Wife and I discussed VA’s election debacle and have decided we’re pulling up stakes in 2021 when she retires. We’ll be moving across the border to NC. Of course, NC has its own problems, but it’s not (yet) a one-party tyranny like Virginia will be once the dems take full control in January.
Wishing you all the best with your move. Hopefully high taxes won’t force the rest to follow you out.
Good idea to move but why don’t you think about moving a bit further to SC. World of difference vs NC. We live just 25 miles south of Charlotte NC and enjoy unbelievably low RE taxes vs NJ or MA, two States we have lived in previously.
In addition the infrastructure is almost entirely new and there is abundant shopping nearby (we live in Indian Land, just a few miles over the NC border.)
The State is deep, deep red,another plus.
