Your response: It would be nice to have more general areas of attraction. We have to travel to Williamsburg, the Hampton Roads, or DC for leisure. Each time we discuss adding a casino or amusement park, it is shot down by City Council. There is also a very high crime rate in Richmond. Mental Health also tends to be an issue with the homeless population.
