Something wrong with Richmond Virginia?

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, sorta.

  • 311 is a shit show. You have to pretty much get involved with your local government officials to get literally anything done, otherwise you can just live with your pothole.
  • City officials have had a hard on for a minor league baseball stadium for fucking YEARS. They asked Richmond citizens for their vote on it, and every single time people said fuck no. It's $110 million that could have been used to repair crumbling infrastructure, provide support programs, add additional affordable housing, repair our busted streets....noooo, why do that when we can go to a fucking minor league baseball game. Good idea Stoney. It's getting built by 2026. That'll for sure bring in money Stoney. Wonder what sort of kick back he's getting as he's only been pushing it for like 5 years.
  • City officials also hard a hard on for a casino to bring in additional "needed money" that they planned to throw in absolutely terrible locations. No one wanted it. I think we had to vote it down like half a dozen times. Petersburg, a ~~crumbling ruin~~ struggling town is now voting to add it. Just what it needs.
  • Look up the history of Jackson Ward.
  • Shcokoe Bottome still has buildings were destroyed in the flood back 30 years ago that have yet to be revitalized (but a fucking stadium is fine, right?)

Thats just off the top of my head. Love it here though. Just....lots of annoyances.

don't forget the statewide ban on pornographic material. granted it was mostly as anti-lgbt hate speech, but it banned like all sorts of shit including pornhub and it's subcompanies, several textbooks, etc
