Sorry to intrude upon your subforum like this, but I just had some quick questions for you Virginians.

What's the tech sector like in Norfolk and/or the surrounding areas? (Richmond, etc...) I've been looking through houses in the area and am amazed at what I can get for the money. I'm in SoCal, so your prices are half of what I see here, with actual yards to boot.

Anyhow, just wondering what your neck of the woods is like. Just getting a feel for where I want to lay some roots. I've been in SoCal since the day I was born, time to live it up somewhere else.
