Dear Editor,
Can the City of Richmond inform residents about the laws concerning payments in some Richmond establishments that only accept cash?
They don’t accept credit or even debit cards, and customers have to use the bank machine at their establishments, paying $3 to $5 for even the smallest withdrawals.
Also, on another subject, a recent proposal aims to collect higher property taxes from mansion owners to build social housing.
In addition to this levy, why can’t the government not mandate that a suite in every empty mansion be rented out?
This will not only alleviate the current housing crisis but help bring down the rents.
