Virginia seems very similar to Ny in the 90s

All the focus on growth was in the city and upstate started to rot. Its compounded since the.except a respite during Covid. The response by ny state was to bring jobs to the upstate through casinos and prisons. But most of the legislative funding went to the city. Seems like Virginia has that going on now or at least it appears so to me with much of the funding going to nova instead of rova. ** Edited by GreenvilleVT at 3/27/2024, 4:56:25 PM
