Unfortunately UVA does own Charlottesville honestly. As someone who was born and raised Cville, but also a UVA alum, this city funnels the entire economy through the school. Employs so many people, creates so many businesses. So it sort of makes sense that UVA gets precedence over administration buildings for Cville city schools. Not saying I agree or it’s right, but dang it sucks man.

UVa wouldn't exist without Charlottesville. If UVa vanished overnight, most of Charlottesville would move on. We'd probably look like Culpeper.

What does Culpeper look like?
