I'm speechless, Russ!!! :rofl:

Quick!  I'm going to dig up some more good news about Richmond before you revert to your old ways!

How about the new Manchester project to start in a few weeks?  Four 12-story apartment houses and other major developments across the James from downtown?  Just announced last night.  :)

Sounds exciting. I need to head over to the Richmond threads. :thumbsup:

Praise Allah, someone who had the balls to say what I was too nervous to say. I think it's because I've been jawing endlessly about Newport News development so I didn't want to look like a party pooper.

I do love Richmond though. I can't wait to move back, actually! :D

If you want a dose of nostalgia, mercuex, go to SkyscraperCity site, scroll down to the third section, hit "southeast", then search for Richmond - RCW style. Just remember that the SSC site reads from the bottom up in their peculiar chronological way. Yesterday, someone on the HR site posted SSC's discussion (with great pictures) about Norfolk's skyline versus Raleigh's. :)

I promise, Russ, this is my last high-jacking! :lol: But you have to admit, I always include some praise about HR in my sneaky insertions. :)

Hahaha im neither a trader nor traitor. Is it a crime to like Richmond? All my friends here are potheads or screwing some fat girl from high school. I'll talk to you all day about HR development though.

While you Richmond hijackers/forum terrorists are still here, any news on the RIC streetcar stuff? That would be some sweet crap.

You know I just realized that this forum is the MOST active during business hours!! After we all go home posts just drop off... LoL ... maybe its good the business community doesnt know about this too much ... haha

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah I sit in front of a PC all day for work so that is my main reason, but when i get home i check the site too. I'm like the talking about the development to much. Maybe I should get in something like urban development like coupe said. Maybe it would be a good minor or something. :wacko:

Yeah ... I was going to do a minor in Urban studies but after a few classes I realized it was more about the social aspect ... like homeless issues and why we all need to be socialist, etc. Wasn't for me. I care about the homeless and such but I'm not a fan of land/income redistribution like my profs.

By this point I had transferred to the business school and started taking real estate classes. Good stuff. Only problem was that I realized I would have to redo all my core classes if I wanted to graduate with a Real Estate degree. Got out. Now it's more a hobby. I figure I'll just try and get rich and do some development eventually on my own.

I want to get into some kind of developmenting of neighborhoods down the road too. Don't know if i will ever have that kind of money but urban planning does throw in political bias and such. I hate when you take classes and professors try to cram their political agendas down your throat. I always argue with professors about that too. I'm an engineering student so its far from urban studies.

No kidding. The trick is to quote Marx a couple of times and use phrases like "so-called 'democracy' " and "anthrocentric, heteronormative paradigm" and "american socio-capitalist imperialism". Works wonders.

It's not that I'm far right or anything. I'm actually an independent and though I vote Republican, I vote dem sometimes too. My roommates both work for the dem party. I just am sick of this fringe crap from my university and the People's Republic of Richmond (at least it was before wilder lol).

I'm on the right but don't always agree with them. It sucks that you have to be one or the other. I don't like what Bush is doing with the immigration thing and letting Mexico push us around like they are. I can't believe Fox had the nerve to say that he thinks Mexico should have input on our immigration policies. Who the hell does he think he is. I have no problem with people that come here legally because most of our blood lines came here through that process.

Oh god you said it!!

Vicente Fox knows that if we actually make it so illegals are treated as people who break the law, that he'll be losing a major source of cash infusion. Did you know that the amount of $$ sent over to Mexico from emigres totals more than our annual TRADE with Mexico? Intense.

Look, my mom is an immigrant and my dad's side immigrated in the 20s. I have no problem with immigration, but if Mexico is going to sodomize us, I don't feel like we should be dropping our pants and asking "please sir, I'd like some more".

I think it's bullcrap that Mexicans who come here legally are treated no better than the ones who circumvent the law. Worse in some cases. It's a freaking disaster.

Besides, what do we get back from Fox? Not much. He's considered "on the right" in Mexico but he hasn't done nuts to support our foreign policy and actually, instead, pursues a policy of active obstruction in the UN. Some pal.

Anyway, that's my rant.

I agree, my Grandfather was born in Germany but they came through here the right way and he was raised in South Philly. This is not a race issue of some sort at all, which those on the left try to make it. When you put water in the desert doesn't attract more people to jump the boarders? Isn't ashame that the minute men deturred more illegals than the feds?

I know. I don't blame the INS Joe who is doing his damnedest when his own government is actively undermining his job. Not only do they keep them from having the numbers and firepower to keep Mexican border gangs from crossing with impunity, but our government policy aims just to make their jobs more difficult. It's really an untenable situation. I swear to god it's going to take a huge terrorist attack from converted Mexican Islamists for the feds to do anything logical.

I want immigration to happen, but this unabashed support by media and tacit nod by the government to illegals will ruin this country.

You mean the ACLU! It seems that these illegals have more rights than we do sometimes and they are draining our welfare system down.
