10 Places in VIRGINIA You Should NEVER Move To

10 Places in VIRGINIA You Should NEVER Move To

Move to these places and you’re gonna regret it big time!

Virginia. A state that seems to have it all. There’s mountains to climb, slopes to ski on, beaches to hang out at and delicious seafood. It’s one of the wealthiest and most successful states, when you measure income levels and education. Some good people all over the state – the mountain folk are kind and generous and look out for one another, too. And while Old Dominion might seem like a good place for a vacay – it might not be where you want to plant roots…well, at least not in the 10 cities we’re going to talk about.

We’ve looked at a wide range of data, including crime rates, unemployment rates, poverty, education and more. Plus, we took into account YOUR opinion – that’s right – you Virginians have a lot to say about which places in your states are great and which are not so great. Sadly, while “Virginia is for lovers,” there’s not much to love about the following places we’re going to talk about. Let’s begin, shall we?

  2. Tiffany Gash on August 28, 2021 at 10:43 pm

    I lived in south Boston Halifax it’s not much of nothing down there you’re right that’s why I lived in Danville also on West main Street right across the street from the gas station but one thing I can say it is a lot of crime it is this and it is that but the children I seen down there they were into reading books a lot and I’m from Richmond Virginia Northside highland Park living in Danville as a nurse I could find nursing jobs even jobs at a gas station will hire me I would have stayed in Danville but I moved back to Richmond because of my transportation and everything was far away in Danville the people I really nice and friendly and share

  3. Brandon Johnson on August 28, 2021 at 10:43 pm

    As a Bad Newz native I would just like to say Portsmouth is worse than us.

  4. Leah Rowe on August 28, 2021 at 10:43 pm

  6. Luckiii on August 28, 2021 at 10:45 pm

    Honestly , I think Haymarket VA may be the best place to live in
    Near Bristow & Gainesville which are also great areas. Decent schools too

  7. Roger Pullin on August 28, 2021 at 10:45 pm

    My mother taught me, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all

  8. Whiskeybuisness on August 28, 2021 at 10:46 pm

  11. Adam W on August 28, 2021 at 10:50 pm

    Please don’t have Hopewell

  12. Raja Mahmood on August 28, 2021 at 10:51 pm

    America spent more than 3 Trillion in Afghanistan and came back defeated and
    Could have used that much on their own people

  13. Tiff N T.j. Huffman on August 28, 2021 at 10:51 pm

    Wow Like my house is on here! Lmao..The worst street in Marion is Pearl Avenue. But Mister ya got that right Marion is far from cool. Lol

  14. Adam W on August 28, 2021 at 10:53 pm

  15. Roanoke Spotting on August 28, 2021 at 10:56 pm

    I live in roanoke. Every damn time i hear sirens. The crime rate is true btw.

  16. năm 84 on August 28, 2021 at 10:56 pm

    Newport News isn’t bad.. mid part are nice. Unlike Hampton.
    Alexandria is sucks too

  17. Blacker Panther on August 28, 2021 at 10:56 pm

    Hmmmmmm, I see a common theme in the demographics

  18. Karen Hunt on August 28, 2021 at 11:01 pm

    This is the WORST REVIEW OF NEWPORT NEWS. you didn’t acknowledge the shipyard, you didn’t take into account the nice side of Newport news. Absolutely terrible review and shows footage where there’s no homes there anymore. Disgusting review of Newport News

  19. Link Thompson on August 28, 2021 at 11:01 pm

    This is really funny. I like how, with Roanoke he said, "Heading to Southwest Virginia!" Dude, Roanoke is Southwest Virginia just like Galax, Richlands and Marion. Southwest Virginia starts in Roanoke going west. Central Virginia starts east of Roanoke like in Bedford. I am truly surprised that places like Grundy, Lebanon, Haysi, Honaker just to name a few wasn’t mentioned. Good information though…

  20. jelly Bean on August 28, 2021 at 11:02 pm

    That jingle tho 😭😭😭

  21. Shyrl Robtison on August 28, 2021 at 11:03 pm

    AND CROOKED COPS 👮‍♂️ WHO BEAT SENIORS WITH DISABILITIES I WAS ONE OF THEM……

  22. C-LAROCK THE MAYOR on August 28, 2021 at 11:04 pm

    The VA ain’t nothing but a klan site county my my my we can a long way or did we?

  23. Hey Adora on August 28, 2021 at 11:05 pm

    Some people are saying Richmond but I don’t agree. I’m not sure what it’s like for y’all but I think it’s great there’s nice people it’s fun and has cool places

  24. Roanoke Spotting on August 28, 2021 at 11:05 pm

    But ngl Roanoke airport is small. Not that much good planes come in, kind boring but sometimes we get some Military planes.

  25. MrTyrant258 on August 28, 2021 at 11:06 pm

    “With battleships in your backyard, you might feel safe. But don’t be fooled, Portsmouth is one of the most dangerous cities in Virginia”

    How is a battleship going to protect me from violent crime? What am I going to do, call in an artillery strike on a mugger? 😂

  26. Karisma Vlogs on August 28, 2021 at 11:06 pm

    Damn I live in south Boston 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  27. elizabeth bowman on August 28, 2021 at 11:07 pm

    I’ve lived all over this state the worse place I lived was Alexandria.

  28. Middle Aged Dad on August 28, 2021 at 11:19 pm

    Just avoid the whole state.

  29. NORME on August 28, 2021 at 11:20 pm

    what about Norfolk

  30. donjen3 on August 28, 2021 at 11:20 pm

    Richmond should be on this list. Their Mayor and board members have killed this cities tourism and do little for their citizens.

  31. ShenaniKenZ on August 28, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    I’ve lived in Roanoke since 2001 and I can definitely say it’s grown a lot in the past 10 years. Admittedly, I did resent Roanoke until the last 5 years, for being so lame and uncultured. But wow, it’s really growing! There’s a booming music scene, a lot of breweries and unique small businesses, The Roanoke Pinball Museum & The Roanoke STARCADE Video Game Museum, Star City Games, Black Dog Salvage, MOUNTAINS AND a river and so many outdoor activities, I could go on. Roanoke is pretty awesome these days.

  32. puNk on August 28, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    will avail and take break na po.,

  33. Zahid Sediqi on August 28, 2021 at 11:23 pm

    Could someone give me a list of the best cities to live in Virginia!! ✍️

  34. Karen Hunt on August 28, 2021 at 11:23 pm

    Marion may not be the best but it’s gorgeous. Go to Richmond instead of Marion or Newport News

  35. mason appalachiantrail on August 28, 2021 at 11:24 pm

    Michiganders are like, no, a cheap house has to be under 10k.

  36. Carolyn Jackson on August 28, 2021 at 11:24 pm

    What about Richardsville Virginia,?

  37. Hugh Arrington on August 28, 2021 at 11:25 pm

    I love my 400 acres and appreciate my surroundings

  38. Shyrl Robtison on August 28, 2021 at 11:25 pm

    ROANOKE CO

  39. Tiffany Gash on August 28, 2021 at 11:25 pm

    Oh yeah Petersburg do got that Church’s Chicken on Tuesday and the biscuits off the chain with the apple pie strawberry Fanta but other than that yes Peter bird is dead Petersburg

  40. Carolina Red on August 28, 2021 at 11:26 pm

    Norfolk is worse than Portsmouth honestly

  41. J Stewart on August 28, 2021 at 11:26 pm

    All of Northern Virginia should be avoided.

  42. John Coates on August 28, 2021 at 11:28 pm

    Really! Bad News is #1 Who made this list?

  43. Stephanie Laudicina on August 28, 2021 at 11:29 pm

    Literally how is Fredericksburg not on here? This place sucks and has a serious heroin epidemic

  44. The C Glidin' on August 28, 2021 at 11:30 pm

    I’m in Petersburg

  45. GardenCEO on August 28, 2021 at 11:31 pm

    I was born in Portsmouth this video is 💯 accurate. Im sorry what do all of these bad cities have in common? Democrat controlled bad cities.

  46. Mocha Brown on August 28, 2021 at 11:31 pm

    I am an implant from North Carolina to Danville, VA. On one of your older videos, Danville was the worst place to live in VA. On this list, it’s number 6. Perhaps after the New Casino is built and it brings in more revenue, the city will upgrade a lot of stuff, and then Danville will fall off this list.

  47. Addison Flis on August 28, 2021 at 11:32 pm

    Culpeper county gotta be on this list I swear I see someone getting arrested every time I’m there🤦🏼‍♂️😂

  48. Kris Edwards on August 28, 2021 at 11:35 pm

    I feel like Lynchburg should be on this list

  49. Gloria Calderon on August 28, 2021 at 11:37 pm

    Beautiful beautiful video I love Virginia

  50. Tiffany Gash on August 28, 2021 at 11:37 pm

    Newport News yeah I just mind my business and like to go fishing and enjoy myself fishing but lately I haven’t been catching too much fish on that side of Virginia
