AND WE ONLY WANT A LITTLE BITTY BRIDGE BY COMPARISON
A homeowner I know at the far end of Corolla on the OuterBanks says they don't want the 569 million bridge. Or paying the $12.toll each way. More evidence, he said, is that there are endless homes up for sale. Some can't finish paying for one, or sell one, and it is bad for business according to those who own one to rent out. The price tag boggeles the mind. The officials will consider that but in Virginia we can't replace one. Does this mean the rich get richer?

Its not the rich get richer in Suffolk the dumb get dummmmer.
The bridge has been in the plans for ten plus years. If there were a natural disaster eminent, i.e. head-on impact with a major hurricane, it would be impossible to evacuate the OBX under the current road system. Besides much of the land from Duck to Corova is developed.
People flock to that area of the OBX because once they arrive, they are pretty much away from the hoards of people and off on their own for an entire week. Once the bridge gets built, all that solitude and peace of mind stops as some 20,000 day trippers from Chesapeake and VAB are expected to flock to Corolla the beaches daily with all there cars, food, noise, and trash--to a vacation area ideal for families renting there but no visitor trach facilities, no parking, and very limited options for transient entertainment. The reasons that people came to Corolla would disappear almost overnight as soon as the bridge starts delivering daily crowds, noise, and leaving mountains of trash all over the beaches when they leave each night! People go to Corolla and the rest of the OBX nrothern beaches because they AREN'T Virginia Beach!
Fanny and Frddie loans were made for oceanfront homes and property? Damn what's next section 8 housing taking over?
