I think it's out of state searches only. I also think RTD sucks. But easy enough to post here while reading, and it's the sort of thing people find interesting. Some of the order is minorly interesting

Virginia Beach and Charlottesville aren’t out of state though
Charlesinrichmond OP t1_j9ysp12 wrote
hmm. You are forcing me to make an RTD article make sense. I'm going to have to start inventing things here. Outside of Richmond Metro? With "Washington" defined as "all of Metro DC including Nova"?

Works for me!

I’m intrigued by the Sacramento to Richmond pipeline. They rest make sense in their own ways.
codva t1_j9z035y wrote
Sacramento is about 90 miles from SF. Maybe people that were doing that commute regularly or semi-regularly that are now FT remote, so they are bugging out before somebody asks them to start commuting?
Newyew22 t1_j9z1j48 wrote
That’s an intriguing possibility.

Right? What is with these weird articles perpetuating otherism about transplants
ifweweresharks t1_j9z2zmy wrote
Sacramento and Richmond are very similar

Ayyyy my fellow Austin escapees are outliers. I know there’s quite a few (like 10) of us. Will we be spared from scrutiny? Tune in to the next “Richmond is the next Austin” post/comment to find out!

Lol I just recently moved from Austin.. a lot of people I knew leaving central Texas were headed to Colorado.
Newyew22 t1_j9z7ira wrote
Say more about that. State capitals, in the far orbit of very large and important metros, what else? Tell me more!

Wait, confused. Someone reads RTD?

My step sister from San Francisco just purchased a house in Richmond.

Colorado for sure, and Washington in my experience.
Don’t miss anything about Austin except it’s access to West Texas.

Atlanta must be getting a bit expensive as of late.

Oh gosh. I grew up there and have been back to visit a few times as an adult, but I feel like between the breweries, the historical aspects (Fort Sutter), the rivers (Sacramento and American), historic neighborhoods (Lady Bird was shot there) there are a lot of similarities.

Just touched down from Philly. I’ve heard of a lot of Richmonders moving up there too.

New York number 1 baby!!!! Richmond is the new Staten island. Makes sense because Brooklyn is the new Manhattan and Queens is the new Brooklyn and the Bronx is the new Queens.
djeeetyet t1_j9zrrhj wrote
Welcome! There definitely is a bit of bi-directional moving. Yea I've had a few friends who've relocated to Philly too.
Newyew22 t1_j9ztbos wrote
Fascinating! Thanks for saying more.

What’s her @?

Sacramento is one of the most "east coast" feeling cities in California. Maybe THE most.
Newyew22 t1_ja029yd wrote
Love that! I’ve only driven through it, so I’d love to see it.
Effective_Mud8348 t1_ja02nhv wrote
Maybe it's the brick buildings or the street grid.

more than 10. The level of Austin-ites buying houses in Md/Fan is notable. Huge? no. We are still Nova driven, but there

staten island? that's cold. And the italian food does not support the thesis. Brooklyn or bust!

skims! But it takes seconds out of my day. And once a week they have something vaguely useful. maybe
Asterion7 t1_ja88uc4 wrote
Yeah, but we are a pain in the ass to get too and have the smallest populations and mostly live in houses.
Charlesinrichmond OP t1_ja8kiau wrote
hmm. That much of a PITA to get to though?
I literally went through SI for the first time last summer. After a lifetime in and around NYC.

That would’ve been me if I was a year earlier to the party. I’m happy to spread our yeehaw influence out a bit.
Charlesinrichmond OP t1_jaddj0x wrote
yeah, the bump in prices everywhere was nuts, but in Richmond city especially.

I find it odd that Richmond didn't make the list.
