Good Tuesday afternoon, guys. My name is Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us on the I Love Seville Show. Today's program is locked. It's loaded. It's crammed with content that you will find compelling and conversational. We're going to talk about the Brew Ha Ha Brewing with the University of Virginia doctors. The anonymous doctors, the anonymous employees of the UVA Health System have now hired their own legal counsel to represent them in what is a political crossfire with the university itself. This story is just beginning.

The brouhaha is just brewing. We said this was going to be one of the most significant stories in University of Virginia history. And it's proving to be an accurate prediction. On today's program, we'll talk Election Day. Do they see the sticker, Judah, on my chest? They definitely see it. Right next to the Robeck shirt I'm wearing, I voted this morning.

My wife and I voted this morning. We took the Bambinos, a 6-year-old and a 2-year-old, soon to be 2, turns 2 on the 27th of this month, the day before Thanksgiving, to the voting precinct, we somewhat bamboozled the bambinos by suggesting that Krispy Kreme donuts would be readily available at the voting precinct. Unfortunately, the bamboozled bambinos were bitter because the Krispy Kreme donuts were not there. However, they did see us exercise

one of the most important rights as Americans, their parents, who voted today. It's not about who you voted for. It's about making sure you vote. Vote, vote, vote. And it was, yes, very cool to watch our children watch mom and dad vote at their respective precinct this morning. A lot I want to cover on this program, including the Jefferson Council. Do you have council spelled the right way there, Judah? I don't think you do on the headline. It's Jefferson Council, my friend. It's C-O-U-N-C-I-L, if we can update

that, because the viewers and listeners are quick to correct us when we have a misspelling on the headline. The Jefferson Council is already offering coverage that the University of Virginia is going to raise tuition. I want to ask you a very straightforward question before I get into this storyline. How many more tuition increases can parents take? I mean, seriously, how many more tuition increases can parents take? And if we want to be frank, when the University of Virginia continues to increase tuition, especially for out-of-state students, and it starts flirting with $100,000 a year for tuition, books, room, and board,

you're basically admitting a student that is the 1% families from the 1% of wealth class. And if it's families from the 1% of wealth class that are coming to the University of Virginia, ladies and gentlemen, that will have lasting impacts and ramifications from a gentrification standpoint for Charlottesville, Alamaro County, and beyond. We'll talk about that today. On today's program, we'll talk about the Todsbury in Ivy, a building from the late Phil Delaney real estate empire, a building that has a condemned septic tank. The health department has condemned the septic tank. The roof is falling in. The walls are falling in. There are environmental concerns with the Todsbury on Ivy Road. But ladies and gentlemen, and this will be news you see in traditional media that watches our program for content for their respective broadcasts and news coverage cycles.

The Todsbury is now under contract. Ladies and gentlemen, you heard me correct. The Todsbury on Ivy Road is now under contract. Andrew Hardy, Frank Hardy, real estate partners, got this under contract. Someone tell Andrew Hardy we're giving him some props. A talented and very fantastic realtor, Andrew Hardy, excellent squash player. Maybe my second favorite Hardy that's out there. Frank, my favorite by a close margin, just a jolly, jolly man, Frank Hardy. I enjoy being around. A lot we're going to cover on today's program, including the town of Gordonsville. Judah Wickhauer, what is going on with the town of Gordonsville? They just had their trash

collector cancel trash service on the town of Gordonsville six months before the contract expired. The town of Gordonsville, in a fried chicken frenzy, it cancels a fried chicken festival and is being sued by fried chicken vendors that said, hey, you said the festival was rain or shine. We bought inventory and spent thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars on that fried chicken goods,

and then you cancel it and just tell us to eat the lost? Now vendors are suing the town of Gordonsville? At least that's the chitter chatter. What in the H-E double hockey sticks is going on in Gordonsville, Virginia? We'll talk about that on today's program. Also on the show, I want to highlight the very important topic, a critically important topic to the future of Charlottesville and Alamaro County. This topic will go a long way in determining the best outcomes

for our community. Judah, are you ready for this critically important topic? Where can you find the best tacos in Charlottesville or Elmora County? Tacos. Those are fighting words. I have some ideas where you're going to find the best tacos in Charlottesville and Elmora County.

But where you, viewer and listener, or you, Judah Wittkower, who has a voracious appetite, where are you finding the best tacos? Especially for tacos. I love tacos. One of my favorite foods, tacos. We'll talk about that on today's program. And for those that did not catch the Jerry and Jerry show this morning at 10 15 AM, you missed former Virginia basketball coach, Jeff Jones on the program. And he offered insight

in the Tony Bennett retirement. He said, there's not a chance in hell, and utilized the word fact, that Jason Williford knew that Tony Bennett was going to retire with that short of notice. I'll leave it to you, the viewer and listener, to watch this morning's interview with Jeff Jones. Because there was a lot said in that interview as it applies to Tony Bennett's retirement, surprise retirement from the University of Virginia. A lot. You can watch it anywhere you get your social media or podcasting content. Jude, I want to give some love to 60 consecutive years in business. Charlottesville Sanitary Supply, can you give them some love on screen? Charlottesville Sanitary Supply, John Vermillion, Andrew Vermillion, Andrew Vermillion,

60 consecutive years of business for this third-generation family company on High Street. Charlottesville Sanitary Supply, doing business the right way, the honest way, the communicative way, making relationships with clients and customers. It's not about the transaction. It's about the relationship. Charlottesville, sanitary supply. We got the black screen of death over there going on. Judah, what's going on, producer? Here we go.

Oh, my goodness gracious. That's a faux pas learned in broadcasting school, a no-no of significant proportions. Why don't we go to the two-shot and welcome the director and producer of the program. You're going to vote today? 100%. I don't need to know who you're going to vote for, but you're going to vote today. I wouldn't tell you.

You're going to vote today? Yeah. Okay. I go after work. I've never missed an election, and going after work, I've never waited in line. Excellent. I usually just walk right up. Nobody there.

Give them my ID. And in and out in like a minute and a half. Same thing happens when you go just after 7 a.m. in the morning with your wife and your bambinos. The exact same experience for our family. All right, I ask you the same question every day. Which headline is most intriguing to you and why? Judah B. Wittkower, the show is yours.

Oh, hearing that the UVA docs have gotten their own counsel, I think that's pretty telling. I'm actually surprised that Virginia would not give them counsel. Why are you surprised by that? Because it's not UVA. It's not like UVA is saying, no, no, no. This is... You're surprised the University of Virginia would not spend its own money to give an anonymous group of people, 128 of them, that are saying the university is committing fraud and changing medical charts to maintain performance standards, doing upcoding? You're surprised by that?

But it's not UVA that's denying it. That's what I just said. No, I get it. Okay, finish your thought. And I know where you're going with this. I just think it's strange that we've, who is it, Mayaris? Attorney General. Yeah.

Denied them, denied the request to give them counsel. Bill McChesney, welcome to the program. Good afternoon to you as well, Mr. McChesney. We appreciate your support of the I Love Seville show. Kevin Higgins watching the program. Good afternoon to you as well, Mr. McChesney. We appreciate your support of the I Love Seville show. Kevin Higgins watching the program, he says it's very interesting that they hired outside counsel. He says that he thinks it's about to get real. I think it's also interesting that they hired outside counsel. Maybe the indication they don't trust in-house counsel. I mean, I would think it would be a matter of course that if you were in this type of investigation, you would want your own counsel. Over the past weekend, we had a doctor

write a letter to the editor of the Daily Progress, yet another one, firsthand perspective of what's going on at UVA Health. Now, the University of Virginia, which brought on a Washington, D.C. law firm to investigate allegations of criminal and unethical behavior at the university's hospital and medical school, now almost 40 physicians and faculty say they have hired their own legal counsel themselves, Gladstone Jones. That's a hell of a lawyer name. Gladstone Jones of New Orleans. His law firm, Jones, Swatson, and Huddle. He's going to be representing the physicians and professors while they are interviewed by the very heavy-hitting

Williams Conley law firm out of D.C. If I was a physician or faculty member at UVA Health and I was interviewed by a heavy-hitting D.C. law firm, I would absolutely have counsel present. A hundred percent. or a second that I would give to an attorney that's investigating claims of fraud, Medicare, Medicaid fraud, medical chart changing. I mean, we're talking about felonious activity here, whistleblowing activity. I would not give them a second, a minute, or an hour of time without my own counsel sitting right next to me. 100%. And that's called hedging risk.

I'm very intrigued by this story. Maybe we're putting this story at the top of the rundown. If you've got the lower third on screen, it's important we put those lower thirds on screen. We're at the tip of this iceberg. John Blair, I hope he's watching this program. 99.9999999% of what John Blair has to offer, I'm in pretty much lock agreement with. Same with Deep Throat, who I believe is in either Paris or London right now. Deep Throat. I know these men outside of this school, and they're men of reason. Mr. Blair said when this story first broke,

the Cavalier Daily published the letter of the anonymous 128. He highlighted on the talk show in the comments section, this could be one of the most monumental stories in University of Virginia history. We were in the midst of offering that commentary when he offered that comment. I lockstep with Mr. Blair. I think when this story breaks and this story continues to evolve,

this story has broken, as it continues to evolve, you will see a story that is more significant in historical importance, perhaps a better way of saying it, negatively scars the legacy of the university more than any storyline out there, including August 11th and August 12th. Maybe more significant in historical importance, I'm not saying for the good, than allowing women into the University of Virginia.

That happened, my dad went to UVA from 68 to 72. I think that happened in 1970, right around there. We'll follow this story as now law firms and attorneys are on either side, undoubtedly racking up cha-ching bills, Judah, of significant proportions. The lead of the show, as you put the election lower third on screen, has got to be about voting today. I'm not going to talk Harris. I'm not going to talk Trump. I will say this. Once the outcome has been decided, Harris or Trump, it's going to have impacts for Charlottesville, for Albemarle, and for Central Virginia. I encourage any viewer and listener watching the program to get the sticker I have right here on my chest, a vote sticker. Then I encourage you to go home today and watch on your television as democracy plays out. And my hope is within the next day,

we will know the outcome of this election. Am I convinced that's going to happen? Absolutely not. Do I think that this is going to be dragged on and challenged and challenged? Absolutely I do. Do I think that the best outcome for this election cycle is a divided federal government? Absolutely I do.

If it's a Democrat in the White House or a Republican in the White House, my hope is the Senate and the Congress are of the opposite political persuasion. Because a divided government is a government that runs best. Georgia Gilmer, watching the program. Doctors are jumping ship left and right. Dan has lost three of his in the last few months, a surgeon and a specialist. Georgia,

who is Dan to you? Is that the husband, your partner? She says, Dan has lost three in the last few months. I have also been told that doctors are jumping ship left and right. I want to ask you this question. You're 18 years old and you're thinking about going to college. You're the parents that are offering counsel to your 18 year old. Who would encourage their rising freshmen in college to get into medicine? Think about it. You're going to be in college or medical school, residency, fellowship for 15 years or more. You're going to come out a quarter million to half a million dollars in debt.

And you're going to be out a quarter million to half a million dollars in debt, and you're going to be a paper pusher. Less about care and more about pushing paper and transactions. Encoding. What's that? Encoding. Upcoding. George Gomer says, Dan's my hubby. You would remember him if you saw him from your bar days. Ooh, tough to remember those bar days. I appreciate that, Georgia. Neil Williamson,

today's election question, his photo on screen. I hope you're getting these people's photos on screen. Will there be contested races in Charlottesville and Albemarle in 2025? Contested races make better elected officials. That's a great question. What are the races up in Albemarle County in 2025, Neil? Offer that perspective for us. Is it Jim Andrews and the Samuel Miller District? Is his seat up in 2025, Mr. Williamson?

I do know in Charlottesville City Council, Brian Pinkston and Juan Diego Wade's seat are up. And Juan Diego Wade told everybody on WINA that Brian Pinkston was going to run for re-election before Brian Pinkston announced it himself. So we know B. Pinkston is back in the mix for a second cycle. I would imagine Mr. Wade is back in the mix for a second cycle as well. Would anyone challenge incumbents Brian Pinkston and Juan Diego Wade in 2025? If you were a betting man, would you say that B. Pinks and Juan Wade and W. Wade would have, J. Wade would have competition in 2025?

Yeah, I would guess that somebody will run against them. Who? When was the last time we had a, I don't know who's going to run. When was the last time we had an uncontested election? This past cycle. There was competition in the primary, no competition in the general. I guess you could call was competition in the primary, no competition in the general. I guess you could call it competition in the general if you're going to call Bobby Fenwick. Was Bobby Fenwick an independent when he ran? I think Fenwick ran as a dem because he was right there with D. Cooper. I don't think you're going to have a contested cycle in 2025. Who's going to challenge an incumbent, let alone a mayor and vice mayor incumbent?

Viewers and listeners, let us know your thoughts. Regardless, vote. Just vote. Then get home and watch what happens. Dennis Canton, Judah needs to get fired up on this election day. We need to see Judah fired up. Why don't we see fired up Judah? Who says I'm not fired up? This is, Dennis, Judah fired up. Why don't we see fired up Judah? Who says I'm not fired up?

This is, Dennis, Judah fired up. This is Judah fired up. I try to get under his skin with the talk show and get him a little riled up, but this is Judah. I respect that. I sincerely respect that. Consistent demeanor.

You know what to expect every day. Anyone should be so lucky to have a Judahwick hour in your life where you know what to expect every single day. I think that's what you want from your family, your friends, and your loved ones. I sincerely mean that, J-dubs. Ginny Hu, we appreciate you watching the program. Warrior AG says, Fiesta Azteca is worth the ride out west to Charlottesville to Crozet.

They have the best tacos and Mexican food around, and the cocktails are to die for. Is Fiesta Azteca the old Ivy Roadhouse? Because I concur, that place is the bomb. Their Mexican pizza is off the chain. Warrior AG, his photo on screen, says, that Gladstone Jones sounds like a character from the Wild Wild West. I thought the same thing, Albert Graves. Gladstone Jones, get him a six-shooter, a 10-gallon cap,

a 10-gallon cowboy hat, maybe some horse spurs. What are those things called on your boots? Are they horse spurs or just spurs? Just spurs. Just spurs? Get him some boots and some chaps gladstone jones pushes the the the the doors open what are those doors called when you go into the western bar the swivel doors saloon doors saloon doors that's what we're

going to call them spits his char is chew into the dip bucket on the ground and slings a whiskey. And then he goes in to represent the anonymous 128. We're going to talk about the Tosbury, Albert Graves, don't you worry. And yes, he shows a sticker of him voting. We love you, Albert Graves. Yes, Plaza Azteca, the old Ivy Roadhouse. Kevin Higgins has this to say, his photo on screen, the mayor of Greenwood, Gladstone Jones does not have a huge background in healthcare law. He's big in environmental law and commercial cases. I just read his first big case was VersaExon. He won. This is very intriguing. This is going to take an unexpected turn from Kevin Higgins of Greenwood. Todsbury, under contract, will talk about that. Viewers and listeners, let us know your thoughts and help us spread the gospel. That is the I Love Seville show. Judah, my friend, what is

the second headline of the program? Is it the Todsberry? No, the second headline is the brouhaha. Oh, we covered the brouhaha. So what's the next headline, my friend? That's the Todsberry. How about some breaking news for you? The Todsbury on Ivy Road, a Phil Delaney property, is under contract. Andrew Hardy of Frank Hardy, the listing. The Todsbury has huge potential. Huge potential. How many cars drive by the Todsbury every day? If I put the over-under at 10,000 cars,

I'd say it'd be right around 10,000 cars. And the traffic that's driving by the Todsbury every day, you're talking about the big money, the deep pockets, the cha-ching, the cash money. You're talking about that Ivy Quarter wealth. And another thing I want to highlight as it pertains to the Todsbury. From Boar's Head to Plaza Azteca,

it's almost a food desert. We live in this corridor. Where are you going to go for your beer, your wine, your grab-and-go food, your pizza? It's a food desert. I was having this conversation with a developer last week. We have a lot of developers that reach out to us to see what's percolating real estate-wise. Neil Williamson, I'm going to get to your comments in a matter of moments. And this particular developer said, what's percolating with the Todsbury and I made the comment

well Chris long had it under study period yes that Chris long had the Todsbury under study period and then backed away from it this was some time ago and part of the concern of why the Todsbury is not had a buyer sooner remember this particular piece of real estate that's in a very wealthy part of Albemarle County has been on the market for a long period of time, an extended period of time. Phil Delaney's passed away. And now the next generation of Delaney's, the folks managing the estate, the third parties managing the estate, are looking to move the property.

Whether it's that Afton Hotel, whether it's the Dirty Nellie's block that he owns in Fry Springs, whether it's that Virginia Oil property he owns across the street from the Boar's Head, where you see Danny's Upholstery located. I don't know how Hunter Wyatt's got that Hunter Wyatt State Farm little SUV parked out there, basically a billboard he's created by parking his vehicle there. Maybe he's kicking some rent, kicking some coin to Danny's Upholstery or the Delaney estate to park his vehicle there with this photo on it.

But Phil Delaney's got incredibly valuable property, but it all has a common denominator. You know what it is, Judah? No. It's crumbling. It's falling down. It's in disarray. It's unkept. It's like what happens when Jerry,

when my brother comes to visit, a UVA guy, and when he comes to visit from Los Angeles, my brother, who's got a little of that mischief still left in him, like his older brother does, says, I want to close the bars down on the corner. We're going to leave the children at your house, Jerry. We're going to persuade our better halves to stay with them. And you and I are going to Uber to the corner for a night of mischievous proportions. And we're going to start at Coupe de Ville's,

and then we're going to go from Coupe de Ville's to what is now Ellie's Country Club, the former Biltmore Grill. And from there, we're going to go to the Virginian Restaurant. And from there, we're going to go to Boylan Heights. And at every stop, we're going to have a couple beers and a couple shots. And this is after having a couple of beverages

from 4 in the afternoon on. The next day, both of us unkept. The five o'clock shadow is an understatement. We're cloggy with our head, headache ridden, we're pale white, and we're struggling to get out of bed. That's synonymous with the Phil Delaney real estate of today. The chitter-chatter in real estate circles is Dirty Nelly's is somewhat in peril. And why it may be in peril is because the proprietor of Dirty Nelly's, a guy I grew up with, Jordan Brunk, is being asked to upkeep the real estate in the building despite not owning the building. The chitter-chatter about the Todsbury is environmental concerns. The chitter-chatter about the Todsbury is the septic tank. The septic tank, a critically important aspect of a building, has been condemned. Condemned by the

health department. The chitter-chatter about the Todsbury is the building is potentially a tear down. It's under contract now. Now, you may ask me what would be a great business or a great reincarnation for the Tosbury. Judah, do you have any questions about this? Yeah, what would be a great reinvention of the Tosbury? God, you are so intelligent. Where did you come up with that? That is an absolutely effing brilliant question.

In my eyes, if I was the developer behind the Tosbury, I would partner in this purchase with an owner-operator. And I would have an owner-operator already earmarked or tabbed or handpicked. Maybe that's the case. Maybe that's not the case. Maybe this is what I do for a profession or a living.

And if I was the purchaser of the Todsbury property, the Phil Delaney, one of his prize holdings, I would go in and say, you know what? Before I buy this, I've got to figure out somebody who's going to run it for me, run what I'm going to do here. And I'm going to form a joint venture. And this joint venture is done with an owner-operator and with me, the money, the developer, the buyer.

And if we're going to do something at the Todsbury, maybe what I would do is something like the Batesville Market. Maybe you have some grab-and-go food, some pre-made stuff. Maybe you have a place to buy some beer and some wine and some other groceries. Maybe you have a small bar that's got three or four taps of beer and some wine and some cocktails. Maybe you have some live music, a little spot for bands to play. Maybe you have some pizza or some sandwiches and a little deli. Think about it as if it was a Tillman's on the downtown mall, rendezvoused and had a menage a trois with a Mona Lisa pasta and a Batesville market. If the Batesville market and Mona Lisa Pasta and Tillman's on the downtown mall had a menage a trois,

they could potentially birth the new business that would appear on the Todsbury site. And that concept, that business model, Judah, ask me how it would do. How would it do? It would crush it. It would crush it. It would crush it. If there was a spot in Ivy where you could get grab-and-go food, sandwiches made that could compete with Bel Air Market, a bar in the back that had four to six taps of local beer and wine and maybe two or three house cocktails.

Without coming to town? Without coming to town? Without coming to town and a small music venue where on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night you had live entertainment where you can enjoy the bar scene and the pre-made food, it would crush it. Maybe that's what's coming. But before it is manifested and materialized, they have to go from the stage of being under contract

to closing. And with this particular project, that is a long road, folks. You basically have it under study period. And if you find that septic tank is condemned by the health department, which is pretty common knowledge in real estate circles, at least the ones I run in, and you find that the environmental concerns are very prevalent, which is very common knowledge in the real estate circles

I run in, and you find that the building needs a completely new roof, new HVA system, and much of the building is in absolute peril and could be a teardown, the buyer and the owner-operator partner may say, wow, this is a big, big project and maybe too much for me. So let's not count our chickens before their hatch. But it certainly is news that the Todsbury, ladies and gentlemen, is under contract. And I want to give some props to Andrew Hardy for getting this deal, at least to this point, under contract. Next headline, Judah B. Wickhauer,

lower third on screen. Give me the headline and let's chitter-chatter, my friend. Jefferson Council. All right, you set the stage on this one, J-Dumps. Let me ask you a question. If you continue to raise the tuition at the University of Virginia, in particular for out-of-state students,

out-of-state students at the University of Virginia, room, board, books, tuition, 80 Gs plus, 80 smackaroos plus, 80,000 plus. If you start flirting with 100 grand,000 and room board tuition, Judah, who in the hell is going to be able to afford this? I have no idea. Let me ask you this.

If it costs $100,000 to go out of state to the University of Virginia per year, and your family is making let's just say 2X what the HUD household family median income for the Charlottesville metro area. 2X, that is what? $248,000?

$250,000 median family household income according to HUD in 2023? That family couldn't afford 100G. A family that has 300,000 in family household income, would they allow their scion, their son or daughter, to take a third of it off the top to go to school? No. 400,000 in household income. That's 25%.

Would you allow 25% of your household income off the top to go to the University of Virginia out of state? $500,000 in household income, 20%. Would you allow 20% of $500,000 for your scion, your son or your daughter, to go to out of state at the University of Virginia? What is the point where it's okay, yeah, we'll pay full freight, 100G, for our son or daughter to go to the University of Virginia? At what point is that? Is that $600,000? Is that $700,000 a family house? Because the point I'm asking, this is why I'm asking that question. If it's in the neighborhood of $600,000 or $700,000 for family

household income for a kid to get the yes from their parents to spend $100,000 a year, remember, that'll be $400,000, and we know it's going to go up every year. $400,000 to go to the University of out-of-state. You're getting the kids, the students, at the University of Virginia out-of-state that are from 1% families. And a lot of these 1% families, it's hereditary. It's inheritance.

It's money that's been in the lineage, in the DNA for generations. And this type of 1% money that would be coming to the University of Virginia will dramatically gentrify Charlottesville and Alamaro County. Because what we do know, and history is an indicator of this, that students that go to the University of Virginia, they love to come back to Charlottesville and Alamaro County. And they love to come back with Charlottesville and Alamaro County, and they love to bring their businesses and buy houses and change Charlottesville and Alamaro County. I went to UVA. I'm staying here. Now, we grew up middle class. My brother and I grew up in the copier room of my parents' accounting firm.

We were the... How would we characterize it? We were the family that had the father working the 85 hours a week, seven days a week. And the family that you cleared every piece of food that was on your plate and it didn't go wasted. And the family that shopped on the for sale rack, on the discount rack. I'm not saying we grew up in poverty.

Absolutely far from it. But we weren't swimming in the ducats. And you know when I realized that? I realized that for the first time when, because education was critically important for my mom and dad. Education was everything. And they busted their tails. I was going to use a bad word. I caught myself. They busted their tails to send my brother and I to a private Catholic school in Williamsburg called Walsingham Academy. Sisters of Mercy ran Walsingham Academy. And when we first attended Walsingham Academy and started maturing at Walsingham Academy, going through the ranks, the grades of Walsingham Academy, I realized then

the hierarchy of socioeconomics. There was a classmate of my brother's at Walsingham Academy that legitimately drove a fully loaded Hummer, his first school, first car, as a 16-year-old to school. That's crazy. His father owned like 27 fast food locations. I won't say which one because I think folks would be able to figure out who this person was.

There was a classmate of mine whose father was a two-time U.S. Open golf champion. Two-time U.S. Open golf champion. And here Jeffrey and I were growing up in the copier room of an accounting firm that employed my father and my mother. Yeah. In the copier room of an accounting firm that employed my father and my mother. But education was important.

We went to Walsingham. We went to UVA, and here I am, 16 years and change, self-employed in Charlottesville, doing my personal best to do well by you, our team, the families of the team, and my family. Unbelievable. Life has a way of going full circle. Jefferson Council, what do you want to offer over there? Then I'll get to the comments of the viewers and listeners. Well, they point out in the jeffersoncouncil.org that in December, the UVA Board of Visitors will once again be looking to approve another round of tuition and fee increases.

Doesn't mean that they necessarily will, but the article seems to imply that it's likely. They also point out that UVA has had several increases, not just in tuition fees, but they generated 21 million more in tuition and fees revenue in the 2022 to 2023 year than in the previous year. The 3.1% increase slightly exceeded inflation. In that same year, the Commonwealth of Virginia boosted aid to Virginia by 28% to make up for shortfalls in previous years. A $60 million, and they point out that a $60 million injection into UVA coffers, if applied to cutting tuition across the board, would have been sufficient to lower charges to UVA students by 8.7%.

UVA also saw a 10% increase in gifts, 21 million more, and their hope is that the Board of Visitors will take a look at the analysis and contest more increases. Before we get off this topic, thank you for that color and that background. Before we get off this topic, you have a University of Virginia who's led by Jim Ryan as ties to the Ivy League. And Jim Ryan and his cabinet want the University of Virginia to go deeper down the road of this moniker, New Ivy School.

They're embracing this moniker, this brand, of being a new Ivy League school, the University of Virginia. It's pretty good branding. It's a fantastic brand. But the collateral damage of being a new Ivy League school is increased tuition. On the flip side of the coin, you obscenely expensive to the point that only appeals to one percenters in their families because that's not what Mr. Ellis came from or

what he remembers at his time at the university. So you have this clash of perspectives and clash of titans. We'll see who wins. A couple of items from the viewers and listeners that are watching this program. John Blair on LinkedIn. Jerry Miller, I have heard there will be a contested election in the Samuel Miller district for the board of supervisors in 2025. The potential candidate could make a serious run. I take John Blair at his word because he's a very connected man. Furthermore, I know John Blair lives in the Samuel Miller district. No, I'm not saying it's John Blair that's going to run in 2025. However, I am saying that John Blair knows who the candidate is, and he's saying there's going to be a contested election and Jim

Andrews' seat when it comes up for grabs next year. He also says, you and others called this over a year ago. Ivy and that corridor is really becoming its own community as the downtown mall loses its hub status. Thousand percent agree. Ladies and gentlemen, from Ivy Provisions or Vivace Restaurant up until Plaza Azteca and Pro Renata. I think it's Fiesta Azteca. Fiesta Azteca, thank you. So you go from Pro Renata and Star Hill, Fiesta Azteca, the Todsbury,

Selvage Brewery, Vivace, Ivy Provisions, the Boar's Head, Bel Air and that quarter. And you're seeing that the Ivy and Crozet resident has more offered to them than ever before for their disposable income. Yeah. A deep-pocketed consumer is choosing to keep their dollars in Ivy and in Crozet as opposed to yesteryear's consumer habits of maybe coming into Charlottesville and the downtown mall. And that's to the disappointment and the suffering of the downtown and city merchant. But considering the lack of expansion in the infrastructure,

it's hardly a surprise. We know how hard a time Croissants have getting out of getting out of Croissants. Croissations. Croissations. Kevin Higgins, if UVA continues to raise tuition, the impact to ancillary businesses such as those on the corner will take a massive hit. He's 100% right. Friends of mine own businesses on the corner, and they said, Jerry, they're just not patronizing our businesses like when you passed out in the booths in our respective saloons while you were in college. Maybe I added a little bit to it.

Maybe I did not. Folks would love to see you fired up. I'm seeing multiple people putting that on screen. I don't mind a fired up Judah. I would love to see a fired up Judah. Albert Graves says, a lot of folks won't like this, but a sheet or a Wawa would kill it

within the Western part of Charlottesville between Bel Air Market and Fiesta Azteca. Like you said, food and beer desert. So a 24-hour shop to buy food and beverage and gas would absolutely boom. I've always wondered why the Scots Exxon on Ivy Road, and they own that property. That's one of the vast undeveloped, I don't want to call it undeveloped because it has the Scots Exxon on it.

I would say that it's not developed to its full potential. Underdeveloped i don't want to call it undeveloped because it has a scott's exxon on it i would say that it's not developed to its full potential underdeveloped underdeveloped that's fair i'm surprised by the folks behind scott's exxon why they don't do food and beverage why they don't do beer uh retail of some capacity they would effing crush it right there because you're having to leave ivy and probably go to bel-air yeah for your beer your wine and your goods joanne mackie of keswick why families will pay for top schools vanderbilt my daughter's alma mater is one hundred thousand dollars and more if uva wants to attract the teaching talent as well as providing a campus facility for all. Unfortunately, that's what it takes. Why out-of-state students will turn down their acceptance to UVA and go to Yale for

the same price. So she's in favor of raising it. Her daughter went to Vanderbilt. Joanne Mackey, an economist and a very intelligent person. Kevin Higgins says, Albert Graves, if Wawa ever comes to the Crozet area, it will be in Crozet on 250. Ted Anderson of Anderson Seafood giving me a phone call. Ted, if you're watching the program right now, I'm going to have to call you back. And I got a 1230 with a client. That's also very important. 130. Today's a slam day.

The business is humming. Vanessa Parkhill and Logan Wells-Klela, welcome to the broadcast. Thank you kindly for watching the show. We got a phone call in eight minutes due to be a wick hour. Albert Graves, I love when you watch on Twitter. The old Virginia Oil Company building. Talk about an eyesore across from Borset would be a great place for a 24-hour market, especially with all the tourists that stay at Borset who don't know their way around Charlottesville.

I believe that's a Phil Delaney property. That is also an Andrew Harding listing. Andrew Harding's getting a lot of love on today's program. I hope he hears that. Next headline, Judah Wickhart, what do we got? Next we have the car Q3.

All right, I'm going to cut to the chase. The Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors released their third quarter report. And the Q3 third quarter report, do you want to put it in perspective what it is, Judah, with what you know? And I know this isn't your, is it bailiwick? This is definitely not my bailiwick. But you're a very intelligent person. Just bullet points what you know about the Q3 report. I don't know anything about it, but I would guess that...

He hasn't even read it, but he's very intelligent. I would guess that sales are down. Yeah, that's right. I would guess that there are not a whole lot of new houses on the market. No, that's actually incorrect. Inventory is rising. Inventory is rising. Sales are down.

Inventory is rising. Keep going. I'm not sure where else to go. Well, you're going to have to talk about prices. Prices. Values. Prices are ever rising. Values are up. There it is.

This is what from the car Q3 report. Sales activity continues to be sluggish in the car housing market. There were 974 homes sold region-wide in the third quarter, six fewer sales than a year ago. Home prices are still rising in most local markets in the area. The region-wide median sales price in the car footprint in the third quarter was $455,000, climbing 3% from a year ago, a $15,000 increase. Carr says the inventory of active listings rose sharply from last year. There were 842 active listings on the market at the end of the third quarter in the Carr region.

105 more than a year ago, a 14% uptick. Inventory is increasing. Values are upticking. Sales are dropping. That's weird because normally when you have inventory upticking, what's going on? Tell us what's going on. Lisa Sturtevant, the bright economist, Dr. Lisa Sturtevant calls it a weird market. I'll tell you why the market's weird. You got people sitting on the sidelines after this election is over. Their hope and their prayer is that once this election gets behind us in the first quarter or second quarter of next year, they'll see a 2% delta swing in interest rate, and it could drop to the low fives. I'm here to say that may or may

not happen. And while you wait for a 2% delta swing or a 0.5% delta swing in the first quarter or second quarter of next year, the values are just going to uptick. So as you're sitting on the sidelines, you're just seeing compound growth year after year, and you're locking yourself into a 12-month lease at $2,500 or $3,000 a month clip. And as you piss away $2,500 or $3,000 a month, while home values uptick 3% to 5% year over year compounded, and they jumped 30% to 35% during COVID, you're just losing out on equity. You're losing out on equity.

And when the rates do drop, and when they do drop, and eventually they will, the competition's going to be greater, and when they do drop, and eventually they will, the competition's going to be greater, and you go from a buyer's market back to a hardcore seller's market, and the multiple offer bonanza returns. Book it. Book it. Next headline. What do you got? Judah B. Wickauer, Jack of all trades. Jack of all wits. I'm on fire today. I got four minutes for a conference call. I already know what I'm going to say. Good old town of Gordonsville. What are they doing? What is going

on with the town of Gordonsville? Their trash collector just said, you know what? I don't want your money. There's six months left on the contract and we have to pick up your trash. And we're in the trash picking up business. Updike. Updike is the trash picker upper. The trash collector.

And they said, screw Gordonsville. We're breaking this contract. We don't want your trash. This is after the last trash collector said, see you later. And I think the last trash collector was another local one, right? The predecessor was Vaughn,

a Canada-based green for life. Okay, they're from Canada. Is Updike from Culpeper? is that what memory serves? Let's see, I think so, yeah. Gordonsville cancels a fried chicken festival despite billing it and marketing it as rain or shine. They still cancel it. Vendors said they spent tens of thousands of dollars

on fried chicken to have the food ready when customers come, rain or shine, then they canceled it. The vendors want to sue the town of gordonsville they had water issues where the water company said don't drink the water now their trash collector is saying we don't want to pick up your trash anymore go find another collector you got no water or yet you had a water issue where you were told your your your citizens don't drink the water. Now the trash ain't getting picked up. And then your fried chicken festival, your vendors want to sue you because you canceled the festival.

And you have a mayor who's running unopposed. No opposition in the election in the town of Goransville for mayor. I guess everyone's happy. That was funny. Dead panned. Well done, Judah Woodcower. i guess everyone's but but get this they i got two and a half minutes here you better make this point at this point updyke has been collecting three times the amount that they were contracted to to collect there's a little he said he said

she said here though every week there's a little he said she said here okay and the he said she said that's happening with updyke in the town of Gordonsville is they came out of the gates picking up the extra trash. And then the residents grew to expect that the extra trash was going to be picked up. Yeah. And when they grow to expect that the extra trash is going to go be picked up, what do they do? They expect it. They put more trash out there. Yeah. You give an inch, folks take a mile but still so they gave them an inch they take a mile and they put more and

more trash out there and then finally updyke said we can't do this trash and they and apparently they've tried to they've tried to discuss this with with the city yeah with the town and but really really how are people how are people stacking stacking multiple piles of trash every week like what is going on over there maybe they're having ragers maybe there's a lot of fried chicken that wasn't sold at the festival that they're eating at their houses a lot of chicken bones maybe a lot of chicken bones. Maybe. A lot of chicken bones. What's the last headline? 90 seconds left before my conference call. Oh, best tacos.

Best tacos. First, we've got to say Mexicali Restaurant. Can we give a plug on screen for Mexicali Restaurant, West Main Street, Johnny Ornelas, River Hawkins? J-O, Johnny Ornelas, Mexicali Restaurant on West Main Street. You better start your Charlottesville taco tour. I want to do a taco tour with my wife and the families that we hang out with and our kids. We do a taco tour down West Main Street. Mexicali Restaurant, Continental Divide.

What's that other Mexican restaurant on West Main Street? We go Mexicali, Continental Divide, that other one that's on West Main Street that used to be in the Horse and Hound location? Oh, oh, Barco's. Marisco's El Barco's? Okay, I'm going to take Judah at his word.

And from there we can go to Bebedero. I think Three Notch has some tacos. There's a lot of damn good tacos in this town. Yeah, no doubt. Mejicali Restaurant, some of the best of the best. River Hawkins, Johnny Arnalis, Mejicali Restaurant. I'll close with this because I got 20 seconds. Good Lord. You better listen to the Jeff Jones interview. It was on the Jerry and Jerry show this morning.

Jeff Jones, former UVA basketball coach, had some serious insight into the Tony Bennett retirement. Unexpected. That's the Tuesday edition of the I Love Seville Show. I'm Jerry Miller. So long, everybody. Thank you.
