Just as a matter of clarification, the Northern Neck is not urban. It is actually quite rural. I think you mean Northern Virginia which has grown with highly educated, high income and compassionate people who care about their fellow human. It would seem that comments based upon experiences of a half century ago are not really very valid.
Virginia is a marvelous place...from its urban/suburban north to the capital area of Richmond to the rural areas of the Southwest (where the coal mines have not come back despite promises made and broken).
Anyone who comments upon Virginia without recent experience here in this great state is really just expressing an unfounded opinion. It is a state that is changing to meet the needs of its citizens!

Would be great to give northern virginia to dc and make their own state.
The Northern Neck is a great rural area along the Chesapeake Bay.
