Why Virginia Beach, Virginia might be annoying:

    The city's two main sources of revenue are from tourism and defense manufacturing.
    The town's Hampton Roads area was considered as a viable prospect for major-league professional sports, and regional leaders have attempted to obtain an MLB, NFL, NBA, or NHL team.
    However, the city has yet to have a professional sports team (as of 2011).
    Local law prohibits use of profanity along the boardwalk.
    The city started running out of clear land available for new construction above the Green Line, an urban growth boundary dividing the urban northern and rural southern sections of the city.
