(i) Richmond is very queer friendly and has a relatively large community for a small city.

(ii) In the city, I have not seen any xenophobia or weirdness. Fairly open.

(iii) Richmond is small. Secrets are not really easy to keep here. Especially within certain professional circles, people talk.

(iv) Fairly diverse. We have a lot of Vietnamese immigrants, as well as a small but active Armenian community, same with Greek, same with Jewish all with a great food festival associated with them.

(v) I have 1Gbps verizon, pretty solid. Comcast isnt quite as reliable in my experience. I don't think Fiber is a thing here yet outside of certain heavily commercial areas like downtown but allegedy its coming.
