Ok if anyone knows me at all, they know that I can't stand Viriginia Beach. So I am going to start a count of reasons why I hate the Beach on here.
#1) This morning I was driving to work which is in Virginia Beach, and I noticed that there were about six or seven cops pulling people over in the lanes leaving the Beach and absolutely no cops in the lanes going to Virginia Beach. Its the start of Labor Day weekend and Virginia Beach has to get its qouta of speeding tickets. So instead of interferring with the tourists, they prey on the locals leaving town. What kind of crap is that?
i hate virginia beach because it's too popular.
ReplyDeleteso you hate it because other people like it ?
Deleteva-beach.biz - will soon by my i hate va beach website. I live in virginia beach too it sucks
ReplyDeleteI hate VA BCH. Especially their racist police and government officials! They suck
ReplyDeleteThey are not racist they hate everybody
DeleteThis place is the armpit of the East Coast! I came here to work at my miserable high-paying job! This place as ruined my life since there is literally nothing to do (I hate the water), and the dating scene sucks. I made more friends and did more stuff during the 12 weeks of accumulated work-travel I've been on in the past few years than I have here in this awful place. Since B.O. has ruined this economy, looks like I'm stuck here for while!
ReplyDeleteI hate va beach because of its locals. What a bunch of self important puffers.
ReplyDeletefor all of you dumb asses who think virginia beach is the best in the world...you should go see a REAL beach town OCEAN CITY!! After 15 years of living in crappy ass vb because of work...i finaly left the arm pit of the east coast and moved to MD. I had the chance to visit OC last summer and it was the best ever. VB get a freaking clue on how it should be done!!

Deletei agree
DeleteSORRY I MIS-SPELLED SOME WORD'S DID NOT PROOF READ BUT YOU KNOW, SHIT HAPPENS
ReplyDeletethog dont care
Deleteva beach is boring
ReplyDeleteVirginia Beach is horrible compared to the West Coast. From the time it takes to get anywhere (at least 20 minutes for anything, the hills that they call the Appalachian Mountains (check out the Rocky Mountains), the fake food (Many cultures from around the world go out west), the weather (the west is beautiful), the traffic (everything's fast and easy to get too, and people don't brake everywhere they go, THEY DRIVE except for CA), to the people (people out west are much more happier and friendlier). I just don't understand why anyone would want to live in Virginia Beach.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100%!!!! Been stuck in this hell hole for more years than not! Soon as hubby retires we're Nevada bound! What a difference between the west coast and here.
DeleteGet a clue Anonymous. I lived in WA for 6 years and aside from the 2months of beauty in the summer (if you want to call it that, doesn't get hot enough to buy an AC unit), that placed sucked. Everybody takes antidepressants to cope with the lack of sun and liberal economics. Then there's California, it is a beautiful land but the taxes are among the highest in the country, the state govt is broke, and the people are either rich eccentric superficial douche bags or poor wierdos barely making a living. Not to mention the wild fires, mudslides, earth quakes, etc. And please don't hate on the Appalachians because they aren't 10,000ft tall. At least their look varies throughout the seasons, yeah seasons, there are 4 of them we enjoy here on the east. What color are your tall rocks in the fall? Grey? Hurry, get my camera before the grey falls off. The West isn't perfect by a long shot. I have still have oil stains in my shoes from swimming in the beach off Santa Barbara where you can see the off shore oil rigs beautify the skyline... NOT! VA > CA.
DeleteThis is because of the lack of blonde hair people!
DeleteEveryone here should kill themselves as soon as possible! Especially the all caps guy who dropped out of school in the third grade because he couldn't pass English. If you don't like something get away from it rather than just complaining about it and whining. VA Beach doesn't suck, you suck. You have no friends and no one likes you. If I were you I would be miserable in Va Beach or anywhere else that I was because you are a miserable failure at life.
ReplyDeleteYou suck and should throw away your computer so the rest of us don't have to suffer reading anymore of your judgmental posts You miserable person!
DeleteTrust me. Virginia Beach SUCKS!
DeleteIts not just virginia beach
DeleteIts every inch of VA. And its the stupid, lazy uncultured monolithic walking stereotypes that inhabit this hellhole that make it that way. If you love VA you should kill yourself. Hell that would probably still be better than living here
I've lived here for 9 years and really have tried to like it. I even purchased a house and thought that would make me happy but Virginia Beach just doesn't compare to San Diego. So my plan is to make the move back to where my heart has always been ~ west coast.
ReplyDeleteI so agree. I have lived here most of my life and I was so happy when I lived in San Diego long ago. I have one more year and I am out of here!
DeleteI agree. I miss San Diego. This place sucks. They tax so much money out of you, there's nothing left of you. Everyone is rude here, very few friendly people.
DeleteSan Diego is number one. VA Beach sucks. I wish I could move out of VA Beach!
ReplyDeleteI hear you completely. After 14 years here I have like 3 friends. In California I had hundreds of friends. It is pretty but the animals eat your house, the humidity is crap, the city has taxed us until kingdom come. We get tickets for nothing here. I was not even speeding and got a ticket here.
DeleteThe people here are stuck on themselves way too much and the whole "the beach" fad. They're really racist here too.
ReplyDeleteThis place is so shitty compared to the west coast, where I'm from. VA Beach is filled with the most abundant amount of stupid ass people I've ever met.
ReplyDeleteYes. And everyone is very uptight. Not friendly. Stare at you all the time rudely. Medical people weird. Treat you badly like a piece of trash. More mail than I can get through every month. I just want to leave or die. Business sucks here too. Don't bother opening one, people are tight with money. Probably because the state steals everything you have and more.
DeleteHELL YES. The dumbest ppl I have ever encountered here. And they're all hung up over their crappy hot ass beaches with skank women on them.
DeleteAlso lets not forget the friendly law enforcement in virginia beach, i hate that place i was stationed there for 10 years, and couldnt wait to get the hell out of there and their bullshit laws, im backk in new york and would never moved back there ever in my life
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Virginia Beach and agree that it really sucks. Everyone I run into who has stayed there is a complete loser who hasn't progressed since high school. There is no culture there. No bar scene. No businesses. No leadership. And hoards of ugly, ugly people. When you move to another city you realize how much VB really sucked.
ReplyDeleteYOU'RE RIGHT. I GREW UP IN VA BEACH,FINISHED COLLEGE, AM A REALLY HANDSOME MAN WHO HAS BEEN ALL ALONE SINCE I MOVED BACK 8 1/2 YEARS AGO FROM TAMPA BAY. I'M ALONE BY CHOICE BECAUSE 98% OF THE WOMAN HERE ARE UGLY BUT THINK THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL AND SOMETHING SPECIAL, AND HAVE COLD PERSONALITIES(SO DO THE OTHER MEN, BUT FUCK THEM I'M STRAIGHT). THEY JUST GET IN THE WAY. I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT ATTITUDE PREDOMINANTLY WITH THE MILITARY WELFARE FUCKS. I'VE MET DOZENS OF SUCH WOMEN HERE LIKE THAT IT LOOKS RIDICULOUS. I'VE HAD A FEW WOMAN GIVE ME THEIR CORRECT PHONE NUMBER SO THEY COULD SET ME UP FOR REJECTION. IT FEEDS THEIR EGOS TO FEEL BETTER THAN SOMEBODY WHO LOOKS BETTER THAN THEM. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN LAID HERE SINCE I'VE BEEN BACK BECAUSE THE WOMEN HERE ARE SO UNDESIRABLE. AND WHENEVER I SEE A WOMAN HERE WHO HAS SUCH A NICE BODY AND NOT SO TERRIBLE FACE SO I'D SLEEP WITH HER, SHE'S ALWAYS WITH SOME DWEEBY GUY. I'D HAVE TO KILL HIM(I'VE BEEN THREATENED HERE BY OTHER GUYS OVER GIRLS), IT''S NOT WORTH IT. THERE IS NO MARKET FOR REALLY ATTRACTIVE AVAILABLE WOMEN HERE. TOO MUCH COMPETITION FOR WHAT? UGLY DELUSIONED BITCHES? I GOT LAID OFTEN DOWN IN TAMPA BAY. I'M BACK HERE BECAUSE MY MOTHER NEEDS ME TO TAKE CARE OF HER. BUT NEXT YEAR, I DON'T CARE,I'M LEAVING THIS STUCK-UP,NARCISSISTIC,SUPER CROWDED PLACE. i'LL JUST COME BACK SOMETIMES IF MY MOTHER REALLY NEEDS ME. I ACT LIKE A NICE GUY TO EVERYONE, BUT INSIDE I'M ENRAGED ABOUT LIVING HERE OR ANY OTHER CROWDED CITY.
DeleteI 100% agree with the previous comment. I also grew up in this godawful town (born and raised) and after 20 years I HATE IT HERE. I've been back and forth from school in Atlanta, then coming back here and like you said, you never realize how miserable this place is once you've lived somewhere else. It's boring, no one here wants to do anything with their lives. As soon as I get enough money for a place in ATL, Im getting the hell outta this city.
ReplyDeleteVb is the wackest of wack cities that does a great job fooling ppl on how greaf it is. That is untill you actually move there and you see the true side instead of what advertisement brings. Vb and the ppl in it are so stuck on themselves and how great of a city it is but they have no clue. Im 20 and just moved down there last semester when i was 19 with my boy and attended TCC for a semester, and i swear, after about a month or two of living there, school was the only thing holding me back from moving to where my heart is.... The west side, Phx AZ! PPl in VB need to get there head out of their asses and realize where they belomg in this world (the arm pit) and stop acfng like they are "the shit".... racist fucking assholez.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU THANK YOU!! Finally people who hate this damn retarded place. All I managed to get here are tickets and misery!!! This place has NOTHING to do. I can't wait to move!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was born here 60 years ago i agree with you it sucks here now. It used to be a great place to live years ago but it sucks now. All they give a shit about now is Tourist,taxes, money any way they can get and those DAMN JETS at Oceana.
ReplyDeleteI hate the Police here and how everything is about money I am glad I am not alone when I say this place can kiss my ass
ReplyDeleteI've lived here way too long... hated it when I arrived (some 20+ years ago), hate it even more now. The people are rude, the jet noise sucks, they can't drive for shit.... not to mention the beach?!!!!? Really???!!! The military dumps their waste (meaning shit, piss, and whatever other ungodly materials you can think of) right off our coast. They even have bacterial warnings at times, that the bacteria levels are too high to safely swim!
ReplyDeleteThe police will look for some bullshit reason to harass you (mainly at the ocean front), you can't even have an opened container of beer in your own yard! Yes, that's right... if you are within public view, drinking a beer in your own front or back yard (the key being public view, which can be neighbors), the police can and WILL issue you a summons!
Unfortunately, I have to wait for my husband to retire until we can get the hell out... but getting the hell out of this shit hole is what we will be doing!
It's dirty here, there is an out of control homeless population (that you will notice standing on the medians with signs at major intersections), everyone likes to mind everyone else's business but their own. God forbid you are an attractive woman walking down the "strip", you can be rest assured that some redneck wanna be bitch will holler some nasty adjective out the window at you just because you decided to take a walk.
Racial tensions are high, crime is much higher than what is reported.... take a look at a lot of the ratings for hotels in the area... DIRTY! This is a poor excuse for a resort area, it's a "poor man's" resort at best. You might as well get together with a few hillbilly's, a keg, and a bucket of kentucky fried chicken and call that a vacation.
I can't wait to get the hell out of here! Virginia Beach and the whole Commonwealth sucks
I hate the entire Commonwealth bitch named Virginia. All I've experienced there was pain and boredom. All the statements made above are valid.To those who are pondering relocating, get the hell out while you still can..I did. Fuck Virginia Beach(Hillbilly's Paradise).
ReplyDeleteVirginia Beach is a police state run by a bunch of good ole' boys who look as though they all come from the same inbred family. There is very little diversity here. There are some blacks, but few Hispanics and Asians. Why in the world would immigrants want to come to this God-awful place? The people around here are racist and xenophobic--really backward in their thinking, if they think at all. The people here are lame as hell.
ReplyDeleteThe whole state is called the "Communistwealth" because of the totalitarian nature of the government. Then you have all the bible belt a-holes who run the state behind the scenes. Pat Robertson calls this place home, come on.
Ex military who decide to stay here (stupid decision) flood the local job market. This place is one of the worst job markets in the nation for a metro area of its size. Private-sector wages here are low.
Then there is the obnoxious jet noise at all times of the day. The Gayvy, I mean Navy can't seem to find another place on the East Coast to place loud noisemakers--who would want them near them? Nobody. Jacksonville didn't want these jets back when they had the chance. Does anyone blame them?
This city and the whole state for that matter has got to be the worst in America. Things are so bad in Virginia that 150 years ago the western part of the state broke off and formed their own state: West Virginia, which is the better Virginia; and that ain't sayin' much.
The people are so stupid and ignorant around here that they can't properly drive a car and follow the rules of the road. They have got to be the worst drivers in the whole friggin nation of ours.
Virginia is for Losers!!!! NOT lovers.
Advice: Don't come here if you can avoid it. This place is very depressing. If you live here try to get out ASAP. Seek a job out of state. Save your money and move. Find a friend or relative in another state and see if they can help you move--whatever it takes. This place will literally suck the life blood out of you.
Everything you say is true excpet one point needs clarification:when the navy built the airbase there was nothing else around so the noise wasn't a problem. At the time, most of what is now VB was rural Princess Anne county, VB city was just the strip at the oceanfront. The city is who messed up, by allowing urban (rather, suburban) development to build up around the base.
DeleteThat's true. I heard they the Navy tried to PREVENT development around the air base.
DeleteOf course, the moneyed folks wanted to cash in and build base housing -- more a less the same thing in a bedroom community for the bases like Virginia Beach.Lynnhaven Mall was opposed as a plan could go down there. Nothing stops the city planners from approving stuff like this.It fills the coffers and more city workers can join the 100 K club.
You know how I found your page? By typing into Google "how much I hate virginia beach." Glad I'm not alone. It does bring some comfort and helps me realize that I'm not insane.
ReplyDeleteHa that's exactly how I found it too. We are military. Been here only 5 months and hate. Came from down south, ppl are so different here, and this place is soo busy everywhere. I can not wait to move! Got about a yr and a half left :/ So glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.
DeleteSo I'm not alone in this hate for this area. I hate Hampton Roads as a whole. I lived in Virginia Beach but moved to Portsmouth/Suffolk area to get away from the crime and bull shit. I have no desire to live at the beach, go to the beach or frequently visit the beach. I can't wait for the day I cross state lines and leave this God forsaken area.
ReplyDeleteI was born and raised in this city. My ancestors were from here. I can't wait to move far, far away! As I write this, I am being blasted by the damn jets from Oceana. This whole eastern part of the city is ruined by this noise. The low frequency vibration, incessant noise and pollution is making people sick. The clowns we have for "representatives" give the navy a blank check. When a F-18 crashed, as anyone could have predicted, the politicians knocked each other down appologizing to the navy for people and their homes being in the way. How dare anyone not love the noise and danger! Complain about "The Sound of Freedom"?! How DARE you!...Next you'll say manure smells bad.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a city. Its a military base with a tourist trap near the ocean. The traffic, crime and rudeness of many people make this a miserable place to live. I remember when this used to be a fairly decent place before the local opportunists started mining the money and turned this into a suburban disaster area. The land of SUV's, lawnmowers and jet noise...I look forward to getting the hell out of all of Turdwater!
YES, YES, YES! AGREED! I was out of town when the jet crash happened (I saw it on the news from my motel room and was like... what?!) and knew that even if no one was killed (which this was the case) that everything would go back to "business as usual" with the Navy!
DeleteI get so angry when I see those "I Love Jet Noise" bumper stickers! And, what gives with all the vanity plates?
I have lived here since 2006 (grew up in the Midwest) and I actually liked Virginia Beach at first that with the amount of things to do and see in the surrounding areas of Hampton Roads. The military was somewhat of a concerned (we moved here due to my boyfriend's job/non-military)... then 2010 came and the jet noise started to get so bad that I wonder now if I have hearing damage! I feel like I can't enjoy the outside anymore because no matter where I go in this crappy city or at the oceanfront the jets are there! I doubt anything will change even with the sequestration. I have grown to hate it and each day I tell myself that I would love to leave tomorrow and never come back to this pathetic area (or this state). I'm planning to move out West...
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS THE WORST STATE IN THE UNION. IN VIRGINIA BEACH; YOU HAVE THE GOOD OLE BOYS CALLING THE SHOTS!!! THESE BASTARDS WILL SECRETLY PASS LAWS AND KEEP IT QUIET!!!! OUR CITY COUNCILMEN(AND WOMEN) PASSED A LAW WHERE A COUPLE OF THEM PURCHASED PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THE TAXPAYERS HERE ARE FOOTING THE BILL FOR THEM TO PRIVATELY OWN IT. THEY DON'T WANT DEVELOPERS TO BUILD NEAR THEM; SO NOT ONLY DO WE PAY, THEY KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF WORK!!!!!! CHECK THE VIRGINIAN PILOT AUGUST 19, 2012-CASH CROP!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat State Delegate Barry Knight is getting paid 4 million bucks because of this Shit!!! Plus they get property that is deemed undevelopable and secretly change it to developable so that they get paid tax payer money for buying it!!!!
DeleteLived here for 30 years. Local politics here are ridiculous and keep getting worse. Houses are so overpriced I can hardly afford to live here anymore. If I'm able, I'm selling next year and moving my family elsewhere. There are plenty of more affordable areas within Virginia, Maryland, and NC to consider. The city continually tries to bring in major sports markets but have been unsuccessful. The city council needs to wake up and realize that we are not a Seattle, OKC, Miami etc... and realize that people cannot afford these sorts of entertainment until overall general salaries are raised. City employees and private employees are truly compensated below national averages. If you do decide to stay in the area, consider Chesapeake or Suffolk. At least there you can get a decent house!
ReplyDeleteVB Is the #1 spot for trailer trash to vacation !
ReplyDeleteVirginia Beach is shit. I have lived here all 27 years of my life and have been unsuccessfully trying to go live in Florida for the past decade. The jet noise is terrible and I hate how people think a sound can be considered patriotism.
ReplyDeleteThere are only three ways to make a living in Virginia Beach...1) active duty military. 2) Civil Service (better be retired military to obtain a position. The good ole boys take care of their own, ya know?) 3) Open an auto dealership, ice cream stand, etc.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the area talks about attracting large corporations. Unfortunately, they've been talking about it for 40 years and it still hasn't happened!!!
Business here really sucks.
DeleteNot only does the business scene suck around here, but I can't help but view a lot of these business owners are hipster snobs. I see nothing but fake smiles and their need to make money no matter what. I hate it. It all adds to a city full of superficial jerks.
DeleteIf you guys think living in Virginia Beach is bad, try living in Kentucky. I don't see how it could be worse. At least you can enjoy the beach. We don't even have that.
ReplyDeleteThat's the problem... we can't enjoy the beach because of the constant racket! It's a "Catch-22..." we have to go somewhere else to be able to relax! :((
ReplyDeletei cant stand this place ive been out of work and homeless and have been cussed by the police and robbed by them everyday because of my situation make some jobs for christ sake and stop calling everybody who is homeles drug addicts ect im not just cant get a job and my wife is disabled that is why I HATE virgina beach it is miserable
ReplyDeleteLived there for six years the worst six years of my life its a scumhole full of crackheads and the police rob you and the local natives are still stuck in the civil war days thank god I got out of there and back to massachusetts
ReplyDeleteOmg! I live in Massachusetts and my husband and I visited Virginia Beach a few yrs ago. Someone introduced my husband and me to a local woman, and told her we were from Massachusetts. She put a horrific look on her face & then disgustedly scoped us up and down before remarking, "Ohhhh...I see...you people are from Yankee country." She said it with dripping sarcasm. Wow! We were shocked but my husband composed himself quickly and shot back, "Oh, I didn't know we were still fighting the Civil War." So, yikes...you are right.

ReplyDeleteCan I agree that living in VA Beach has been horrible. I moved here due to BF being in military and I just hate it, I did not enjoy my job, the traffic and drivers are horrible and it is way to over crowded. Why is it that even the library here has 20 million people with full parking lot on a Tues at 10 am? I cant go anywhere without 50 million others being there, cops pull people over like crazy, don't even get me started on driving through the tunnels here, there are those speed and red light cameras EVERY where and the people here are RUDE as it seems they hate it here too. The only thing I like about this place are the parks. IM so glad my lease is up in one month and my BF has just retired from the military so we are moving back north east...TG
ReplyDeletetest
ReplyDeleteVirginia beach looks like be a nice place to live beach beautiful listen to what some say how they hate vb sounds like where I live boring im having second thoughts about moving there
ReplyDeleteDon't do it!!! If you have a choice to move here or to move somewhere else, go some where else. My fiancé is Navy and he got stationed here alittle over a year ago and it has been the most miserable year in my life. The traffic and drivers are so terrible I rarely even want to leave the house. The jobs here(if you can find one worth having) are life sucking and by the time you use all your gas in traffic isn't worth what you're getting paid, oh and the taxes here are OUTRAGEOUS, so good luck having any money for anything. Ever. I've met a few people but have yet to make an actual friend while being here. It's definitely a military area and nothing left for civilians. I am from Jacksonville Florida, born and raised. I thought it was getting over crowded there but after being here I would jump at the chance to go back home in a heartbeat. As soon as my fiancé retires we will be going back to Florida. And I cannot wait!!!! It's a lonely and miserable place here.
DeleteVA BEACH IS THE WORST PLACE EVER. Between everyone being rude as hell and people driving like idiots I dont know whats worse. Oh yeah I know THE STUPID F*ing JET NOISE AT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT AND DAY. As someone with Anxiety Issues I just so love having an all day anxiety attacks when I'm supposed to be home relaxing
ReplyDeleteI agree on all these points. Rude drivers to the max. Taxes out your ears! Nothing much to do.
DeleteI agree on all these points. Rude drivers to the max. Taxes out your ears! Nothing much to do.
DeleteI moved up here to be with my fiancé but I've really hated it here. If I knew everything I know now I'm not sure I would have moved here in the first place. It's gotten to the point that when our lease is up I'm honestly thinking of moving back home for awhile (NC).
ReplyDeleteWhere do I begin? The constant jet noise, the drivers, the whole beachy tourist atmosphere (and the fact I REALLY miss my family) are all key components of my dislike. However my main complaint is due to the fact that the area is absolutely flooded with cover bands. I'm a musician and while I'm ok with doing and playing covers, I really want to be in a band where we can play originals and become the next big band but no one wants to do that here or listen to it. The people that are talented either have their own thing going on already or they want to just do covers to make money. Sometimes I feel if I have to play my heart out to one more inattentive drunk tourist/local audience I'm going to pull a Katniss Everdeen and fire an arrow into the crowd.
All that being said, it's nice to know that there are other people who feel the same way. For various reasons I can't be open about this stuff on fb so it's nice to vent here. Here's to hoping we all get out of this place:-)
I totally know how you feel. While I'm not in a band I am a big fan of music and being from Brooklyn the local bands are what makes the area that I lived what it is. People say that we are assholes but at least we don't act like F*ing drunken imbeciles when we go to see a band that shit annoys the hell out of me. I would get the hell out of VA Beach and go up to Richmond at least you'll have a chance and the people there will appreciate your talents. Keep The Faith!!!
DeleteI hear you being from San Diego there is like zero entertainment here...just a bunch of stuffy people. A lot of women here who think they know fashion. They don't. They wear jeans, old tshirts and icky tennis shoes. They dress terrible. A lot of angry people here, the drivers are rude. No friendly folks much at all.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteYeah the music scene in VA is straight trash. Six years later and what you said still rings true. Theres talented people, but they waste it in civer bands. And they got the nerve to charge $10 at the door. Not paying $10 to hear some 3rd rate cover of something that was big 30+ years ago. Of course due to the pandemic, we cant do shit, so well see where were at when it opens back up..or maybe I wont even bother.
DeleteSo I had to reply because your story sounds somewhat like mine. I moved here in July 2014 to be with my fiancé. I thought I had done really good research on VB but after moving here, it's been one disappointment after another. First thing I noticed is how no one seems able to communicate in a clear and concise manner. Everyone seems confused when asked a question. Second, I noticed how rude and negative everyone is. Being from Colorado, I'm used to some optimism and decency in people. You'd think it would kill people here to make a joke. Third, I noticed how everyone is out to make an easy buck. Being a foody, I've tried most of the nicer restaurants in town only to realize most of them are a facade and the food is horrible. The crime and the racism is something I've never experienced before. There's been several criminal incidents by my house in the few short months I've lived here. And we experienced reverse racism on one occasion. I'm still hanging in there trying to find something good about this place but I find myself missing my family and sometimes think about going back just to get some relief from this place.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the racism too, it's pretty hard core. Being from the West I never experienced it until I moved here. It's very strongly racially problematic here, especially on the road. Very angry and aggressive drivers who appear to have a racial vendetta.
DeleteVirginia Beach really does suck! I have live here for over 40 years and watched the piss poor job of planning and development. The homes here are way overpriced and the jet noise is totally unacceptable. I am tired of all of the assholes saying that jet noise is the sound of freedom. Bullshit. I support the military, but flying overhead all day and night over a heavily populated area like this is Bullshit. It is unsafe, it causes one hell of a lot of damage. Tell me that the air around here is full of dumped and spent fuel. There is no way that the air is not polluted by these jets flying day and night. Why not practice on the US, Mexico boarder and fly low like they do here, to scare the shit out of all the criminals that are illegally invading our country! Ok, I feel a little better now, goodbye.
ReplyDeleteCan't figure out how I managed to live in VB for so long. I just can't. I pretty much was raised here and did college and graduate school in VA. It has been such a blessing to relocate to the Midwest for employment reasons. Every time I visit family and return to my childhood home, all the negatives to VB hit me like a barrage of bullets between the eyes such that the journey to the non-Virginia home is a very, very happy one. (When can we leave?) There was a beach community quaintness to it in the 1970's but with growth, the poor city planning/development created problems with traffic congestion and overall lack of personality. It is not a pretty town. There are endless mini mall strips of chain establishments interspersed with the usual Targets, Kmarts , and mega malls. There are too few historic landmarks to lend warmth much less an identity to the series of high-priced snoot-ass neighborhoods/ developments. In the small towns of VA, I might pick up on that concept of Southern hospitality but NOT here. As a whole, the people are as friendly as the east coast driving. I guess it just became obvious to me once I moved away but there's definitely an iciness to the stares even in my old neighborhood and it's not hidden too deep under the fake southern accent. I never feel Southern Hospitality until I get to the Carolinas or Georgia. I never did mind too much the military sounds though just because I appreciate the technology and a lot of the military folks are down to earth. Some of the military officers you meet in the civilian setting though...yea, I totally get why they have domestic issues. And yes, because of the military presence, good luck sharing your political views. Those officer types can go on and on how they've seen the world and know all kinds of people. Whatever. There's only one view around here according to them. Global hopping was lost on them in my opinion. Even once they retire from the military and become consultants...they talk to you, a civilian, as if you clean their toilets. They contribute tremendously to my dislike of this town. Doesn't help that I'm a magnet for these type of folks but geez, I keep running into these wackadoodle power trippers every damn visit home. And bar/restaurant scene? Where? I found one pub with [gasp] friendly people so they get my business and two restaurants with a delightful menu. The rest are wannabes. The oceanfront to me is very meh. The private beaches on the Chesapeake Bay lost their appeal along with the town. Yes they're clean but something is missing. Even if you are just a visitor, you still have to buy a fishing license. .. Are you kidding me? I actually have to visit Eastern Shore to feel the love. That's kinda sad. Goodbye Virginia Beach. You are so ruined. You can never go home. Good to vent but damn, I'm kinda sad now. Oh and FU, you "self - important [wackadoodle] puffers." (Borrowed from one of the first posts.) There. I said it. I'm kinda happy again.
ReplyDeletePS... And about those vanity plates you cheese puffs of VB. Vanity plates make it easier for the serial psychos and road ragers to follow you.
ReplyDeleteHigh traffic, rude people, crowed beaches, high crime and surgically modified , Sun damaged people. I wanna go home. Planning my departure now.
ReplyDeleteNavy and their brats and dependent proud wives.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty much this place. Rough and tumble crowd.
My mom was robbed at knife point.
My co-workers dad was beaten in his own front yard.
Bed bugs at the movies.
And the drivers are the worst in the world-- uneducated masses with cars from their Navy salaries. I think that's what makes it the pits. The Navy. Those patriots, God bless em. They serve themselves. They own the road.They conquered this area, while losing wars.
my son was robbed for 3 bucks at 7-11, same son beaten by a gang of 20 kids. Had to have stitches put in head. young son treated bad all the time in school and just sick of the attitudes here.

DeleteToo damn expensive. Wanted to go for a day on the way home to NC. Forget it. $300+ for a decent room? Nah.
ReplyDeleteIts all the violent fat lazy blacks that fuck that whole part of the state up, made it into a west Baltimore . OC Maryland is like %100 better along with LSD Delaware.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I live in Ocean Pines MD, LOVE IT!VB , Norfolk and surrounding areas are a big armpit hell hole!
ReplyDeleteAll of you guys suck..Not for hating this derelict shit hole...but for not hating it enough..As for me I'd be willing to die here as long as God promised to wipe this place off the map with fire and brimstone..."Please God..I'm willing to die now...just please annihilate this place...itll be worth it God..then at least no one will have to live in this miserable dump with shitty weather and worse night life and high taxes and absolutely the biggest scumbags running the place"..We'll see what happens.
ReplyDeleteI really hate to badmouth Virginia Beach, but as a long time resident of nearly 25 years it is damn nigh impossible to counter all these accusations. First off, and I think the most annoying aspect that most locals feel, are the damn tourists and the row upon row of hotels dotting the OceanFront landscape...this city seems to favor the catering to the outta towners far more than the ones who actually make up the population. VB tries wayyyyyy too hard to be like other more mainstream destination tourist hotspots like another commenter said...and this leads directly into a loss of identity! The over emphasis on putting tourists first and foremost before this Commonwealth's native folks have really given the image of true fakeness and insincerity that is undeniably resonated throughout among the population that does said catering to the tourists. Another thing. The constant planning of building a sports arena at the oceanfront! This has been on the drawing boards for a long time now and nothing has ever gotten past said drawing boards! As if the main roads around the Oceanfront aren't congested enough during Summer, now the folks living in the surrounding area would have to deal with even MORE drivers than ever?! And not to mention bringing in some "unsavory people", the kind that would bring unwanted attention/drama to an Oceanfront that already deals with the a holes and jerks during its busy seasons. Oh, and one more thing I'd like to add. I've had people tell me matter of factly that racism is virtually nil in VB. BULLSHIT!!! White folks mainly stay with their own color, and the same goes for Black folks. If there is really any interracial mingling happening about, it would be at a place of work...almost everywhere that I go, be it at Mt.Trashmore, at the mall, the movies, even the grocery stores...Black and White people, for whatever intents and purposes, generally prefer to be with their own kind. And here's a piece of memory I'd like to add: when I was a child back in the mid 1980's, I would come to VB with my family to visit my grandparents who lived on shore drive, from 1983 to 1985. And even so I was 4,5, 6 years old during those times, I had nothing but the best fondest memories EVER! People would say that it doesn't count judging a city with being so young of age, but those memories I have make me wonder what the hell has happened to this city?! And even so they are now nothing but memories, at least I was super happy and optimistic to have enjoyed those times. I wish that kind of happiness and vibrancy existed now in this city, at least from my point of view. I'm a 37 year old man that have been left jaded and somewhat shunned because of circumstances, but I fervently hope that the wonders I have felt from over 30 years ago will once again surface and stay for good.
ReplyDeleteWhat you guys are saying is on point. I lived in Virginia Beach for about 1 year before I moved to Florida. Beach? Virginia beach is hardly a beach worth seeing... you aren't missing anything if you never go there your entire life. The crime there is miserable, rain never stops, flooding always happens and worst of all... they can't even make you happy in the slightest by giving you some nice architecture because the buildings by the beach are all REALLY UGLY square boxes. In Florida the condos are at least modern, white, pristine and many are covered in glass. In Virginia Beach the condos and hotels are the same color as the sand... a dirty yellow color. Everyone kept talking up Virginia Beach to me like it was the greatest thing but I was utterly disappointed. Now I live in a real beach town and Virginia has absolutely nothing on California and Florida.
ReplyDeleteI went to Frank W. Cox High School and I can tell you it is just as shitty as the rest of Virginia Beach. In my 4 years there I was offered illegal drugs on many ocassions, seen some of the most unqualified people somehow become teachers, and worst of all was the fact that it had the classic clique situation that you see in cheesy teenage movies. I liked the band program though.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Virginia Beach sucks
Adding my 2 cents... Virginia Beach sucks!! Lemme see... Town Center. Seriously??? What good does that do? For this former local now living in Texas (Fort Worth), who lived in that wannabe tourist trap for ~30 years (left in 2015 to Indiana, but then came back [bad idea]... finally left for good in April 2016)... NOTHING, that's what. Homeless folk can't catch a break. And the hotels there are prime homeless apartments in the winter at the oceanfront. (Trust me. I lived in two one winter.) But come May... the cops'll conspire with the hotels managers and evict everyone to the streets come first week of May. (First they'll try to raise the rates to hopefully convince them to GTFO.) And liquor only in state run "ABC stores?" WTF? Did you know Virginia was the first state after the repealment of prohibition to enact that restrictive law? (It's on Wikipedia, "Alcoholic Beverage Control State") And can't buy beer past midnight? Texas, it's 3 AM.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I left the Communistwealth. Texas drivers might be bad and the speed limit on I-30 is 85 MPH but can't go faster than 55 (unless you're on I-64 past the Virginia Beach-Chesapeake line... where it only increases 10 MPH to 65)? But TxDOT is a lot more forgiving and the drivers here might be like they're at Texas Motor Speedway on I-30, I-20, I-35W, I-35E and I-820... but hardly any reckless accidents. I bet Virginia drivers won't last 5 minutes on I-820.
And agreed with the commenter who said can't walk anywhere without someone yelling at you from their car window.
Stupid town. Glad I left.
Hmmm. I recognize this comment. I wrote it! But anyway, my thoughts echoed then still stands. Don't get me wrong, there is definitely something rotten in Virginia Beach still. The community mental health center, especially it's "psychosocial rehabilitation" program, Beach House on Magic Hollow Blvd is a bonafide cult. I was there, twice, and they claim they help. B.S.! All the help they give is a cult like control. Do as we say and we will help. Don't question or suggest anything else because they will call you whatever to justify putting you wherever they want. And I left Texas earlier last year back to Indiana. LOVING IT. Muncie is a BILLION times better than Virginia Beach. Yeah we might not have a lot to do, but we got Ball State! (bsu.edu) We also have the Minnetrista, and our bus system, MITS, is a lot better than HRT. A day pass with MITS is $1. AND HASN'T CHANGED SINCE 2003, when the Muncie Indiana Transit Authority last raised fares. I heard that HRT raised fares AGAIN??? Even a Trinity Metro (Fort Worth TX) day pass is cheaper than HRT! Get bent, Virginia Beach.
DeletePeople originally from California and the north east bitching about taxes in Virginia? Hilarious .
ReplyDeleteVa.beach you're the ass hole of the world. I hope a hurricane hits this year and wipes you out! Wc hillbilly lg

ReplyDeleteVB hates you too Stephanie! Lmfao. Tony says hi, lol.
ReplyDeleteVirginia Beach is full of snobs and racist police. Very hard to find good jobs or decent homes for lower income people. Basically you have to be a rich yuppie to survive here
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100%
DeleteBecause the type of work I do, I lived in diferent states along United States.
ReplyDeleteI found Virginia Beach to be the worst place I ever been. Most of he people are rude, unrestpectful, vicious and uneducated. They proud themselves of being jercks.
...Customer service in Virginia Beach is the worst you will get from enywhere.
Taxes are high, and you get taxed for everything. Rent and utilities are high, and also they will add unexpected non-sense fees and charges on your bills.
I'd lived in states and places that are bad, but always there's something good that will compensate for the bad things.
Here in Virginia Beach, there's nothing good to talk about.
" Virginia Beach is the worst place "
...also the roads and streets are bad. Even new paved roads comes with their bumps and holes.
DeleteIf you own a luxury or exotic car, don't bring it here. You won't enjoy the ride. You will be paying a lot for suspension repairs.
The repair shops are insanely expensive.
FUCK VIRGINIA BEACH !!!
ReplyDeleteI’ve lived here for almost 20 years and come to notice the people here are full of themselves. Even law enforcement. Everyone here are narcissistic, snobby military brats. Beach is always overcrowded and the humidity here is murder. Eventually I moved away because of the negative energy here. I hate this city soo much I hope a terrible storm comes and wipes it off the face of the earth. I would not shed a tear for that place.
