I remember Virginia Beach as it was in the early seventies. We’d go out on the sand dunes south the town itself and dig a hole, fill it with driftwood, light a fire and cook hot dogs and roast marshmallows, then sit and watch the lights of the ships. I made the mistake of going back last year. Now it’s wall-to-wall condos and they had to pass a law mandating an armored entry every so may yards to allow the public access to the public beach. Too many people in the US. We should go back to about 150 million people.

Every time the wife and I drive through the old neighborhood it’s “hey, look at this” or “wonder what happened to that place.”

That we should go back to 150 million people are too many for the 1%. They want to get rid of 80-90% of us.
One way or another.It’s scary.
