Yup' and f*** me because the places I can comfortably live without a car, are all ruined by skyrocketing real estate prices.

you are quite literally using skin color as an insult. So you've decided it's an ok thing. Literally, you endorse racism. How can you possibly think that is a good thing? Doesn't the utter hypocrisy just apall you?

I think people moving in is great. I'm the opposite of a nativist and I don't believe in gentrification.
but the people complaining have a point. They are being priced out. Because of a shortage of supply. But that's not your fault, it's the city's

We are far from the greatest country in the world. Our politicians fight over how much money to take away from public services. We have more empty houses than unhoused people. We throw out literally as much food as we consume, yet children go hungry and schools take away free lunches because "socialism".
And who rails against "socialism"? The same ones who fly confederate flags and say "The South will rise again!" unironically. The same people who committed treason in the Civil War had kids who had kids who had kids who had kids who.... committed sedition and tried to overthrow the government because they couldn't accept the fact that their guy lost. Because losing is such an ingrained cultural pain to them, they HAVE to lose constantly so they can feel something. And this often boils over into racially motivated violence, politically motivated violence, sexually motivated violence,.. all because the core values of the confederacy were never burned away. They were planted, nurtured, fertilized, and its getting pretty ripe with fruit nowadays..

I empathize with that! I've seen firsthand the damage gentrification does to community members.
That's partly why I want to move to a place that might actually have a community.

RVA all the way. I love Charlottesville, but RVA will be a better fit. Not Myrtle Beach ever for the love of god

people are feeling like they are getting priced out of a city they love because of all the people moving down from Nova. Online that's a thing, in real life you won't come across it

No comment to the majority of your statement. But the ‘experience’ you receive at RAA is not a right of passage. It does not offset the poor conditions and pay that the organization has.
It’s not your employer that is reflected in your experience, it’s you.
Sincerely,
A 20 year firefighter who’s conducted interviews for public safety jobs.

yes, you can. Easier with a car of course.
To do it you pretty much have to be in Fan or Museum District or close by
But I know at least 1 person in Church Hill who does it

Interesting that you took that as an insult rather than an observation of the air of your opinion being superior to that of Black people. This is one of the key aspects of the concept of whiteness.
Thank you providing a real world example with your accusations of racism.

Number them, something like PS123. Any name you choose will offend someone, either now or in the future.

I do think it was a waste. I would have just renamed Lee "Grant" Stuart "Sherman" and so forth.
