If you want to stay in Virginia, when things get even worse (and they will) you can move to the Appalachian mountains in Virginia. Go to places like Elk Creek, Troutdale or Mouth of Wilson near Mt Rogers. No colleges around to pollute the neighborhood. All your neighbors value their privacy. It gets noisy sometimes during deer season or when they’re just improving their accuracy - which is always. Good people in the area. Fresh food, eggs and fish as well.
Thanks for that info, ladyjane!
My husband and I were just in the New River and Shenandoah Valleys. Really like both those areas, especially the smaller towns .
