9. Northern Virginia
probably one of the most Democratic areas anywhere, really nice area (I miss it so much!) PG County, oh man what adump! Their school system is no different than what I went through way way back in the 1980s--miserable. From a comic I saw about PG, Motgomery, and Anne Arundel schools

Montgery--I want to be a Doctor
Ann Aruden--I want to be a Lawyer

All you need to know right there...

15. City Life is nice, Suburbs are ok, but....
The Country is where it's at. Nothing like great air, wide open expanses and some solitude.
