> End of the day the City voted no, narrowly but still no.
and yet here we are still talking about and it's still alive in legislature. agreed that Petersburg should do whatever is best for them regardless.
all of those licensing fees go to the state, don't they? Richmond would benefit only marginally. predatory business gobbling millions throwing back a pittance sounds like a great bargain.

That was Elkhart Middle on Hull Street that was condemned and the students were combined with Thompson Middle on Forest Hill the following school year after initially going to Clark Springs. Elkhart-Thompson Middle was left vacant when the new River City Middle School was completed. Please understand how RPS’s continued and ongoing mismanagement of it school stock (deferred maintenance and continued use of underutilized schools) has been more significant in recent years than the Dillion rule (thats an excuse at this point - adjust and move forward). The entire reason we’re having this convo is because the system did not maintain their fire alarm systems.

I think it's reference to some Christmas drag queen event the museum put on.

We did the Midlothan Mines park and the kids played in the yard this afternoon. Man, the sun was good for the soul. If we aren’t going to get snow, can it just be spring in Richmond?
Planning to watch You People tonight and go to bed early.

Someone with photoshop skills should really create incredibly graphic images of him fucking and being fucked by Joe Biden. Hand it to him in an envelope and walk away.

It’s white liberals who think that black people are “tricked” into voting against their best interests. Good thing we have all these white Richmonders who vote in large enough numbers to save black Richmonders from themselves! /s

Ran some hills at forest hill park, read the mastery of love at the vmfa, and finishing the night with gilmore girls and a bag of cheddar jalepeño cheetos

> People will absolutely use non-price ways of sorting buyers/renters if they face limited competition and/or growing demand.
Limited consequences for their actions too unfortunately.

>unit supply growth has not kept pace with the increase in demand.

​
Every house in my neighborhood is on a 1/3 acre lot and have seen home prices nearly 2x what they were about 5 years, and nearly 5x cost of the houses original real construction costs. But the city has not legalized one additional unit since 1950, when the neighborhood was complete. 5 fold price increase, 0 supply increase.
​
That is an elasticity of supply of....0. Perfectly inelastic. The city simply does not allow enough to housing to be built. Its baffling and frustrating.

Reply to My moms washing machine and dryer have had it. I’m going to buy her a new one but I have several loads and comforters to do now. Has anyone been to the laundry mat in lakeside that used to be called the Dutch maid - how much does it cost and do I need to take quarters ? Thanks by Proud_Pug
I highly recommend replacing with a Speed Queen. Used to have a Samsung but our maid prefers the Speed Queen.

The one condemned for mold? That sent those kids to Clark springs in the first place? I’m not going to pretend like I’m at all impressed with the rps maintenance/facilities dept now or over the last ..60? Years. But do read up on the findings from the school modernization committee. We can’t blame RPS for the effects of the Dillon rule.

>Housing/shelter is commodified by entities so wealthy that of course it seems illogical to a regular person that can’t gobble up vacant homes.
​
bruh, housing was "commodified" since the invention of housing. A house is literally combination of commodity goods -- timber, drywall, romex, concrete, nails,etc. Even the trim or 'luxury items' are mass produced, "commodified" products.
Appealing to somekind of other, "the corporations" or "foreigners" or whatever I always see, is garbage, neither backed by the data (low vacancy rates) or economic intuition. No, they are not buying them to keep them empty because the opportunity cost is huge (ie, lost rental income).

Something must have changed because I've eaten Gersi plenty of times and I've not paid that much or had anything that looked like that

Market on 25th is good for quick things. For a big grocery shopping I drive to publix.

Am I crazy or was Clark Springs full of mold? I moved before my child was school age, but when I was zoned for Clark Springs I recall the building was close to being condemned....

I was in that post warning people not to interact with him, and suggesting they loudly play Disney music around him so he can't use his body cam footage for his YouTube channel
