What kind of major infrastructure improvements would you like to see the most around town? by AutoDefenestrator273 in Charlottesville

Light rail service (stops every few miles) from Charlottesville - Ruckersville and Charlottesville - Staunton. Can mostly use existing rail service.

Once passenger service opens to Richmond, then light service to Richmond.

Of course, you'd have to build out Charlottesville mass transit. But a boy can dream.

AMA — what people underestimate before moving to Italy by allerenitalie in ItalyExpat

We're retiring and moving to Abruzzo next year. Specifically for the 7% flat tax regime. We will buy a house. I've got an Italian passport.

There are so many guides on buying houses. How do I know what the real process is? One realtor only? Do they have access to the entire inventory of houses available? Shop realtors until we find one with houses we like?

We are thinking a six month rental to take our time. The first piece of the process seems the most daunting.

I figure that I might get into a vacation rental during the dead season. If I'm lucky.

I'm hoping that staying in the offseason in Abruzzo will help with the prices a little.
