That looks like a nice neighborhood. I like the amenities. Some of those houses were upwards of 900k in the fall which blew my mind, so I hope it’s solid builder.

Lots of other big neighborhoods have used that builder— Charter Colony, Rutland, etc.

I do feel like those kids would be the first on the chopping block for a future high school rezone, but I’m no expert.

It’s nice they built that back road. VCC area seems to be making a monumental shift in change of the development like the mall. For the good.

lol, sure thing.

We do not, but there are tons of kids in the neighborhood. There’s a Facebook group called River Mill Homeowners where there are more qualified folks to speak about the school system.

Laurel is fine. Hilarious that someone would find that area sketchy.

My b I meant shockoe creek. There's like 6 creeks right there.

The infamous flood wall puddle. Ask bottoms up about it.

You're right. Edited my comment and added a link to how it all went down.

It’s not so clear cut but you do make good points. Mental health and local politics go hand in hand and I’ve seen how local leadership in CSBs reflect in contracts, MOUs, and more. The government has not given a clear roadmap with realistic and achievable goals and continues to give local mental health agencies mixed signals. CSBs used tdt as a cash cow and abused the system, using it as a foundation to pad their budget. Often keeping kids in service for longer than needed. At this point tdt is gone with no replacement offered. CSBs and agencies that used to provide the service don’t have staff for it and claim they won’t hire because of Medicaid auths and difficulty coupled with no guidance from the state. State is apparently asking the csbs why they don’t provide TDT. Finger pointing in both directions.

I speak from personal and professional ties to the field and am working closely to try to address some disparities in my community so my soapbox isn’t just grandstanding 😇

Gonna need a hell of a plunger.

Gillies creek is two miles from shockoe, way over in Fulton, flowing to the river from Eastern Henrico. It had nothing to do with flooding in Shockoe. Over 12" of heavy rain in 8 hours is what caused the flooding.

Here's an account of how it went down:

Thank you! Do you have kids in elementary or middle school and if so do you like the schools?

Gaston flooded because shockoe creek flooded due to the rain.

The flood wall is not designed to protect richmond from shockoe creek flooding, only from the river. Shockoe creek is on the other side of the flood wall. So the flood wall couldn't have done anything in that situation. In fact its mere existence made it worse because it trapped all the water from trying to get into the river and instead held it in shockoe.

It's poo water. Either too much water flooded the sewer system because the pipes are not in good condition or it got jammed up do to wet wipes.

Howdy, potential new neighbor! We built with HHHunt in River Mill in 2019 and have had a great experience! I could tell you some horror stories about some of the other builders in this neighborhood, but HHunt was great and we love our home!

The flood wall was not closed. We got 10 inches of rain in less than 6 hours. Our civil war era drainage didn’t help.

It was not riverine flooding, there was no water coming down river. It takes about 24-30 hours to close. There was no prediction of river flooding with Gaston.

Yeah you guys can downvote my answer. I was thinking of DR Horton

I rode that storm out on the 4th floor of my friend's apartment at 21st and Cary. Water was rising up to the driver's windows of cars parked down by 18th and I vividly remember the bottoms up dumpster floating down the street.

I’m a bit apprehensive of the limited post history

ddbv is gold. well done.

Hhhunt was the 74th biggest home builder in us in 2019. Duno what this guy is talkin bout

Super-flush!

It appears to be flooding.
