[edit] "Commerce" section doesn't belong here.

Please don't reinsert this section; all it says, essentially, is that there's no commerce in the place. That is not useful at all. +ILike2BeAnonymous 17:32, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, there is commerce, though not an abundance. There are only two schools in the community--your standard suggest that the education section should also be called into question, due to lack of abundance of educational institutions. Indeed, the entire community houses a mere few thousand individuals--does this suggest that the entire page should be removed?

I won't make a blanket statement about the value of the commerce section, but to me, it's just another piece of information that helps the reader understand more about the area, which I believe is the purpose of this page. What's more, it happily existed for nearly the year it has been since I first fleshed out this page. Perhaps others in the community can weigh in. 198.144.208.133 08:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Again; what that section says, in so many words, is that there is no siginficant commerce in this place. The presence of a dry cleaner and a corner market do not constitute significant commerce. Therefore, there's no reason for this section to exist, especially in an article that has zero hope of ever being anything but a stub. So far as its having been there for almost a year, I can show you lots of erroneous stuff in this so-called "encyclopedia" that's been there longer than that, making that a weak argument. +ILike2BeAnonymous 17:47, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conflict over location of "Richmond View"

The claim that this place is "sometimes referred to as Richmond View" conflicts with the article on Talk:Mira Vista (Richmond View), Richmond, California, which implicity takes that name in its title. One or the other is wrong (unless that term applies to both, in which case these articles should probably be merged). +ILike2BeAnonymous 18:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

The two areas are distinct (the East Richmond neighborhood referred to in the other article is located within the city of Richmond), so the articles should not be merged. The connection between the name "Richmond View" and East Richmond Heights is illustrated by current real estate listings (simply google for "Richmond View"--real estate listings located within the CDP will be revealed.) I know of no connection between the name "Richmond View" and any area located within the city of Richmond. My understanding is that it exclusively refers to East Richmond Heights. 198.144.208.133 08:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
