Aaaaand we have reached the part where Stomp says that black neighborhoods have the lowest crime and the best schools and if you post a fact disputing his lies, you are racist.

Seriously, stomp, why not just work to fix the problems instead of lying? What the hell is wrong with you?


I've actually been on the front lines working to make this community safe since the 1990s. And we've made a lot of damn good progress, including finally running out a derelict councilman and school board member who were just fine letting NW HSV rot while the rest of the city flourished. We pushed for not only improved infrastructure and increased development, new homes are being built, and a we've improved community/police relationships.

The area is much safer than it used to be. Is it crime free? No...no where is, regardless of what anyone believes. But I understand that perceptions last longer than realities. The tired, outdated idea of this area being disproportionately crime-riddled is just that...tired and outdated.

Would you care to join in helping further? I can point you to areas of need.

As far as the thread topic goes, I'd recommend checking out the subdivision off the south side of Shields Road, tucked under the hillside and close to Monte Sano. Very quiet, nice homes ~3k sq.ft.

Also there are nice newer subdivisions off Winchester close to the Walmart headed to New Market.

That is admirable.

Yes. I actually would appreciate suggestions, as the area close to me is ignored by elected representatives who seem to only focus on their own micro neighborhoods, rather than the larger areas they represent.

I was honestly surprised how much better that part of the city was looking last time I was in town visiting family. Whatever you guys are doing, keep it up.
