Thinking about the duplex that was converted into a single-family home with no review or public input, versus the year’s worth of steps you have to go through if you’d like to build more than two homes on a lot. Seems bad!
I am 110% sure that no one in Charlottesville complaining about developer teardowns has ever said a word about older, (relatively) modestly-priced SFHs being torn down to build gigantic, high six-figure SFHs.
Our NIMBYs have actually no problem large, three-story residential structures, as long as they are for a single (rich) family.
Also just recently learned that another one of the big “keep multi-family housing and apartment buildings out of my neighborhood” types was illegally renting basement apartments to students. Scratch a NIMBY, find a landlord who wants to keep supply as low as possible.

a 5:35am train from Richmond to Union Station is great. if you could get an earlier return train (say about 4:30) then this would make for an ideal commute.
state needs to increase service on the roanoke to DC line, which i think is in the works.

watching SHATTERED GLASS for the first time while i work on a piece and this shit is stressing me out like you can’t believe
just the scene of them dismantling the hacker story over the phone made my skin crawl with discomfort. and hayden christensen brings a neediness and a smarminess that is incredibly effective.
it’s funny, watching this, it is very clear that with better direction and a better script christensen would have nailed the kind of character anakin skywalker was supposed to be

can’t have little brailyn and hunter thinking that their black classmates are people like them reuters.com/world/us/criti…
my general feeling about this stuff is that if black kids can experience racism at young ages then white kids can learn about it
also you can see the full list of books and objections here and my somewhat considered take is that "moms for liberty" are primarily concerned with shielding children from anything that might paint the united states as an unfair place. drive.google.com/file/d/1Sfpkq4…

rewatched MALCOLM X earlier this year and it’s been said before but that is just a staggeringly great performance
my only quibble with matt is i would swipe out “out of time” for “crimson tide”
what’s so great about denzel’s career is that you could make a dozen lists of “greatest performances” and there might not be any overlap between them

i keep repeating myself on this but the fact that this was a live possibility means we’re already in the danger zone and that a repeat is more likely than not
whatever you want to believe man
the point isn’t that it was *likely*. the point is that a formerly ceremonial part of the process is now a site of political contestation. something that was not “possible” — in that it was understood as outside the rules of the game — is now possible.

you might want to read a little further than that
“Under whatever guise, however a Jefferson Davis may appear, as man, as race, or as nation, his life can only logically mean this: the advance of a part of the world at the expence of the whole: the overweening sense of the I and the consequent forgetting of the Thou.”
“To say that a nation is in the way of civilization is a contradiction in terms, and a system of human culture whose principle is the rise of one race on the ruins of another is a farce and a lie. Yet this is the type of civilization which Jefferson Davis represented.”
