Per last I checked the census Black population is more or less the same, but white population has skyrocketed. And we are still black plurality.

That said, I do think most of the growth in the city is white, and so we will probably be majority white soon. And the census might be missing some of the black population moving out, though it usually undercounts low income population

where in NC is cheaper though? Not Charlotte, Asheville or the Triangle. Wilmington?

the cops were arrested. They are charged with murder. Seems like things are working.

ok, but what in particular should I change? I grant I'm giving back the energy I receive... but the idiocy and hatred of math and facts gets annoying.

My position is that it's much cheaper than most.

Per CNBC. At the end of 2022, the median U.S. rent was $2,305, which was nearly 5% higher than a year earlier. But when compared to the end of the first half of 2022, that median rent had declined almost 6%, the report shows.

It's worth fixing. Destroying is a rather juvenile way of looking at it.

yeah. And it's convoluted

I edited it for you. Hope you appreciate that

I point out they are accurate, and I'm triggering the self described revolutionaries...

body cameras got the cops arrested.

Anyone who is advocating for revolution should go move to North Korea and report back. You have to be wretchedly stupid to think that would make the world better. You and the January 6 people are the same

Probably, but the water bill isn't rent? I've never rented a place and not paid for water or rent..

And it normalizes the price. They are comparing to the previous price which was calculated the same way. And this is an affordable housing group that's skew is to portray rent as high, they certainly aren't trying to diminish it.

So I don't think those are very useful points honestly. Should trash bags from the grocery store be in there too? Can't use the garbage service without garbage bags

yep, you sound just like Trump. Spouting authoritative nonsense in the hope people who don't think will love the slogans and take it seriously.

Your take is very Idiocracy, congrats

We need to replace Fox. Period end of story

I hear you. And I'm worried now it's a trend, not a one off. I think the problem is that Chris Fultz is really good, but has an architecture firm to run.

This last bit was no better than I make myself, and maybe not as good. I do ok brisket, but I'd rather buy really good brisket.

Is there anyone else in Richmond though? I've had no better

absolutely. they both suck and all the assholes, left and right, need to be locked up. They are just narcissists trying to hurt the world

this is why cams are good. And police training is an issue.

One could make your arguments, but the data doesn't back them up.

Revolution would make things worse. But the idiots don't want to do the hard and boring work of fixing the system. We need to pay police more, and train them better.

The riots make them worse.

I think these roads will be constipated actually

hydrating more is pretty key, though I often forget that

blacking out is not good... Maybe stick to beer and wine and see how that goes?

Or give up drinking of course, it's the right solution for many people. Only you know the answer

I never get drunk, but I LOVE wine and I LOVE beer. Which is why I do dry January, I like it enough that I keep awareness.

But I also don't feel better after giving up drinking. Not drinking is the righ choice for many, but I don't feel it is for me.

They are trying to destroy civilization. Let's hear what the NAACP says... whatever happened to "listen to black people"

“We cannot allow folks to come back into our city, throw bricks at humans, throw bricks at the police department, setting things on fire. That is not the way we do things,” James Minor with Richmond NAACP said.

oh my god, I admit I didn't spell it out at a 5th grade level, I had assumed some basic ability to reason. In context of the link which explains you'd think it was freaking obvious. I apologize and will edit it so the point is even more clear for those with limited reading comprehension

I see stupid people are downvoting facts from the literal Partnership For Affordable Housing.

Next the idiots will be telling us that Blackstone owns it. Idiocracy is real, and a bunch of you need to go look in the mirror

this is a word salad of stupidity contradicted by facts. I'm sorry if they don't suit your prejudices.

Some of us have found being competent and accurate to be good for themselves and society. People spewing Trumpian nonsense like that in your post irritate me, whether it's rightist idiocy or leftist idiocy it's still Idiocracy type stupidity.

maybe? I have no idea who that is. Nor do I even plan on googling him, because it has literally nothing to do with what I posted? How on god's green earth does that tiny amount of houses relate to anything I said?
