A Virginia Beach land deal is sparking outrage — developer Helen Dragas wants to buy the golf course for $17.9M, but taxpayers are on the hook for $9.7M in infrastructure. Claims of a crumbling course needing “tens of millions” don’t add up: it’s still thriving with 50K rounds/year and hosts the mayor’s fundraiser. Housing shortages? The city’s population dropped by 6K since 2020, and plenty of unused land lies further south. Plus, her touted childcare center? There are already 13 within six miles — and one more opening soon. This isn’t progress, it’s a $28M handout disguised as development. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
