The comments in that article are a wild ride. Looks like lots of blue blood Richmonders lamenting the loss of their precious monuments. I know a couple of people that fit that mold, but I don't ever hear these complaints in the circles I run in.

I had a couple family members move out of the city because of the monuments coming down.

Embarrassing. Their loss though, as their former home values skyrocketed in the year following the sales. Now they live in the county and the new properties have actually decreased in value since they moved out there.

I remember my coworker wouldn't go to Charlottesville because they tore down the Lee statue... Those kinds of people are out there.

I always get a sensible chuckle when they talk about how the city is a war zone filled with roving gangs.

Like, how do these people get through life when they think anything “edgier” than going to Cheesecake Factory in Short Pump is inherently dangerous?

These are the people who consider Olive Garden "ethnic" food.

Ironically I only hear it from people from Goochland. And on here occasionally.

People did move out of the fan because of the riots. But others moved in.
