is it too late to put Birds on things?

I think it's 20 years, not 10. Richmond feels like Portland or Austin did in 2000 or so. Still kind of a secret, cool in pockets, lots of people just there.

we have a LOT of corporate headquarters. A lot more expensive jobs than people on this sub tend to think. Hence the really high household income in western henrico.

Austin got the huge tech market after it was a hot place to live - being cool brought in the tech companies, not vice versa.

not easily. But maybe. I could show you a bunch of dirt cheap fan places. But they are secrets now, not something you can rock up to as a random member of the public.

we can get far more dense. There is so much open land left in Richmond. Even in places like the Fan and Museum District.

Don't understimate the impact of being so close to the DC metro, so much nicer, and so much cheaper. Doesn't take all that much of Nova to move here to change this place dramatically

I know, I know!

It's how RVA felt the day they moved here. Anything before that or after that was bad.

Was reading an article on Austin in the New Yorker yesterday, with a quote telling someone in the 70s that Austin really peaked in the 60s. Captured what you are saying perfectly

around 20 years. There is hope of avoiding it by loosening up zoning so we have more housing.

People will move here no matter what, the people who think there is some way of stopping that are just delusional

aren't reporters supposed to report news, not create news? This sounds like the story is written and now you are plugging things in, which would be the reverse of how it is supposed to be, that's PR.

But look at all the RRHA tenant complaints that come up about bad maintenance and you should find someone. Or go down to Southwood on Hull.

Ironically the RRHA, a city dept basically, leads the area in evictions and maintenance complaints. If the city cared they would put their own house in order first

market as a whole is flat. Market for done properties in desirable areas is still pretty good

city media doesn't stop a city lines, and Rogers ran for mayor with a lot of coverage. I really doubt no one had not heard of her.

This was a massive whiff

leadership

we might. But Alexis Rogers is ALL hedge fund money, bought and paid for. Sonjia smith gave her all of her money, Bagby at least got it from different corporations

yeah. I didn't really think holding it at the IBEW would have been a conflict, but I respect the being careful

I'd assume so. Can't remember if his seat is one of the ones in play for redistricting though, that's what got Adams to do the hail mary

it probably skewed blacker and older. But that's not exactly a bad sign for Bagby in a bigger election

for all of them... So yeah, it's a meaningful data set. Not so much at 50/50, but the blowout, yes

it is, but that's not just the issue. Though I look forward to seeing some sort of city vs county breakdown. The online left is very vocal, but every study and poll and election shows it doesn't get elected

not going to happen - which is why all 3 ran now. You add incumbency and Bagby is a sure fire win, even with a changed district.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see someone run against Bagby, as long as it isn't Adams or Rogers. I think he's the best of that lot

I thought she had a pretty good chance. In fact, I wouldn't have bet on her, but I would have said it was 50/50 between her and Bagby. So I was shocked she was blown out of the water so epically

exactly. Online is not life

I really thought she did. I think it's pushback for all her "Defund the Police" stuff..

What about Kroger on Midlo and Chippenham?

does this count as Manchester though? I'd say Big apple counts equally. And place is actually good enough for mexican ingredients that people drive from all over the area to it

not that bad a price at costco generic fyi

allegra works much better per allergist
