Ayyyy my fellow Austin escapees are outliers. I know there’s quite a few (like 10) of us. Will we be spared from scrutiny? Tune in to the next “Richmond is the next Austin” post/comment to find out!

Lol I just recently moved from Austin.. a lot of people I knew leaving central Texas were headed to Colorado.
goosey65 t1_j9zhkg3 wrote
Colorado for sure, and Washington in my experience.
Don’t miss anything about Austin except it’s access to West Texas.

more than 10. The level of Austin-ites buying houses in Md/Fan is notable. Huge? no. We are still Nova driven, but there

That would’ve been me if I was a year earlier to the party. I’m happy to spread our yeehaw influence out a bit.

yeah, the bump in prices everywhere was nuts, but in Richmond city especially.

I find it odd that Richmond didn't make the list.
Charlesinrichmond OP t1_j9yqrx6 wrote
I think it's out of state searches only. I also think RTD sucks. But easy enough to post here while reading, and it's the sort of thing people find interesting. Some of the order is minorly interesting

Virginia Beach and Charlottesville aren’t out of state though
Charlesinrichmond OP t1_j9ysp12 wrote
hmm. You are forcing me to make an RTD article make sense. I'm going to have to start inventing things here. Outside of Richmond Metro? With "Washington" defined as "all of Metro DC including Nova"?

Right? What is with these weird articles perpetuating otherism about transplants
Lady-Meows-a-Lot t1_ja03qrx wrote
Anyone here who’s not a Native American is a transplant.

Haha. It’s great, Bouncing Walrus, thank you.

Oh shut up already. I’m a transplant, the dude born and raised in Richmond is not.

Should they be thanking the out of towners for putting upward pressure on home prices?

New York number 1 baby!!!! Richmond is the new Staten island. Makes sense because Brooklyn is the new Manhattan and Queens is the new Brooklyn and the Bronx is the new Queens.

staten island? that's cold. And the italian food does not support the thesis. Brooklyn or bust!
Asterion7 t1_ja88uc4 wrote
Yeah, but we are a pain in the ass to get too and have the smallest populations and mostly live in houses.
Charlesinrichmond OP t1_ja8kiau wrote
hmm. That much of a PITA to get to though?
I literally went through SI for the first time last summer. After a lifetime in and around NYC.

I’m intrigued by the Sacramento to Richmond pipeline. They rest make sense in their own ways.
codva t1_j9z035y wrote
Sacramento is about 90 miles from SF. Maybe people that were doing that commute regularly or semi-regularly that are now FT remote, so they are bugging out before somebody asks them to start commuting?
Newyew22 t1_j9z1j48 wrote
That’s an intriguing possibility.
ifweweresharks t1_j9z2zmy wrote
Sacramento and Richmond are very similar
Newyew22 t1_j9z7ira wrote
Say more about that. State capitals, in the far orbit of very large and important metros, what else? Tell me more!
ifweweresharks t1_j9zju47 wrote
Oh gosh. I grew up there and have been back to visit a few times as an adult, but I feel like between the breweries, the historical aspects (Fort Sutter), the rivers (Sacramento and American), historic neighborhoods (Lady Bird was shot there) there are a lot of similarities.
Newyew22 t1_j9ztbos wrote
Fascinating! Thanks for saying more.
Effective_Mud8348 t1_ja01xgm wrote
Sacramento is one of the most "east coast" feeling cities in California. Maybe THE most.
Newyew22 t1_ja029yd wrote
Love that! I’ve only driven through it, so I’d love to see it.
Effective_Mud8348 t1_ja02nhv wrote
Maybe it's the brick buildings or the street grid.

Atlanta must be getting a bit expensive as of late.
GrumpyNewYorker t1_ja0yns2 wrote
The time to buy in the Atlanta metro was like 20 years ago.
Charlesinrichmond OP t1_ja8888p wrote
a lot expensive when my brother checked. Unless you want a horrible commute

Philly Connection!

Just touched down from Philly. I’ve heard of a lot of Richmonders moving up there too.
djeeetyet t1_j9zrrhj wrote
Welcome! There definitely is a bit of bi-directional moving. Yea I've had a few friends who've relocated to Philly too.

Wait, confused. Someone reads RTD?
Charlesinrichmond OP t1_ja88cgu wrote
skims! But it takes seconds out of my day. And once a week they have something vaguely useful. maybe
