My wife and I like the natural beauty of the Pacific NW, but we can't wait to move back to Virginia when my job allows it. This kind of nonsense drives us up the wall and there are so many examples of it that it's impossible to avoid seeing it on a daily basis.
Welcome back to hell, then. This sort of *expletive deleted*it is spreading like a plague of locusts here in Northern Virginia, and it's slowly infecting the rest of the state as we elect more and more "progressive" politicians.
