[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA and Charlottesville appear to want to strangle each other at this point. I don't think significant expansion is in the cards.[/quote] Apparently, they hate each other. Charlottesville residents complain about the high housing pricing driven up by UVA students. But why is not that great for Charlottesville? [/quote] Because Charlottesville has affordable housing and budget problems. When UVA acquires land it goes off the taxable base. Charlottesville can't annex land in Albemarle. UVA student housing off campus crowds out other city residents. They are moving to Albemarle. The city wants higher density housing to help with affordability. UVA has opposed this but the city just approved two huge 12 story buildings directly adjacent to the grounds over UVA objections, which was pretty much a huge screw you message. [/quote]
