What are some positive things about Fairfax?
Posted by: Robert ()
Date: August 31, 2007 01:20AM

A friend of mine is interested in moving into Fairfax county. They are concerned about the cost of living, crime, and dealing with mean drivers.

What about Fairfax can I tell them that might make it more appealing?

I can think of one so far:

1-95 South that leads to Richmond.

The crime is not bad.

Cost of living sucks.

Richmond is a shit hole so how is being two hours away a good thing?

Oooh, oooh I got one! Just tell your "friend" that Fairfax is much better than Richmond because it isn't plagued with Meade Skelton!

Considering they are from Richmond I assume they will be looking into public housing and not homes for sale.
If possible stear them to Manassas Park, they will feel right at home.

Fairfax County is one of the wealthiest USA counties and offers a number of advantages to living here:
1. The county has a diverse population.
2. Its residents have attained higher levels of education.
3. We enjoy a well-run county and well-run state.
4. Weather is generally mild and seasonal.
5. Within a few miles there are hundreds of fine restaurants.
6. The county has excellent schools and universities.
7. Every imaginable store is nearby (grocery, Costco, Wal*Mart, Whole Foods, Wegmann's, etc.).
8. The police force is one of the best in the nation.
9. You live near the nation's capital and its fine museums, monuments, etc.
10. Mountains, lakes, farms, oceans, rivers, gaming, are just a few hours away.
11. High levels of professional employment opportunities--as well as support services.
12. Three major airports are available for travel.
13. Major hospitals and medical care are available.
14. While it may not seem like it, I believe the crime rate is generally lower for the population size. (Yes, there are a couple of places in the county that you wouldn't want to live.)

Got several hours of grocery shopping and errand running to get done on weekends? You won't speak to a single retail or customer service employee who speaks English as their native language the entire time... guaranteed.

There will be in a year. The Dude beat me to it, but prices are crashing down on homes here. Areas like Manassas, Sterling, and Ashburn are taking it in the ass and it's going to get a lot worse.

I am a horribly mean driver. If you try getting into my lane, and you are crossing over a solid line to do so, then I will honk at you. If you tailgate me, then I will slow down to 5-10 below the speed limit. Then, when you try to pass me I will speed up so that you get back behind me. If you continue to tailgate me, I will repeat the process. If you think all drivers are being mean to you, then it is because YOU are doing something wrong. END rant

How quickly the child's game of "rumor" corrupts the original comment.

Add to the list the apprehension of 16 illegal aliens and an observant police force not afraid to capture illegals and turn them over to the ICE.

These are all true. Coming from somewhere else, one of the things I
really enjoy about Fairfax county is the diversity.

The weather is only mild and seasonal when you compare it to the rest of
the East coast. Compared to the Pacific Northwest the weather here is
far more extreme.

Most of the rivers, mountains, lakes, and oceans within a few hours tend
to be extremely crowded and not anything like what people from other
parts of the country expect.

I had a friend of mine visit from Oregon and he was actually scared to
go in to DC proper. I tried to explain to him that it was nothing like
whatever his impression was (former murder capital of the US and
whatnot), but he wouldn't budge. Oh well, C'est la vie.
