We have CHPN website here and on Facebook, RVA which covers Church Hill, Nextdoor covering Church Hill, and I am sure other Church Hill sites outside of the CHA. What will make this Facebook site different that isn’t already covered by all of the others already in place? Thanks.

I am happy to heat this news. The Church Hill Association, AKA CHA, is too inbread, elitist, and more interested in maintaining the status quo than being above board and open.

The CHA does not represent Church Hill, but is more interested in promoting special interest projects and agendas. Minutes of meetings are heavily edited, and no agenda is published for meetings. The illusion of an open community organization is just that, an illusion!

I have been accused of being a trouble maker. I am very troubled when the CHA takes certain actions in secret and does not inform the membership!

Kind of John to publish this for Matt Daly. I’ll stick with CHPN for all of the hard work John has put into providing the highest quality community news site in RVA! It’s a labor of love, from someone who is way more involved in the CH community than most of the rest of us!

To be clear, I think this a good thing.

Not too different from NextDoor (which I’ve shared on here a few times), except this might get more traction. There is definitely room for an unstructured, non-hierarchical community space in this whole miss-mash.

Plus, anything that connects the neighborhood and makes info easier to share makes my job easier 🙂
