It's not appropriate to approach people at the gym/spa/doctors office or other places where you'd expect some degree of privacy. A public park is fine.

The new multi story condos in SA from StyleHomes are selling really fast and they start in the low 400's, and that makes sense to me. The Stanley Martin Homes behind Whole Foodshave been selling slower, but still selling. It's a great starter home for high earners or middle class people with two incomes who can't afford the sq footage they want in nicer neighborhoods.
I'd love to know who buys the shitty construction 10+ years later too though. The one in the Museum District that's had black mold since the 90s seems to change hands a lot but anytime I google it it just looks like a ton of shell companies. I haven't spend enough time backing into it but would be curious if anyone else knows. Just seems like a giant waste. I wish the government would offer more FHO incentives to the better condos the way they do to SFH to help lower income people get into better, more permanent housing.

New apartments construction is done exponentially more cheaply than townhouses/condos, and is not intended to last. Edited my comment because I'm talking about people who are buying housing, not renting it.

People who can afford (edit: to buy) new construction do not want to live in apartments or 800 sq ft condos.

They took surface lot parking in a desirable neighborhood and put up high quality, high density housing that matches the surrounding esthetic and RVA Reddit will still bitch that doing that costs money...

Lol I read your comment as they shouldn't be allowed to - I agree it would help other kids learn if you can remove the children that are perpetually problematic

Didn't Ireland just blankly ban abortion before that bill? I'm not Irish so not super familiar but if that's the first time abortion was allowed it wouldn't be anti choice

Amtrak is very unreliable, but if you book in advance you can get tickets to DC for as low as $10
Richmond to Ashland you should Uber if you don't want to drive

It's in Shockoe Slip which is Richmond's business district, lots of office buildings. A lot of the places there are restaurants around lunch time and then college/early 20's bars at night.

Ashland is a small town 30+ min from Richmond, the young people there are all RMC students who do college student things like play sports and throw house parties on the weekends.

No. Black Hand Coffee Co. said they wanted to keep the curfew in place during the George Floyd protests because there were rioters vandalizing local businesses, if I remember correctly it was soon after his windows got smashed in with bricks. Here's the fb post

Lol Costar is neither. It's a data company similar to Bloomberg or Nielsen.
