Not the friendliest city

I have lived just outside of Richmond for 2 years now. Since I work from home I have done everything to meet people including joining several Meet-Up groups. Most of those groups have been established long enough to create “clicks” within the group. I joined a New-to-Richmond group and everyone there had been a member for years and didn’t feel the need to reach out or interact with the new comers they just wanted someone to have happy hour with and they only at a bar which is a hard place to get to know people in my opinion. My neighborhood is beautiful but I’ve been told that the people who live out there want their privacy and I was told this by my neighbors! (I live on a 1 acre lot). I moved to VA from Colorado and was told by my extended TX family that Colorado had rude people, well they haven’t seen anything until they see the people of Richmond. On the good side, the price of a nice home is reasonable, schools are great, history is everywhere and the area is beautiful. So, if you don’t require human interaction, Richmond could be the place for you.
