We believe in supporting all the little things! That's why we advocate for single-stair buildings, townhomes, duplexes, triplexes, and buildings of all shapes and sizes. All of them are housing solutions. Thanks to Jon Jon the Happy Urbanist for this sketch! #urbanplanning #raleigh

This whole thing is so good 👏🏻 “Those who oppose new housing, or who look askance at denser development as somehow ideologically distasteful, are supporting a fundamentally anti-human, anti-growth policy, without even intending to.”

🚨 Advocacy opp! VDOT has created a plan to redesign the W. Main / Ridge intersection to improve traffic flow + provide protected bike lanes and many pedestrian upgrades. It’s not perfect but it’s WAY better than what is there now, and it’s designed to get state funding to get it built.

Wow. The agenda is up for the 10/20 Council meeting... and it includes a settlement agreement in the White v. Charlottesville case. The city will prepare a Traffic Impact Statement by the process in 24VAC30-155. In exchange, the plaintiffs will drop the case against the new zoning ordinance.

Policy Briefing Summary
City Council
Regarding: Resolution Authorizing Agreement to Settle White v. Charlottesville
City Council
Staff Contact(s): John Maddux, City Attorney
Presenter: John Maddux, City Attorney
Date of Proposed
Action:
October 20, 2025
Issue
Whether to authorize an agreement to settle White v. Charlottesville City Council, a lawsuit challenging
the legality of the zoning ordinance adopted by the City Council in December of 2023.
Background / Rule
In January 2024, several community members filed a lawsuit challenging the new zoning ordinance
adopted by City Council in December 2023. Over time, the case narrowed to two main questions:
whether the City was required to send certain traffic information to the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT), and whether the City gave reasonable consideration to factors required by
state law when adopting the ordinance. Although a trial was scheduled for September 2026, the City
and the plaintiffs have reached an agreement to resolve the case. Under the agreement, the City will
provide the requested traffic information to VDOT, and the plaintiffs will withdraw their lawsuit. As long
as the City meets its obligations, this agreement will bring the litigation to an end.
Analysis
The City remains confident that it would ultimately prevail in this matter. However, the cost of
discovery, trial, and potential appeals would be substantial for all parties, and any litigation carries
inherent risks. This proposal, where the City will provide certain traffic information in exchange for
dismissal of the case offers a practical and cost-effective path forward. Accepting this resolution will
avoid further litigation expenses and provide clarity and stability for the City’s zoning ordinance.
Financial Impact
Funds will be required to complete the necessary traffic studies for submission to VDOT, and these
costs are expected to be meaningful. However, they are anticipated to be substantially lower than the
costs the City w…

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is made effective as of the date of the last signature hereto (the
“Effective Date”), by and between G. EDWARD WHITE, SUSAN D. WHITE, ROY VAN
DOORN, KRISTI VAN DOORN, THOMAS J. HILL, Trustee of the Thomas J. Hill Trust, u/a
June 1, 2005, as amended, KEMP P. HILL, Trustee, of the Kemp P. Hill Trust, u/a June 1, 2005,
as amended, JENNY CLAY, MICHAEL BEVIER and LILLIAN BEVIER (collectively, the
“Claimants”) and the CHARLOTTESVILE CITY COUNCIL (the “City”), each a “Party” and
collectively, the “Parties.”
REASONS FOR AGREEMENT
Claimants have asserted various claims against the City in that action filed in the Circuit
Court for the City of Charlottesville styled G. Edward White, et al., v. Charlottesville City
Council, Case No. CL24-25 (the “Lawsuit”). In the Lawsuit, Claimants’ operative pleading is
now the Amended Complaint, filed on or about December 30, 2024. The Amended Complaint
contains two Counts, and alleges that the new zoning ordinance adopted by the City on
December 18, 2023 (the “NZO”) was void ab initio for, among other reasons, the failure to
submit the NZO to the Virginia Department of Transportation (“VDOT”) pursuant to Virginia
Code § 15.2-2222.1(B) and the associated Traffic Impact Analysis Regulations set forth in
24VAC30-155-10, et seq. The Parties enter into this Agreement for the purpose of resolving the
Lawsuit.
TERMS
For and in consideration of the mutual promises and commitments specified herein, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by each Party, the Parties agree as
follows:
1. Preparation of Traffic Impact Statement. The City agrees to prepare a VDOT
Traffic Impact Statement (“VTIS”) pursuant to requirements of 24VAC30-155-60. The City
shall contact VDOT to request a scope of work meeting pursuant to 24VAC30-155-60(B) (the
“Meeting”) within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and shall comply with the elements and
scope for the VTIS as required by VDOT. Prior to the Meeting, unless …

A few thoughts on the Jack Jouett primary. @sallyforsupervisor.bsky.social won for a few reasons: first, she had better ideas. Pro-housing policies are very popular! County politics often get stuck in the mud and she figured out how to navigate them in a forward thinking, results oriented way.

A sign at a protest reads “you lost” next to a Confederate flag, “you lost” next to a Nazi flag, and “you’re next” next to a MAGA hat.

this story is just a great illustration of NIMBY nihilism. at core, these people have no vision for anything. they simply oppose change for the sake of opposition. (i also think there is an element of death denial here — if i can prevent all physical changes i can deny the reality of my mortality)

BREAKING: Judge Trevor McFadden, appointed by Trump in his first term, issues a preliminary injunction ordering the Trump admin to rescind its decision blocking AP access to the Oval Office & Air Force One. McFadden found the admin issued an unconstitutional viewpoint-based restriction on the AP.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
ASSOCIATED PRESS,
Plaintiff, v.
TAYLOR BUDOWICH, in his official capacity as White House Deputy Chief of Staff, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 1:25-cv-00532 (TNM)
MEMORANDUM ORDER
About two months ago, President Donald Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. The Associated Press did not follow suit. For that editorial choice, the White House sharply curtailed the AP's access to coveted, tightly controlled media events with the President.
The AP now sues the White House chief of staff, her communications deputy, and the press secretary (collectively, "the Government", seeking a preliminary injunction enjoining the Government from excluding it because of its viewpoint.

Today, the Court grants that relief. But this injunction does not limit the various
permissible reasons the Government may have for excluding journalists from limited-access
events. It does not mandate that all eligible journalists, or indeed any journalists at all, be given
access to the President or nonpublic government spaces. It does not prohibit government officials from freely choosing which journalists to sit down with for interviews or which ones' questions they answer. And it certainly does not prevent senior officials from publicly
expressing their own views.
Case 1:25-cv-00532-TNM Document 46 Filed 04/08/25 Page 2 of 41
No, the Court simply holds that under the First Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalists be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhere- it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints. The Constitution requires no
less.

IV. CONCLUSION
For these reasons, it is
ORDERED that Plaintiff's [27] Amended Motion for Preliminary Injunction is
GRANTED; and it is further
ORDERED that
1. Defendants shall immediately rescind the denial of the AP's access to the Oval Office, Air Force One, and other limited spaces based on the AP's viewpoint when such spaces are made open to other members of the White House press pool.
2. Defendants shall immediately rescind their viewpoint-based denial of the AP's access to events open to all credentialed White House journalists.
3. This preliminary injunction shall remain in effect until further order of this Court.
4. This preliminary injunction issues without the requirement of any security bond.
