re: #264 Targetpractice

Folks these days never stop and consider how many cities are sitting one major decision away from becoming ghost towns. Case in point, the local news stations have talked for months now off and on about the moving of one of the carriers from NAS Norfolk to NAS Mayport in Florida. The point of the talk is the millions of dollars and hundreds of jobs that the Navy spends on that carrier going with it to Florida.

You want to see Virginia Beach become a ghost town in under a decade? Shut down NAS Oceana. When it’s all said and done, the only portions of the city left will all be located down at the Oceanfront, just like it was in the 50s.

Puerto Rico tried for years to get their bases closed, and when their wish came true, they wondered where their economy went.
