Reply to comment by Charlesinrichmond in Possible Move From NOVA to RVA (Questions) by PeanutterButter101

You and I don't see eye to eye on just how "great" it is for this city to slowly turn into a playground for rich, white folks but you won me with paragraph 3.

It's not a club city, though far better than Nova itself. DC obviously is leagues better, but I don't think Arlington areaNOVA offers much at all. That said, I think Jungle Room is trash while a ton of people think it's amazing. So to some people this is a "club enough" city, but none of the genres you listed, OP, are ones you'll find much of here, except the vague "EDM".

I mean I think people moving here is good for everyone, but I do understand the counter viewpoint. I think the way to keep income diversity is things like ADUs and zoning, though.

It's pretty bad when a moving post has me going wtf. I don't even think this guy is trolling, though I want to. But this is right up there with "tell me why I should move to Richmond, even though I've never been there"

In a comment OP made in r/nova 5 days ago on a related question there, OP said they were considering Richmond if they were going to stay in Virginia. Doesn’t look like they’re trolling.

yeah, I don't think they were trolling. But they made it sound like a troll still, if that makes sense. I started to answer it in my usual way, then I was like, wtf is up with some of these questions?

I think this is a very cool little city, obviously. But I don't get why people would think of moving here from Nova without even bothering to come down for the weekend, or google "vietnamese restaurant Richmond". I mean c'mon now.

The EDM question on the other hand is a good one. I wouldn't tell anyone interested in a SoBe like club scene to come here.
