For those of you who dont think mapping out the addresses of convicted sex offenders in your area is enough ( http://sex-offender.vsp.virginia.gov/sor/ <- for those of you who haven’t already ) I present you with crime analysis of Albemarle County based on the 500 (reported) crimes committed between January 1st and May 11th.
The vast majority of these crimes were theft crimes, making any analysis of the types of crimes committed pretty irrelevant. The focus here is location. Find yourself … or, find your crime if you are a villain in every sense of the word.
I hope this has helped cure the insomnia of the worried… Unless you live on East Rio road in which case you should probably move… Enjoy

If you haven’t heard of the Bubble Blog, it’s the antithesis of the Charlottesville Real Estate Media machine. The people who run it are anonymous from what I can tell. As fellow Villains, we were immediately attracted to their mission “for bemusement purposes only, it’s a small contribution to the zeitgeist.” We discovered many things which are well worth the read. Between real estate agent denial, BULLMONT, it NOT being a great time to buy for 99.9999% of the population, I am very excited to share this amazing interview with you.
We put on the masks and met in a secret lair. I cannot tell you details about the Bubble people behind the mask, but I can share with you the responses which may outsnark some of our very own Villains. The questions are below:
- When the Charlottesville housing bubble bursts, will we be wet, slimy or greasy?
- Why do realtors lie about housing in Charlottesville being HOT right now? In my neighborhood, prices have come down over 15%. How is that hot?
- When our homes fall into the giant hole in the economy, what are your survival tips? How many guns do you own?
- Are you smarter than Jim Duncan? Are you Jim Duncan’s Nemesis
- What’s the most ridiculously priced house and/or neighborhood in Charlottesville right now? What’s the best deal?
- Anything else you want to say to our readers?
Get ready for the responses, this one is a doozy.
