It's the garage that's going to be the issue imo. And possibly the second full bathroom.

How do you like Randolph? I was thinking of getting a place by the Jones park.

House shopping so my entire day will be dedicated to obsessively checking redfin for more properties to be put on the market. 😩😩😩

Looking around Fulton and I'm a bit surprised to see for sale homes at 370k 🫠🫠 I expected that for Churchill.

Hmm ok this is good to know. My main thing about neighborhood is that I really do want some nice aesthetics and to be able to walk to a park. Montrose is new to me but I don't mind looking around neighborhoods to see my options.

Thanks for letting me know about the trains and gunfire!

I have to keep reminding myself it's only March and we just got into spring. I've only been looking for a week, I'm just impatient 🤣

Go tour some houses and hope I can leave the purgatory of home buying soon.

Anyone got thoughts on Fulton Hill? I don't know much about the neighborhood except that it's close to Churchill.

I'm looking for a neighborhood with trees, where I can have easy access to a coffee shop and good dog walking streets. And semi close to the airport and under 400k. Any recs?

Richmond is not Austin. I grew up in Dallas with multiple trips to Austin throughout my life. I also lived in Austin in 2015-ish when you could still get into SXSW for free shit.

Richmond is missing a lot of what made Austin, Austin. So decades.

Maybe All Dog Adventures. If you call and explain they'll let you know if they can help. They do classes but also 1 on 1 for assessments.

Lived in SK 2007-2011, both in Seoul and the countryside. Korean isn't hard to learn but the pronunciation was always tricky for me. I sounded like a 5 yr old speaking. Good luck, have fun!

This is the closest to me. But I'm asking for anyone who has tried it to give me their thoughts.

But am I incorrect in stating that conceding is not required by law? The winner is the person who wins the most votes per the law. So the act of conceding doesn't legally impact the election. Many candidates do not actually concede, particularly in small, local elections, mostly because no one is listening.

I'm not stating anything about if the candidate should concede, I'm just saying they aren't required to.

Conceding is not required for the winner to win. It's theatre to concede rather than having any legal meaning or impact on the race.

They likely used RCV because he may have been the best choice presented. They did the same for Amanda Chase to make sure she didn't win the nomination iirc.

When you register to vote that info is available to be sold to candidates and other voting orgs.

You could always talk about not doing gifts at all. In my family only children get gifts 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Had a solo Thanksgiving (even put the poodle in boarding for the night 🐩). Cooked myself my own Thanksgiving meal and even though it was just me, I still ended up with too much food. Got to test some new recipes and all around very happy with the result. Played Fire Emblem for most of the day 🔥

Isn't Blanchard's coffee from Richmond? I've never looked to see if it's sold outside of VA in stores.

Nope. If you really want an AB store it's worth it to drive over to NoVA.

If you're still answering questions, I'm thinking of selling and leaving RVA but I'm unsure if now is smart. I don't live in a popular area (outer edge of church hill) but my home is a starter home so sub 225k and only 3 yrs old. Or if waiting until spring would be better.

Reddit city subs always talk about the worst of a city. If you have street smarts you'll likely be fine. Taking the same precautions you'd take anywhere will do a lot for you. You're going to vcu and living on campus or in the vicinity of campus so I'd be surprised if you end up in a "dangerous" neighborhood.

Also keep in mind bad things can happen anywhere.
