I’m thinking that they’ll get along just fine in the planning stages; actual implementation is where the system falls apart .

How do People Commute in Charlottesville and Albemarle?
Mostly by car .
The American Community Survey, conducted from 2005 to 2009, shows that 59 percent of Charlottesville residents drive by themselves to work, as well as 77 percent of Albemarle workers.
On a related note, I’ve been looking for updated Journey to Work data for a couple years now, but haven’t been able to locate it anywhere . The most recent datasets are from 2000 , and I have a feeling that human settlement and commuting patterns have shifted since then.
Albemarle County Board of Supervisors’ about to get (more) Interesting
Lindsay Dorrier won’t be running for reelection .
…Mallek, a Democrat, announced earlier this year that she would run for re-election in November. … Boyd’s term ends this year, but he has not announced whether he’ll seek re-election. … I hate that at this level of politics, party affiliations matter.
Monday Links – 21 March 2011 – Short sales, good news, real estate radio & inconsistencies
– Good News for the Charlottesville/Albemarle economy – Two Vacant Manufacturing Plants get Tenants : CustomInk and Indoor Biotechnologies . – Podcast of last week’s radio show on Coy Barefoot’s Charlottesville – Right Now! … If you have 15 minutes, please give it a listen; I’m curious to know your thoughts. (especially about my explanation as to why the Days on Market numbers in the MLS are crap). – If you’re working with an out-of-area agent, you’re doing yourself a disservice (and the agent is opening him/herself up to liability) – If you’re thinking about buying a short sale (with Bank of America), watch this video . … What will the impact be of the Matterhorn SeaStar? – Some really quick, brief perspective on the Charlottesville MSA real estate market, in my attempt to ascertain (and educate about) where we are right now in the Charlottesville real estate market: Listed between January 1 and March 20, 2011: – 1194 in 2011 (down 11%) – 1335 in 2010 – 1437 in 2009 Put under contract between January 1 and March 20, 2011: – 499 in 2011 (down 5%) – 528 in 2010. – 405 in 2009. Closed between January 1 and March 20, 2011 : – 306 in 2011 (down 17%) – 369 in 2010 – 237 in 2009 – I heard from another Charlottesville Realtor yesterday who had met an active buyer that the reason they didn’t buy last year is because they read this blog.
Crozet Struggles With Growth – Now a Lack of Implementation of Promises
The Road to Somewhere (Nowhere?) raises questions, as do rumored roads .
Albemarle May Have a Higher Tax Rate
Snow told supervisors this morning that he’s willing to support a tax rate of 75.2 cents per $100 of assessed value, up from the 2010 rate of 74.2 cents. … Rooker, an independent, proposed the rate increase to provide funding primarily for about a $1 million local transportation fund that could be matched with state funds, doubling its value, and about $450,000 to provide the first year of annual financing of a new Crozet library. I’d be inclined to support this if I trusted the politicians/bureaucracy/system to dedicate the increased revenue to specific projects. But I don’t.
