I moved to NoVA from the New Haven area and can’t wait to make it back too. It sucks down here.

Do you mind explaining further about why NOVA sucks? I’m moving down there this weekend and I want to hear your opinion.

Sorry, hope my bias doesn’t dissuade you.

-It’s urban sprawl on steroids. One “ life style center” after another keeps going up. Build it as fast as you can and as cheap as you can. -No character or charm. New England is rich in history and culture. Northern Virginia was mainly vacant farmland up until 30-40 years ago. Now it’s just cookie cutter developments with no sense of identity. -Although comparable to much of New England, rents in northern Virginia are amongst the highest in the nation. -Traffic. Beltway traffic is just as bad, if not worse than metro NYC depending on where you’re going. -DC is not a real city and is both literally and figuratively a swamp. It’s just one big monument.

Yes, before down voting, I’m a New England snob through and through.

IMHO, NOVA has more character and diversity than CT as a hole. The traffic equals out, but with NOVA’s great transportation systems it really helps offset the congestion.

Just my thoughts.

I lived in Reston for many years and also loved it. I live outside new haven now and love that too. Two great places honestly.
