I see that there has apparently been considerable interest in allowing for private development of Fort Monroe.? Seems like the right idea to me rather than pumping in untold Federal dollars in order to compete with the private sector:

The City of Hampton has recently received numerous unsolicited proposals for high-end residential and commercial development on the site once Fort Monroe is decommissioned. Because of the scarcity and desirability of waterfront property, the fort area is prime development property. The historic Chamberlin Hotel, for example, has already been sold to a developer and is being renovated as retirement apartments.

No, J. South, it's an evil plan to line the pockets of the wealthiest by giving the poor people a park to pitch their tents in when the lose their homes to the honorable action of the banks. On 600 acres, hundred of thousands of those homeless deadbeats can be crammed in, and leave the real housing to the deserving wealthy ... so they can house their pets in style.?
