Charlottesville was, for one week, the capital of Virginia. Who knew? #
An organization named The Police Protective Fund is calling people in the area soliciting contributions. I got two calls today. The Police Protective Fund is a scam and one of the worst-performing “charities” in the nation, giving virtually nothing to police. Don’t give them a penny. #
I don’t know what’s worse, that Danville Jews have to drive three hours to Giant in C’ville to stock up for Passover or that the woman in charge of the Passover seder at Agudath Sholom Synagogue describes the Giant to the Lynchburg News and Advance as “Mecca.” I just like that they have Kedem brand apple juice for $1/bottle this time of year. #
Realtor John Woodriff was asked by a client for a list of all four-bedroom houses for $200k or less in Charlottesville and Albemarle. He found two. The median price of homes sold in the area in the past four months is a staggering $345,000. #
The Board of Supervisors’ Rio District representative David Slutzky proposed allowing rural landowners to sell their unused development rights to growth-area landowners back in October, with the caveat that localities aren’t currently permitted to authorize that under state law. That changed with HB2503, introduced by Del. David Toscano. Gov. Tim Kaine just signed that bill into law, Jeremy Borden writes in the Progress, meaning that the path is now clear for transferrable development rights (TDR) in Albemarle and, in fact, throughout the state. It may not matter, though, since the BoS has thus far been entirely uninterested in the proposal.
