    What do you mean? Some places in Virginia have a pretty high cost of living, especially the areas within the National Capital Region area. Not as bad as places like NYC or SFO, but still not exactly cheap unless you’re living in the boonies (which can be said of literally any state, excepting very small ones like Hawaii).

      For middle incomes in the NCR in DC or MD it’s usually cheaper to get the same thing in VA, on an income tax basis alone.

          Siskiyou County has an average house price of 240k according to this amazing logic, someone would be better off for these types of things in VA than that county.

          But don’t worry, I get it, it’s not about facts or using sound logic, which is why you cherry picked all of CA vs Virginia, when the op mentioned only HCOL areas.

        Hampton Roads is one of the lowest cost of living areas (that aren’t rural) in the entire country right now. Like, top 5.

        As you well know Virginia also has some of the highest cost of living places in the country in and around Washington D.C.

        And a not-so-affordable medium in the Richmond area.
