" Aspects of living in Norfolk, VA"

6/25/2006
I am orginally from Brooklyn,NY so living here has been like culture shock.
It is a fairly good place to establish a family. However, my prospective is from a low income stand point. The lower income situation is quite strict and controlled at best. As with any state I imagine the divide between the three classes ( lower, middle and upper) is quite easy to recognize.
The crime rate in Norfolk; on a scale from 1 to 10 is about 4.
However, high paying jobs are few. I think this is due to the 'commom wealth'
aspect of the state. It has the strictest control over money and opportunity.
Due to the lack of cultural diversity in it's City planning.
Tidewater , as the region is called, is different from say Richmond and North Carolina. It has a 'middle' effect. Overall though if you are established or if you want to start new in a much slower paced environment then the city of Norfolk,VA is for you.
