley region of NY. So mountains, the hudson river, etc.. absolutely breathtaking. But property+school taxes are around 15k a year and go up each year. I retired a year ago and i have family in charlottesville, orange and richmond virginia so am thinking of relocating. I did look into Fredericksburg, but it seems the main attraction there are the civil war battlefields (sigh).. Richmond seems more diverse (as you stated in one of your other videos!) so i'm going to visit early next year ..perhaps near chesterfield county, etc. However, I am 62, so was wondering are there things to do for someone my age (and single..am divorced)? Mostly restaurants would be nice along with any venue for live music (i like a mix from folk, jazz, r&b but not too much country/bluegrass :-) )

Ashland - Very quaint little city. Bon Air - LOVE this area. Drive there a lot. Chester - I went to school there (Thomas Dale) and everything you mentioned is great. I also went to Enon Elementary! Sibley’s is awesome. So is K&L. I grew up in Enon. Glen Allen - That new Sports Centre. Also those West Enders… -_-() Don’t forget about Avery Point - that new senior community nearby. Mechanicsville - Don’t get up here that often. But I do like the fact it is quiet. I’ve seen that stone mill many times. Ginger Red is a fabulous place to eat. Midlothian - One of my personal choices if I had my ‘druthers. Chesterfield Towne Center I adore. I remember when St. Francis was built. Seen many of those restaurants and been to the Downtown location of ML Steak. Varina - I. Love. This. Area. It’s calm and quiet and - you forgot the Dorey Park Farmer’s Market. My personal favourite. Portabella is nice. Route 5 into Richmond is such a lovely drive. Thanks for the info!

Prices are going up to live here, but benefits are not really expanding to meet the growing population of well-heeled citizens. I will give an example of Fairfax, Virginia as a comparison. If you live in Fairfax, particularly Reston, you get pool membership to all the pools, for a low fee, if any. These are not just holes in the ground, some are 50 meter olympic. Pay taxes in Fairfax, and you get all the health clubs for free. Plenty of options, and you can pay up for more. In the video, many other issues were mentioned, such as pro sports. We just tried to improve that by adding horse racing, but in typical Richmond fashion, it's a "family" venue. They put it in New Kent County, an impossible drive, and a brutal $50 ride share away from town. Traffic : being a lifer here, I can tell you, crossing the river used to be only for workers commuting to the city. So West End residents would live here forever and not cross the river. Now we have this epidemic of suburb to suburb river-crossing commuting that I just don't understand. If you ever use the WIlly Bridge or Huguenot Bridge, you know what I mean. It makes no sense that those routes are over-crowded, and now heavily policed, unless the metro area has just exploded with new residents that can afford a lot of non-essential travel. If focus was placed on useful development on all sides, I would think the cross-town traffic would abate, return to what it was for my first 40 years. The Stony Point fashion park never should have been built; not sure how much longer it survives, but when you drive by it, you are bound to wonder, why these long highways with residential speed limits that go to nowhere, and yet are crowded with people?.
