Truthfully, I only have anecdotal evidence.. as I know several people who have quit RPS to head to the counties. Their answer to both was - the job is chaotic and they werent paid enough to deal with the stress of it.

RPS always a step behind.

Yeah we need new teachers... but they need current teachers to stop quitting to go to better school districts.

Boomer humor fails to get a laugh once again.

They spit on vegan stuff.

Unfortunately it wasn't cheap. Cant remember the quote byt the city budgeted a good chunk of change for these traffic calming measures. And it's also the cost of a guy closing lanes to reinstall them multiple times a year.

I love how it always comes down to "they bribed the other guy instead of me" with these guys.

A coat of paint on the crosswalk would do more.

Lol. Funny thought and obviously that's not what I meant. But it's easy to leave large vehicles and equipment on site and take shuttles to the small lots for employees when you're working for months on end in a neighborhood laying underground.

Person asking for service would imply consent to come on the property. But I'd be pissed if they abandoned their vehicle for 3 days after a service call and I get in trouble for towing it.

If I was dominion I'd just start selling off my fleet parking lots and telling employees to just leave the vehicle at last service call.. and you could do it Friday to Monday with that law.

>I'd be pretty livid if I came home to a utility truck in my driveway or yard with no explanation or anyone around clearly working on something, doubly so if it were left there for days at a time.

I was actually surprised by this veto. Considering how dominion owns most of our politicians, I expected youngkin to give the Dominion Empire whatever they desire.

Veto 1 - "SB 1051, would allow utility companies and broadband service providers to park their vehicles on private property temporarily without the owner's consent and prohibit property owners from removing or towing the vehicle for up to 72 hours." "This bill violates the fundamental rights of property owners" - Youngkin

Veto 2 - HB 1536, sponsored by Del. Clinton Jenkins, D-Suffolk, requires the Department of Human Resource Management to update the Grievance Procedure Manual to require the Office of Employment Dispute Resolution to review and issue a written decision when a party fails to comply with the grievance procedures. This bill passed unanimously.

Veto 3 The third bill, SB 1085, sponsored by state Sen Adam Ebbin, D-Alexandria would direct the State Police to convene a work group to look at the issue of vehicle noise. This bill passed with margins well above two-thirds. Youngkin said the bill is unnecessary because the General Assembly made it a primary offense -- that is, sufficient reason for a traffic stop and ticket -- to drive a vehicle with an exhaust system that's not in good working order.

. . .

Youngkin also sent 78 bills bills back for amendments or technical changes.

"Don't Kill the Vibe on Robinson"

The city prefers expensive solutions that dont actually solve the problem.

This way, they can pay someone to go around and re-do them constantly.

Colonial Whites.

It's actually newer than the shitholes around it.

Most of the segregationists who moved there years ago migrated further west.

I lived in the fan then near Stuart and meadow. Rode home from school and could see the smoke. Went up in the roof of the house and you could see the flames towering over the fan.

Biggest fire I've ever seen in person.

The real tragedy are the people in carver who's homes were affected.

A lot of people think it's okay to kill people. Sad state of the country.

Place was decent in the 90s.

The Eatery is the only good option now. China Panda has been mediocre for a decade too.

I have friends who had better luck in more advanced states like California. May be worth looking outside of Virginia. We are mid level when it comes to caring for our own.

I know it's a cost barrier but you may be able to fly somewhere and get out of your comfort region.

Keep up the good fight.

Keep looking. They already stole from you with the application fees.

This warm few weeks we've been having... followed by a hard freeze is going to really fuck up the insects... thus the birds etc. Not good.

I almost got hit on my skateboard 1000 times over the years. But never there. You start at the top on Parham and carve down into the parking lot.. so you had to wait for traffic to clear. Though there was way less traffic then.

Dang I didn't think this would bum me out like that. Used to skateboard and ride my bike thru that tunnel all the time as a kid.

Unfortunately, franchisees and their insurers don't factor Michael Hildes when making their decisions.

Nor do kids stealing candy bars. They mainly factor violent crime... which greater Manchester suffers from.
