Excellent. Not a single city in Virginia.

Perhaps they did not ask. But who's to say they did not get some?

In doing research for work I came across the curious fact that after many decades of steady decline the city of Richmond suddenly experienced a population increase of 25,000 over the past decade.

Feds resettling immigrants to turn the state blue, methinks. This list may just be the whining of blue-state Mayors who are upset Obama is sending all the new arrivals to blue and purple areas in order to flip them.

Richmond has become a very hip place to be. A fabulous restaurant town. One of my sons and many of his RVA 20- and 30-something friends have moved there in the past decade, and have loved it ... it’s (still, at least for now) affordable!

On the other hand, I have contemporary friends who live in the RVA ‘burbs who will not, under any circumstances, go into the city. Hasn’t transitioned quite enough for them, apparently.
