Reply to comment by FromTheIsle in Why are Henrico roads so much better? by RefrigeratorRater
Richmond also has more concentrated poverty than the surrounding counties which isn’t really something easy or cheap to fix

Ya its just alot of issues that Henrico doesn't really have to even think of. Henrico and other surrounding counties also don't have to really think too much about how to draw in people because RVA does that for them. The counties score big time on just having to focus on basic services while Richmond is tasked with heading regional efforts to maintain tourism, population growth, transport, etc. Henrico, Chesterfield, Powhatan, and Hanover can all just aboard the revenue stream that is Richmond.

Eastern Henrico would beg to differ.

This is also why we are setting up regional tax for transportation. Tourism is also handled at the regional level
