Serious answer is near the section 8 housing (the “courts”) in the East End. Some of the areas around Mosby Court are decently close to the VCU hospital and still have options <300k.

Someone who moved here last week and someone who’s lived here their whole life are both completely valid in being concerned about escalating violence

I spent about $60 on supplies and tried about a dozen times before giving up. I’ve scoured the internet and there are no fat-free whipped cream recipes.

~$400/mo for one, but I'm a god damn trash panda. I very rarely eat out, and when I go out I usually eat at home first and then just get drinks. I can't justify restaurant prices anymore.

One trick - I've saved money eating out by pre-calculating prices. Like "oh, I can spare $12 for a chicken sandwich! But let's see... fries aren't included, so that an extra $5, then there's 10% tax, 20% service fee, service fees (unlike regular tips) are taxed, so $22.44... never mind"

I do have an uncompromising addiction to fat-free Reddi Whip whipped cream, which is about $50-60/mo of the grocery bill. I could get it for about $5/lb in 2021, and is now ~$11/lb.

Do you know you can book flights today for future seasons?

Ok provide a link to an international flight you can book then

Yes, I’m responding to the assertion that “RIC does have some seasonal international flights”, which is false.

Yes, I get that. But there is currently no international commercial service that you can book.

There are no scheduled commercial international flights out of RIC.

EDIT: Instead of downvoting me provide a link to a commercial international flight you can book.

If you're looking at the Church Hill area, make sure to visit first. I have a house a 10 - 15 minute walk from the medical center across the Leigh St. Bridge in Church Hill.

The proximity to the hospital is great, but the area abuts a huge swath of section 8 housing (Mosby Court), and many people tell me they feel unsafe around my house after dark. I hear gunshots occasionally, see porch pirates regularly, and fireworks are late into the night *every night* from ~Memorial Day to ~4th of July.

If you walk 2-3 blocks north or east it gets a even worse, and 2-3 blocks south it's very cozy and much safer, so if you're going to be east of the hospital in the city please visit and get a feel for the block and surrounding area first.

Came here looking for this comment, disappointed in how far I had to scroll. I honestly think most people have lost the rough map of the city people used to keep in their head, and just rely on the GPS
