City Council is considering offering a hefty tax break on the real estate taxes for new constructing in certain areas with a high number of empty lots, “including North Church Hill, Carver, and Highland Park”. With around 1500 vacant lots in the city, the possible 100% exemption on real estate tax for 5 years could be expected to lead to 200 new homes per year. [via]

Y’all wanna see my underpants?

The RTD takes a look at the controversy surrounding hanging your clothes out to dry:

“I call my clothesline my solar dryer,” said Lisa Taranto, a green activist and director of the community Tricycle Gardens, who hangs laundry outside her East Broad Street home. [...] Opponents, however, see clotheslines as flags of poverty that create eyesores and devalue property. “They’re unsightly by most people’s standards,” said Jeanne Bridgforth, a Realtor with Long & Foster in Richmond. “It gives an atmosphere of decline. You don’t sense you’re in a well-heeled neighborhood when you see people hanging their laundry out to dry.”

Cat missing around 32nd and Broad

missing cat

Contact Linda at lwikete@gmail.com if you’ve seen Sophie:

Her name is Sophie, and she’s a Bengal. She’s pretty small and is used to wandering around but always comes home after a few hours. I live at 32nd and Broad and she usually stays pretty close to there. She wasn’t wearing a collar or anything, but is friendly. I’m offering a reward if anyone can tell me where she is. Oh, she went missing last night (Friday).
