Golf Course Sale, Housing, and Voting | Virginia Beach News

Virginia Beach is eyeing a major move: selling the National Golf Club to a private developer who’d invest millions to modernize the course, expand public access, and fuel tourism — all while tackling the city’s urgent affordable housing crisis. With over half a million residents, Virginia Beach can’t afford to leave teachers, first responders, and service workers without homes — keeping them local boosts the economy and tax base. Meanwhile, a heated debate rages over voting laws, with supporters of citizenship verification arguing it’s just another common check — like ID at the polls or getting a passport — to ensure election integrity. Critics say it’s an unnecessary burden, but proponents insist the small hassle protects the system’s credibility. At its heart, it’s about trust: making sure every vote counts and every citizen feels secure in the process — because sometimes, you’ve just got to check under the bed to be sure there are no monsters.
