But they are rich homeowners. This isn't vilification. It's just a description.

Having an expensive home doesn’t mean you’re rich.
You could have a mortgage on it, could have bought it when it was cheaper, which itself can be a problem with taxes and rates, or inherited it.
People can find themselves locked into an expensive property, or are in a position where it would be stupid to sell.
Yet again people on Lemmy demonstrate that they don’t comprehend wealth in the slightest.
None of these homes are outrageous for a skilled tradesmen to own. If you track wages and inflation this is what middle class looked like in the 70’s.
The rich occupy a completely different economic strata to these home owners. You have zero clue.
They are not Bezos-rich, but for Charlottesville, Virginia, they are rich.
I would put good money on them being rural properties with historically low value, given this is all over an expansion project.
But what’s still clear is that you have zero understanding of wealth.
Why would rural homeowners be filing a suit about a 10 square mile town they don’t live in?
The population density for Charlottesville is over 4500/sq mile. Nobody there is living rurally.
