NOVA is the most unfriendly avoiding place I've ever lived (Richmond: housing, rich)

Thats the Ghetto of Richmond. You picked Richmond's ghetto and post pictures and say thats what every part of town looks like.

Yes, very unbiased.

LOL, don't take anything those two say seriously. They enjoy yanking each other's chains.

After you move here, you should consider going down to Richmond sometime to check it out. It's a cool place, there's lots to do there, and it's very pretty in places. (Which, BTW, is also how I feel about NOVA.)

There's dumps through out richmond really, ive seen most of the city. Southside, northside, church hill, highland park......The fan area is alright, same with the short pump area. But seriouslly, it is a dirty area, you cant deny that.

I'm too lazy to post all the beautiful spots of Richmond, but that certainly looks nothing like where I live.

That yellow house is the ugliest house I have ever seen LMAO.

If you dont live in in Richmond what would make you an expert on what it looks like? No one visiting even a few times can learn to see it for what it really is.

I have spent my entire adult life in Richmond. I have lived here 11 years and I have seen many more beautiful spots in Richmond than bad ones.



These are more pics of Richmond:

Richmond has the most stunning architecture and it also has cool places like Maymont Park and Byrd Park, etc.

Those pics aren't representative of the city/suburbs. You just found the worst pics you could find and posted them

Ok, thats great. I have been there dude I dont like the area. Just like I dont like Little Rock, Birmingham, Gary Indiana, Saint Louis, Baltimore. Like I said ive been to the major tourist area's so anything you have seen that you mention, I have most likely seen. Its nothing personal, I just dont like the area. I dont like Nova either. I do like a majority of NC, GA, FL ( which allot of people dont). Im not a Richmonder sorry.

I wouldnt say 1% for Richmond city. A few blocks north of the Model Tobacco building there is massive abandonment. There are ten blocks between this point on Jefferson Davis Highway and it's intersection with Hull Street; that intersection is the largest in the south side of Richmond. On these ten blocks, nearly every building on this side of the road is abandoned, whether residential or commercial.

There are the North Ridge Apartments near Highland Park in North Richmond. Its a 114 unit apartment complex that has been closed.

Those are just some examples

There are nice parts of Richmond, but im not exaggerating.
