Homer Simpson once said, “Lord, we're especially thankful for nuclear power, the cleanest, safest energy source there is … except for solar which is just a pipe dream.” Gov. Glenn Youngkin agreed — in July, at a press conference, he said something very similar and followed it up by recently facilitating a deal between Amazon and Dominion Energy that promises new nuclear power plants in Northern Virginia. While Youngkin has tried to frame these deals as a benefit for the economy and those in it, these plants will not actually be providing cheaper, cleaner energy for regular civilians. Instead, these are plans from which Youngkin stands to gain political capital and tax revenue. In short, Youngkin is trying to entice data centers to move to Northern Virginia for his own political gain, and presenting this to the taxpayer as a service to the citizen is deceiving.
In December of 2023, the Charlottesville City Council approved a revised zoning ordinance, designed to combat the housing shortage in Charlottesville. Key changes to the ordinance included expanding the number of multi-family residence zones and prioritizing affordable housing and economic diversity in a process known as upzoning. The decision was hotly contested, with some particularly disgruntled locals, including three professors from the University filing a lawsuit against the City of Charlottesville. The crux of their argument was bureaucratic in nature — a cover for quality of life concerns — and as of right now three of the four counts have been thrown out, with a ruling on the fourth coming soon. In the meantime, the City is allowed to continue operating under the guidelines of the new ordinance. One year removed from the drama, the current progress being made signals optimism for the future of Charlottesville’s housing market.

As the weather turns colder and exams draw nearer, students on Grounds are increasingly unable to wrench themselves away from their course reading materials.

Students that are swimming in assignments may be itching to get away — and the residents of the University’s Language Houses know that there is no better form of escapism than a story that journeys across both national and linguistic borders.
