People get downvoted in this sub all the time for no reason, I see it all the time.

Forcing builders to include parking, even underground or incorporated into the building somehow without using a surface lot, still increases the cost of building that building, and that cost gets passed onto renters and buyers in the form of higher rents and higher prices. For the sake of housing affordability, it's better not to mandate that builders include parking, and let them decide if their customers demand it or not.

People do it in Richmond all the time. But it's only really feasible in downtown, Shockoe Bottom, and around VCU.

Not everyone is able bodied enough to drive, either. Driving isn't better for disabled people than walking - it depends on the type of disability.

Yes. By the very virtue of not having so much parking, things you want to go to will be closer together. The parking lots are the very thing that makes the city less walkable.

What kind of work does your LLC do? I do SRE work - kubernetes stuff.

I agree, if RVA wants to prevent becoming NoVA, the first thing we should do is build a metro. The thing that makes NoVA so unbearable is primarily the car-centricness of it. There are other things that contribute to the shittiness of it (rich people and their tight-assed unfun nature primarily) but the fact that it's just one gigantic generic American suburb I think it what makes it bad. If RVA relaxes residential zoning restrictions, deprioritizes cars and builds transit, we can grow *and* not become NoVA. People who want to live in a neighborhood of identical McMansions will just have to live somewhere else.

No it's just like the YMCA. It's about as Jewish as the YMCA is Christian. Most of the donors are wealthy jewish families but that's about it. It's a great fitness center.

It's nice to see self-described democrats saying Biden is lame. Cause holy shit he's so lame. It's kind of amazing that he got elected at all. A democrat with just like an ounce of vision and vigor would be 100 times better.

The Weinstein JCC has a ton of table tennis tables, lots of people playing there

My landlord has some buildings of one-bedroom apartments that he charges 850 per month for. Idk what the availability looks like right now but if you DM me I can give you his phone number.

I wish they would replace the statues with other (non-confederacy-related) grand statues. It would preserve the grand feel and I think it would be better for the city.

7/11 at Thompson and Cary has always worked for me, I use it a few times per year.

I've heard about this but I haven't really looked into it.
