Goldman droppign out

With Goldman dropping out of race for Mayor, I'm at a bit of a loss as to who to support. Say what you will about Wilder, but I liked watching the 6PM news when "crazy white man" would let loose thought balloons into the air to test the waters and see what the city was interested.

Take for example the city school system. Massive capitol improvements are needed, and let's face it, we can't afford them. Goldman stands up, and says hey, let's close a lot of schools, build a few large mega modern facilities, and reap in the savings with better management of fewer facilities.

Or Stadiums. Why the hell should the city incur a ton of debt and raise my taxes to pay off a new stadium for county parents to take their kids to and high tail it back to whatever ticky tacky community they put their seed to bed in? I can understand my taxes being higher to support a K-12 population that's more disadvantaged, or providing more social services for people who need them, but to build a stadium to attract team that's just going to hit up city for more stadium improvements or threaten to leave? I'm not sure we need that type of corporate welfare.

Why destroy the character of Richmond to build the downtown versions of Twin Hickory or Brandermill? Aren't these single families going to live out in the counties near where they work, in close proximity to their Targets, Best Buys, malls, and Ukrops?
