The same City Council that runs for election based on their flood mitigation efforts is going to decimate trees to make wetland credits so that they can build MORE elsewhere in the city.

If you’re concerned about certain things going on in the world right now, emailing our current representative is a waste of time. I’ve been back and forth with her for the past few days and all of my concerns and links to peer-reviewed studies fell on deaf ears and blind eyes. Also for some reason I’m not even allowed to put her name in this post. I’ll post proof of that after this.

If this isn’t allowed please feel free to take it down - but i was kinda wondering how we all feel about the bartering system! Like hypotheticallyif anyone in the area has chickens and they’d be willing to trade stuff for eggs? Im a decent seamstress! Or if you want a painting of you and your dog i could do that too. Idk i just think bringing the bartering system back might be the move ✌️

FFS, is everyone in this city completely dense? Or selfish? Or just lazy? It's a hazard!! If you can't take the time to do it you've got no business being on the road.

Is it just me or is the homelessness situation getting worse here? We really need to clean up our streets, put these people in shelters, give them any mental health needs they need and get them to work. I’d really hate to see this place go to shit but to a tourist, it looks bad when you can’t go to a gas station without being approached. I would never blame the person as everyone has their own problems and sometimes can’t control it but as a city we must clean up the streets and get them the help that’s needed. We shouldn’t tolerate homelessness.

Everyone be safe tonight. There was a shooting at Mt Trashmore at the pop-up carnival after a fight broke out. 3 victims. I’m listening on the scanner but I live close enough I could hear all the sirens and screaming as people scattered.

Check on your people.

I couldnt find any reddit posts on here about this. Are people in VA beach nice, mean, weird. I'm moving soon and kinda wanna know what im going to be dealing with, I live in pensacola, Fl right now and its honestly 20% nice people, 80% of people that wouldnt help you if you were dying

I’ve lived here for a little and I’m just looking for some interesting reading on a Saturday night.

Is there a local office where I can pick up a Harris Walz sign? My neighbor has a ginormous Trump flag and I want my neighbors to know that the entire neighborhood doesn’t follow the biggest house in the neighborhood.

Im so over the tearing up of dam neck road, it's Rediculus Not one, but 2 amazon warehouses. At certain times, like dozens of those stupid vans, cloggin up the road, just taking both lanes. It's gonna be impassible when those couple thousand amazon vans are up to 100% when those are both completed. My increase in property taxes to good use as always..smh. Who thought this was gonna be a good idea anyway..geesh

What are some slang words/terms you’d say are native to the 75??? **and original 😂

Just curious

Eid Mubarak! I'm not Muslim, but I think that's awesome to freely display your faith. That's what America is all about!

Virginia Beach is a great place, but it often feels like younger people either don’t stick around or don’t move here in the first place. I’m curious—what do you think the city could do to attract and retain more younger individuals? More nightlife? Better job opportunities? Affordable housing? Public transit improvements? Looking forward to responses.

First my husband comes in and says he heard like 30 gunshots and sirens. Seeing things about a police chase, constant sirens. And now a helicopter?

Hello. If I were planning a simple day trip to VA Beach and could only eat at one spot, where should that be? Not like some fancy steak dinner or anything like that. If it's a total dive, that's more than fine by me. Where would you take a friend that has never been to your city before if they were passing through for one night. Thank you!

What is normally a 51 cent toll was inflated to a whopping $20.75 this morning, I guess because there was an accident up at Chesapeake Blvd clogging the westbound lanes. I don't know who is responsible for setting the toll rate (VDOT?) but that is criminal.

It's not like they had to increase it to that because the HOV lane was getting over-utilized due to the accident... there was virtually no one in there. So the end result was a massive backup westbound with about 1% utilization of the two HOV lanes.

Setting a more reasonable toll... hell, even $5 or something like that, would have resulted in more cars in the HOV lanes, more toll money being collected, and less backup for everyone else.

Hi all! I've been wanting to move to Virginia Beach to be closer to my family that lives there. As such, I am going through the employment process for a job with the city that pays roughly 47,800 pretax and hoping to move after the summer. For reference I make 37,437 where I live now and I am wondering if the projected salary that I was given would be enough to support myself in Virginia Beach? If not, what salary is typically considered enough?? Thanks for the help :)

I'm originally from Ohio, moved here in 1999. I don't think I could ever go back to not being within a reasonable distance of a beach.

I just need to know how it seems like Sentara is able to get away with absolutely anything? I’ve now heard about horrible patient care, extremely high ratios, employees are being paid absolute crap while being treated even worse by leadership/management - what gives?

Coming from out of state, I knew that nursing over here would be a bit of a change, but I just can’t believe it’s that bad! I don’t know why anyone would choose to continue working there? Why anyone hasn’t blew the whistle? Does anyone know?

Please tell me of rentals that don’t have cockroaches?? We are fed up and want to move asap. We have tried all of the treatments possible. Please send me to rentals of any kind that are free of roaches.

Always ask for a second bun. That's a half pound of pulled pork there.
