Time for Friday’s Big Question . . .
Perhaps the most interesting post I made this week was about how Charlottesville is no longer listed in Money Magazine’s 100 Best Places to Live. About 2 months ago, the cover article in The Hook posed the question– Has Charlottesville Jumped the Shark? My question for you is this:
What is the impact of Charlottesville losing coverage in the popular media?
Just in case you were wondering, find out what it means to Jump the Shark.

It is time for the next Big Question, so here it is:
There have been a few stories recently regarding real estate development and its effects on the Charlottesville area. My question for you, dear reader, is the following– What should Charlottesville area localities do to balance the increase in development with the need to maintain the quality of life that attracts people here in the first place?
Be sure to post your comments, and check back on Monday to read my take.

And now for something completely different. . .
Every Friday, I am going to pose a question to you, my dear readers. My hope is that you will reply with some answers in order to spark a little healthy debate. Then, on Monday, I will throw my hat in the ring as well. So, on to this week’s topic:
There has been much talk about what is obviously a slowing national real estate market. There has also been much talk about what have become regular interest rate increases by the Fed. My question for you is:
To what extent, if any, are the rising interest rates responsible for the slowdown in the real estate market?
Post your opinions all weekend long, and then check back on Monday for my own two cents.
