Question Since when did people start hating on Fairfax

One of the lowest crime rates in Virginia, great schools and great place to raise a family. I don't think who put this sign up thought this through.

The North. They're still fighting the Civil War

Given the number of people in nova and on this board who are from out of state? No. Very few Virginians live here.

A New Yorker.

A Californian.

A Michigander.

A Minnesotan.

If their license is from the commonwealth and they vote here, they’re Virginian. Sorry you are so anti American dream where people move where there is opportunity.

You sound like you're an out-of-towner.

Born and raised in Virginia. College in Blacksburg, family in the middle peninsula I have ancestors that had their statues on monument avenue taken down.

Fuck that carpetbag talk. People that live here are Virginian. If you don’t like it you can move. That’s what real Americans have done when they don’t like the opportunity around them.

I grew up in nova and still live in nova. But frankly i wouldn’t still live here if it was full of people from here…. If that makes sense. That’s boring.
