Virginia Beach Considers 'Tent City' For Homeless

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - Homeless people in Virginia Beach could find shelter in an encampment authorized by the city under a proposal being studied by the city's staff.

Staff members tell The Virginian-Pilot that an authorized "tent city" would make it easier to provide services to the homeless and keep tabs on them.

If the City Council approves the proposal, it would be the first authorized homeless encampment in Virginia.

Oh thats real smart. Who's gonna visit that resort after that happens? Oh that's right all the people with no money. Brilliant! I'm sure all those business owners are jumping for joy for that to happen.

Sounds like an excellent idea to me, but then I have a heart and common sense.

I've been to Virginia beach several times on business recently and I can tell you straight up that I would never go there by choice. Scum beggars and druggies all over. Forget it!
The lowest scum in this country seems to congregate at all the resort locations ruining them.
Wake up! Chase this vermin out!
