Review of Newport News, Virginia

Cost of Living too high and too much traffic
Star Rating - 1/15/2007
WHen I first moved here 9 years ago, I like the area. Housing was affordable, and traffic was decent. Since then, housing costs have doubled,(mostly due to an increase in property taxes)whil traffic has gotten worse(makes me wonder what those taxes are going for). Can't wait to leave.
