One cloud of magickal developer thinking officially disperses.

The City Council on Tuesday officially killed the controversial deal to build a four-star Hyatt hotel near the Virginia Beach Convention Center, an action that opens the door to other proposals.

While the public-private partnership was all but dead after losing political support earlier this year, the City Council’s action was needed to end exclusive negotiations with Armada Hoffler, the development company that would have built the hotel.

You can be certain that, even as I type, small circles of developers gather in their mystical circles conference rooms, weaving their mysterious Points of Power, preparing new incantations to entice an unwitting public to burn yet more money on the altar of empty conference centers, vacant hotels, and broken projections.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
