After declaring a housing crisis, the Virginia capital’s city council voted against a proposed manufactured home warehouse that would distribute replacements for aging manufactured housing stock.
Richmond opened City Hall as a warming center on Christmas Eve and will again on Christmas Day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., but there's concern over what happens once the daytime warming shelter closes.
The City of Richmond could soon join a lengthening list of localities no longer telling business owners and developers how much parking their properties must provide. @yitgordon reports:

Richmond City Council has rejected a proposed pay plan for police officers and firefighters, at least for this year.
At a budget meeting Monday, some council members and city officials expressed concerns that the new plan hadn’t been vetted. It was crafted by members of the fire and police unions and submitted to the city earlier this year. While three council members proposed budget amendments to begin funding the new pay plan starting January 2022, a majority of the nine-member body formed consensus around budgeting $100,000 for a third-party study of the plan, instead.
