Why limit your aspirations to being like California? Shoot for the stars and try to be like Illinois with burgeoning taxes and a population that is fleeing.

If you get what you want,be sure and get a pooper scooper for the homeless mess. Also, donate cardboard to their houses,also watch your step you don’t want to get stuck by a needle a drug addict left. Finally, be prepared for forest fires, higher taxes (you will like that), and watch the crime rate increase.

I'm not worried about tax increases; I typically vote for those. In fact, I expect and welcome it for higher government services and a pay increase for certain sectors, particularly education.

And no, I do not want all handguns confiscated. But stronger regulations are necessary, although it'll take a national effort. It won't matter what we do here if you can hop to West Virginia and get a firearm anyways. But it's a step forward in that national effort.

Less than my commute. We have more WV people working in our office than Delaware people. My commute is at a minimum 5 hours per day roundtrip. Worst (couple of times a year when a truck flips across US-50 or a family is wiped out in a head-on on the Bay Bridge) is around 8 hours of commute.UNI88 wrote:If you raise taxes enough people won't just hop to West Virginia, they'll move there.

Re: The Official "Making America Great Again" Thread
Virginia’s problem is 1/3 of the state’s population is in densely populated, deep blue, liberal, Northern VA. Most of them aren’t native Virginian’s, but liberal transplants. Most of the rest of VA outside the cities is deep red.
Taxes will go up, cost of living will go up, they’ll be going after people’s guns, etc. I’d scratched it off the potential retirement list decade ago.
VA would have been better off if Northern VA had gone to Maryland or WV when WV seceded from VA..
