Manassas, VA
Would love to move -
12/6/2009I have lived in Manassas City for approximately 25 years now and in the overall area since 1973 and I can't wait to leave here. There are so many issues that I don't know where to start. First off is the cultural change. Manassas has basically become little Mexico, or Salvador or pick any Hispanic country you'd like. Many are good law abiding citizens and are good neighbors. But way too many are here illegally and many make no effort to learn the English language and improve themselves. The problems caused by them would take all day. Secondly is the traffic. The entire DC region sucks when it comes to traffic. Way too much money will need to be spent and attitudes will need to change before it can be fixed.
Thirdly is the cost of living. Even though home prices has taken a nose dive along with most of the country it's still costly to live here. Once the economy recovers I imagine the home prices will as well.
Manassas has a decent amount of Cultural things but you mostly need to head into DC for the more serious stuff.
