Oella Mills (outside old EC) has gas.

Make sure any place you get that has a gas stove hs externally venting fans for the stove and oven. It's not uncommon for apartments to cheap out on that, but in small enclosed area (like an apartment) that can be really unhealthy.

I don’t get Chen’d campaign. Nearly everything he posts is incredibly vague and generic with no specifics. He has also avoided addressing LGBTQ issues by being the only candidate to skip the CARY forum and to not fill out their questionnaire. Chen also made some very troubling comments at a recent candidate forum where he essentially blamed poor students for receiving free and reduced lunch. My impression is that Chen is a pretty conservative guy who is doing everything in his power to conceal those positions.

You do you.

My comment was intended to be focused on the process rather than yours or others emotion.

We just went through a redistricting and above anything else, the process was extremely flawed, where many felt that their voices haven't been heard.

The entire school system is way over capacity. We elect folks who take bribes from developers. By the time that school opens, it will be at 130% capacity and if your kids are lucky they can spend hours on a bus each day traveling to any random school.

Clarksville also has a couple of great townhouse communities, with lots of walkable restaurants, etc., great schools, and very accessible to Columbia (some parts of Clarksville are under Columbia Association). But like everyone else has said, budget and school considerations are relevant.

Or simply buy a home in one of the many non-CA neighborhoods in Columbia. Kings Contrivance, for example, has a couple neighborhoods with no CA, despite being very close to the village center. But there’s a lot to like about the CA neighborhoods, such as the bike trails and probably more of a community vibe.
