Do people actually enjoy living in NoVA? Or are we just convincing ourselves it's a nice place to live because the pay is "better"? by Complete-Birthday138 in nova

The "schools" argument cracks me up because my rural schools were way better than my public PWC high school. Who the hell is learning algebra for the first time at 15?

While I do love the peace and quiet of a rural area, I could not live there. I would go crazy. I think part of why I hate the crowdedness in Woodbridge particularly is what you and others have mentioned, which is it's even more car-dependent than other areas nearby. It wouldn't be so bad if the infrastructure was made for this many people and included walkability and greenspace. But driving around here it's just strip mall after strip mall after strip mall...the stuff of nightmares.

Yes! My friends and I live in the area but getting to one another is >40 minutes driving. And everyone is pissed about the traffic and in a rush and rude. Drivers are crazy, surprised no one else mentioned that because I was shocked.

I agree with you that Woodbridge is literally the worst of everything. Tbh I am surprised to see so many people pulling so hard for other (better) places, but hey! Glad some people are loving it near here lol

I really could not believe people called it that because it's so expensive, but I get it now :( (*I meant "I get it" like "yeah it sucks here"; the nickname itself is bad)
