A significant gap exists between the people of Northern Virginia and the people in the rest of the state. We share very little in common. Besides culture, politics and the rest where we have very little in common, the people of Northern Virginia pay a bulk of the taxes that make up the state revenue, yet we barely get anything on our investment. Our roads are a disaster and have been for decades. But go down south and they have five-lane highways with hardly any traffic.
