What are some "other projects VB has wasted money on"? I swear some people ***** about VB just because it's cool. Fact is it's one of the best places to live in the entire US. Does that mean they get everything right? No, but they sure get a lot more right than they get wrong.

Moving city hall comes to mind. Also building Town Center and not providing good public transportation to it. Also this oceanfront arena woth no parking. Va Beach is a fine place to live and it has the best schools in Hampton Roads. However the city government is as spineless and short sighted as anywhere else when it comes to future development.

Wow. I don't even know where to start. Town Center is a raging success by any standard, I agree they should have made light rail happen. Hate on the Oceanfront all you like, I do a lot myself, but if you have been to many major east coast beach resort towns, VB is MUCH nicer than all of them. Parking at the beach is a pain in the ass... Just like every other place that attracts tons of people every day. Just for fun go look at how many people visit VB every year then divide it by the 100 days that people are actually visiting VB. You will be shocked at the number of people at the Oceanfront every day. And the city hall thing never happened. You can't get mad at them exploring options.
