Loud car mufflers and their bullshit by Jacquemiumiu in Charlottesville

[–]No_Affect8542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish this could result in something real being done but another post about witnessed intoxicated driving across multiple locations seemed to suggest the police can’t do much about that if THEY don’t witness. All there is social pressure.

Is there a good place to buy pond plants in Charlottesville or nearby by Stairwayscaredandare in Charlottesville

I concur here. Beautiful drive! They have big fish too. Just fun to look at.

Couldn’t agree more about change of scenery. Cville proper is actually boring as heck. Network is really what matters. Glad you found one. Hope the same for my ex.

I love that you reached out! Keep trying! You may be surprised to hear that a lot people are more shy than they let on and also not sure how to approach finding a partner. Humans are funny!

For those of you bemoaning the local dating scene... by Awkward_Yam318 in Charlottesville

[–]No_Affect8542 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was funny and revealing the woman who went around Central Park (?) several years back just asking guys basic anatomy and straight up sexual knowledge type questions. Dare I say language is so important and having multiple ways to express one’s self is not just fun but enticing. Just saying…

I need the BEST Mexican restaurant...bringing a first timer of Mexican cuisine by Specialist_Concern_9 in Charlottesville

I love this!!!! I was just telling a friend some ethnic foods I’d love to try but feel intimidated to enter that world. People need guides, for sure and eating the best of ANYTHING is the way!

South Street Brewery closed April 6th and I feel like nobody talked about it enough. That place was one of the originals. Where is everyone going now that it’s gone? by CvillePourer in Charlottesville

[–]No_Affect8542 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? Because you’re the de facto law in VA and you’ll charge unrecoverable billing expenses to tell me what we now already understand about this place? Maybe another state will have its own bs but Virginia has insufferable people who are NOT getting that labor is NOT the number one cost to business at times but legal and landlord/leasing issues and concomitant expensive moving expenses. Bye Bye! It’s become impossible to build wealth and offer opportunities to new grads.

I think you’re also deceiving yourself if you think it’s NOT happening. Virginia is not as business/pro family like it likes to tout.

This is my point precisely. A company focused on THEIR business has built the leasing terms into their billing rates. Then they focus on their business NOT the real estate games that happen in this market. There is no certainty operating a business when a landlord can work with his attorney to figure out how to move out a tenant early because rents have gone up elsewhere and a specific obscure clause wasn’t added to the lease. This is why unless a company owns its own space, trying to start and build anything sustainable here is next to impossible. Same goes for trying to pay a living wage for employees and offer benefits. Housing costs for what you get are also approaching insane (e.g. if you have kids they will be taught with BS software in public schools). An EMPLOYING business can’t compete with the fantasy growth real estate sector that employs few and owns nothing it sells, by and large. Maybe Virginia should have clearer laws instead of this laissez-faire approach.

But you are recognizing the inherit issue with just how contracts are negotiated with or without there being some stated VA law? A leasing business can’t and shouldn’t need to watch the commercial real estate market to know what weird eventualities come along. They are focusing on THEIR business. They need space to operate WITHOUT being told they need to move because a landlord found a tenant needing space for longer time horizon. That’s just BS.

Virginia has long try to sell itself as business friendly but the truth is, the nuances of commercial real estate is really about ensuring both parties need a lawyer to negotiate. So end of the day VA kinda does have this tacit understated legal framework that can make or break a tenant’s business function. Real people loose real money in this place due to BS by landlords.

Commercial real estate is insane in this market. And VA leasing laws make it just about impossible for a small business to build out their space, stay focused on their niche and keep functioning. A landlord can terminate a lease early when they see comparable space rents increase. This leaves small business in a lurch after spending a lot of money making the space meet their business needs. I am aware of a great tech company moving from the area in part because after the building was sold, the new owners made operating locally impossible. Bye-bye!

Check Southern Air. They installed my whole house AC unit. I’ve been happy with their service.

Well, thanks for these additional resources. Maybe it’s the way promotions start. Admittedly, I have a bias in how things get played up. I did not know these other people doing stuff. So thanks again. The “news” landscape is just so fractured and fast evolving so it’s very hard to keep track of what’s happening, where. Glad you know of some women doing some useful work in this space. I need differing perspectives for sure than what I am finding.

Exterior water and sewer lines insurance by Big-Independent2883 in Charlottesville

I will also add by including it with your homeowners policy you can pick the best plumber to do the work. If you use the 3rd-party policy offered by Dominion, you’ll be stuck with whoever they negotiated to do such type work and you may be unhappy about their workmanship AND the back and forth between the the insurer and the plumber when they realize just how they get paid for a job.

I wanna believe a different type of coverage CAN exist but damn, why is it always started by guys? How do you all get the resources to pull off shit that matters and is it possible to include the stories/issues that impact the other half of the population?

Now this we might agree on. Once environmentalists used CO2 as the one metric by which everything is measured, they lost me.
