Dairy Market Development Shows Hypocritical Nature Of Charlottesville Area Activists And Socialists
As I type this, socialists and activists in Charlottesville, Virginia are trying to crush the next phase of Dairy Marketās development. My friend, an insider with established development connections, explained it best, āThis behavior gives the City a horrible look to anyone wanting to develop housing in Charlottesville.ā
Socialists and activists are describing the next phase of Dairy Marketās development as āA Modern Day Vinegar Hill.ā Frankly speaking, that description is insulting to the 158 Vinegar Hill families (almost all African American), the one church and the 30 businesses that were displaced near downtown Charlottesville in 1965 during urban renewal.
Dairy Marketās development does not displace a single person. Instead, it transitions asphalt parking lots and antiquated buildings into 400 apartments or housing for roughly 600 Charlottesvillians.
