A lot of our neighbors complain that they won't recoup their property values if the momuments get dug up.

I say, them.

For anyone disengious enough to defend "the history" behind these statues, Virginia is a 400 year old colonial feud over what amounts to patio furniture, fences, tacky Christmas ornamental displays and black people's lives. Liquidate the monuments and never think about helping the tiest people in Richmond recoup financially. The monuments are a serious public nuisance and brought out several neo-Confederate militias last August.

I pray for abject misery to come across any homeowner who stands in the way of these monuments getting uprooted.
