Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· 3d For Northside #rva schools, below is a breakdown by school
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· 7d #rva has increased taxes for schools in the past (meals tax) and we built many new schools: river city middle, Henry marsh es, Richmond high school for the arts etc. This new proposal builds upon that work. The meals tax will be reduced to make up for the sales tax increase.
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· 7d A dedicated revenue source would help us break the cycle of disinvestment we’ve been trapped in. A great learning environment is key for student and staff morale and safety.
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· 7d Our maintenance needs are high and we don’t get enough to meet all the needs, despite the city’s best efforts.
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· 22d The Homes for All Neighbors Coalition is made up of many organizations, especially affordable housing organizations like ProjectHOMES, Better Housing Coalition, and Habitat for Humanity. The focus is on preventing displacement so that there are homes for all! www.homesforallourneighbors.org
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· 22d So what changes should #rva make to zoning laws?
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· 22d #rva Zoning has long restricted how much, and what type of, housing gets built and it's contributed to limited supply and skyrocketing housing costs. This is pushing people out of the city.
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· 22d Most #rva folks are renters yet most land in #rva is zoned for single family homes. We need to make zoning more flexible to build more housing and more types of housing.
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· 22d Zoning has an ugly history all over America and definitely in #rva.
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· 22d I'm attending the #rva zoning reform event organized by "Homes for All Our and Neighbors."
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· 26d VCU Institute for Contemporary Art hosted the #rva Muslim Heritage Festival today! An amazing showcase and celebration of culture, history, food, music etc.
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· Jul 7 These are some proposed cuts. These are all painful! There aren't any easy choices when cutting a public education budget.
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· Jul 6 We are now discussing the need to cut #rva public school fy27 budget by almost $9 million due to getting less state funding than we anticipated.
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· Jul 4 Stay safe out there in this capitalism induced climate change dystopian heat
Ali Faruk@alifarukrva· Jun 4 The power of Gangrel compels you!
