    Why is the city not developing? This a problem because everything is in Fredericksburg. Why should I need to drive there to go to a nice restaurant, Costco, movies, etc. This area feels like a small rural town. This is silly because there is nearly 160,000 people living in the county. Make a real downtown in Stafford City and develop the city.

    If you're watching this video and planning on moving to the area, please reconsider. It's already waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too crowded here with all the "beltway bandits" that want to make the big DC bucks and not pay the high cost of homes closer to the city. It doesn't matter what time of day you try and get anywhere in the area traffic totally stinks. Plan on a 20 to 30 minute drive to get anywhere in the area and that's on a weekday. Add a few minutes to that on the weekends when everyone and their brother are out and about. It's definitely not the same as it was back in 1973 when I first moved here and you could drive 555 - 65 mph from Culpepper to the I-95 onramp with no traffic signals. That certainly isn't the case now with every road loaded with traffic lights and drivers glued to their phones in their own little world while they wait on a light and finally realize that the light has changed when it's almost red again so the people behind them have to wait for another cycle. No, we for sure don't need any more residents in the area, if anything, a few thousand need to move away.

    I just came across this video about Caroline County and have to give my opinion. If I could go back to Stafford I would in a heartbeat! There is literally NOTHING out here but woods & open fields. There are zero employment opportunities, no medical centers/hospitals, no choice in dining or groceries. The diversity is almost non existent, no kind of entertainment, it's ridiculously far away from everything. I've seen more churches than anything else around here. I honestly believe this place is for retired Caucasian people

    Stafford sucks. I grew up there. Even back in the olden days, traffic was a nighmare. My parents found it difficult to make fruends because the adults commuted to DC and had no time for life. No where to shop. Have to go out of the county to work. Not really any sense of community to be proud of.

    Stafford is not a good place to live. Its proximity to Route 1 and the 95 highway makes it a pain in the arse especially around rush hour, holidays, or if there is inclement weather or a road accident. Stafford lacks a movie theater. Mom and pop stores have closed down due to high leasing costs.

  • @wheretoliveFredericksburg
    @wheretoliveFredericksburg7 ай бұрын

    Property taxes in Virginia are calculated by multiplying a home's assessed value by the property tax rate. The tax rate varies by jurisdiction. Assessed value is determined by local assessors on regular cycles. By state law, cities are required to reassess every two years and counties every four years

    Cars are often taxed at 90% of retail assessed value. The rate varies greatly by jurisdiction. Usually between $3 and $5 per $100 of the assessed value. I can’t give a more specific answer because it varies so much by locality.
