Thank you!

I don't get it- A friend that swore by them had me try it in C-ville. Bland chicken tenders, with frozen crinkle-cut fries from a bag. The only thing I can figure is that people get a nostalgia trip back to when they were three and Mommy made the "Fun Dinner".

Also: The sauce ain't that great, and adds an insane amount of calories, fat, and sodium.

Reply to comment by Lamidala6 in RVA YIMBY kick-off meeting, Saturday at Ardent Brewing. "Yes in my backyard" pro-housing meetup. by DefaultSubsAreTerrib

That article fails to provide any realistic alternative. The best it can muster (in the final paragraph):

>There’s no reason why good public housing can’t be built. It is done elsewhere successfully. (See, e.g., the remarkable Vienna model or the public housing success of Singapore.)

I don't even need to start reciting the laundry list of problems with public housing or with RRHA or the issue of funding. I'll merely point out that zoning laws prevent public housing from being constructed nearly everywhere in Richmond.

You might enjoy this article. Among other things it addresses the Singapore model: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2021/01/14/four-reasons-why-more-public-housing-isnt-the-solution-to-affordability-concerns/

Reply to comment by bruxalle in Can we make better use of the Free Community Library boxes around town? Stop leaving your books on the ground in the rain! by heats46

It wasn't in the box, it was littered on the ground. OP's comment was about using the box rather than dropping books on the ground. The previous commenter was simply requesting that donations be of higher quality material and maybe books that aren't (not even mysteriously) sticky.

Well I emailed and they said if the joists aren’t making ground contact it might require one but wtf does that mean like I have to put bare wood on the ground to not be permitted which seems unsafer than using sunken concrete deck stones
