Wow. The things we're never told, and that the people in control never want taught. 😞😞😞

The hate towards our people is ridiculous.

Very sad to hear, the disrespect is opposite of the love we all deserve from one another. But I must say, as I’m old now, I am also offended__by a younger generation who have no taste, no bond or respect for history. I have seen my darling small town just run over by their tear down and build different attitudes. It seems endless.

Virginia University isn’t the only one. Cornell University, Yale University that I know about, doing what they want, taking what they want, but I know there are other wealthy corporations, towns, roads, cities, universities, etc. doing it because they can.

This is horrible. I wish this stuff never happened. Their is so much land in the USA.and so much unused decapitated complexes that they could have rather used instead of destroying this community. Terrible. Esp from a university that should know better imo.
