it really doesn't matter if it's 2k, 4k, or 6k. All are more than enough to squish.

no, they used to be good donuts for a couple of years. Then they swapped to Vegan and they became pretty bad. I don't care if the doughnuts are vegan, I cared that they went from awesome to awful.

I like living in the city, it's worth it but I would love if city government went away and we became part of Henrico
But city government sucks because of the people that we vote for or don't vote for we are the ones that have to change it

Depends on design. It can work very well or it can be horrible all depends if it was designed properly
In truth gutters are the solution to a problem but people slap them up whether or not the problem exists

yeah, I don't think they were trolling. But they made it sound like a troll still, if that makes sense. I started to answer it in my usual way, then I was like, wtf is up with some of these questions?
I think this is a very cool little city, obviously. But I don't get why people would think of moving here from Nova without even bothering to come down for the weekend, or google "vietnamese restaurant Richmond". I mean c'mon now.
The EDM question on the other hand is a good one. I wouldn't tell anyone interested in a SoBe like club scene to come here.

I mean I think people moving here is good for everyone, but I do understand the counter viewpoint. I think the way to keep income diversity is things like ADUs and zoning, though.
It's pretty bad when a moving post has me going wtf. I don't even think this guy is trolling, though I want to. But this is right up there with "tell me why I should move to Richmond, even though I've never been there"

Reply to comment by hipscrack in Possible Move From NOVA to RVA (Questions) by PeanutterButter101
yeah, it is the only time I've been salty at a moving post I think.
perhaps I misread it, but some of the stuff in the question is the worst of Nova. I mean "do we have reliable internet and greek food" is like a troll. This is the sort of thing that justifies all the people who get riled up.
as for the back, years ago... par for the course.

I would have guessed we had a larger than average LBTQ community for the size of the city? Maybe it's just where I live and who I know, I haven't seen stats. I will say I have a number of gay friends who moved elsewhere and then moved back because they like RVA so much.
I'm amazed at the level of snark this guy isn't getting so far actually. Do we have greek food and internet kind of comes across poorly. Throw that on top of "I'm WFH home from Nova" and it's like lobbing a hand grenade at the sub
Charlesinrichmond t1_j85m0r5 wrote
Welcome. I think people people moving here is great for the city. That said, the way you asked this prepare for an onslaught of snark. A lot of people feel that Nova people are swamping the place and pushing them out of a place they love. This will elicit all sorts of online crankiness.
That said, most of them moved here from Nova too ironically. Half this sub lived in Nova at some point in their lives.
That said, there are some really silly questions. Do a search. Greek food? Pho? Internet? Jesus dude, we are a major city, one of the 50 largest economies in the world by GDP. Did you mean to go on a West Virginia site or something?
Richmond will suit you to a T. It's completely queer friendly. It's accepting. It's more open than NoVa, though bear in mind half the population used to live in Nova so... All the other stuff, don't be ridiculous.
Though EDM clubs don't exist or suck by accounts (not my thing). It's a brewery city (my thing) not a club city
Visit or ask one of your friends who has moved down.

Reply to comment by groundcontrol3 in A rare look inside (the slow) work to rebuild Richmond’s Fox Elementary School by Charlesinrichmond
that's a crazy take. And a lot of parents at Fox are not affluent after the rezoning.
So yes, I think there was a need to call out how incompetent the school board is being here, and not just accept it
