That’s already a high crime area
I am a 69 year old veteran with chronic COPD living on a VA pension in a 2 bedroom apartment 1 1/12 bathroom with the rent constantly increasing every year and the utilities are not included in the rent. It is very hard living on a fixed income. I would love to have a nice place for my wife and I to live so she can stop working as she is 65 years old and not in the best of health herself.
Private South Richmond dog park will become public to avoid closure
