Reader says Valley is just a bully in Need of New Management
Let us not forget the reason why Valley is a no, should be a no, and will always be a NO! Detriment, Detriment, Detriment! Valley makes me sick, not that sick, I won’t go there anymore! I believe Valley has both bully’s and morons at the helm. They are the spiteful ones who don’t give a darn about anyone but themselves. I saw in an article after their defeat that mentioned they should accept this decision and put forth reasonable variances that should be accepted if they need more room here and there…just like everyone else in this town. You are a non taxpaying pompous bully-Valley…stop the nonsense and conform.
No Judge, in his right mind is going to overturn this decision. By the time your mess is over, most of us will be long gone. Ridgewood needs to just get a Public Defender, for free, like Valley’s taxes. Don’t make all the taxpayers suffer! Let’s all figure that 2% cap increase on taxes for sure now. We figured on it anyway? Christie, is looking pretty good now? U liberal holes! “Boycott Valley “signs from CRR soon? I doubt it, a little to Politically Incorrect (but true)?. Enjoy the WE
Now the BLOG wants to run Valley ?
I have said it before. The gospital needs to replace half of the board members. They need new vision.
Not one board member has stepped aside in the interest of the hospital. They want the village to change but the board members do not see that they are the real problem for Valley Hospital.
WAH!!!!!!!!!! Your a bunch of bullies!
WAH!!!!!!!!!! I won’t go there anymore!
WAH!!!!!!!!!! NIMBY !
It’s halarious how the nay Sayers cling to a letter to the editor comment in the record from a planted MD.
And ANY judge on netrual ground will vote in the hospitals favor…you obliviously don’t understand
Juris prudence and how the hospitals rights have trampled on by the likes of CCR and little Paulie.
Oh yes, and let’s not forget the “public defender”….
For free….for the people of RIDGEWOOD.
Village?
What village?
Stop calling it a village….that died long ago.
The above statement or person claims no judge will overturn this, how does he or she know.
It’s called legal precedent #5
Hundreds of stated case law not only in nj but nation wide. It’s a classic example of “not in my backyard ”
When it comes to development of a project that benefits many but hurts a few. I have “zero” sympathy for the boneheads whom purchased property across from the hospital and now stand in the way of progress. For those whom insist on clinging to your “village” forget about it. That time passed long ago…this is a city now and as such it needs the proper infrastructure to continue to grow and support the transient population that lives in Ridgewood, educates there children on perceived “excellent schools” and then leaves the moment junior graduates. Don’t fool yourselfs….the municipal machine that the transient population created is not going away anytime soon and their posturing is fodder for the likes of CRR. The hospital will build, and rightly so. Don’t ask me to site precedent…..look it up yourself.
you are dreaming but keep talking ,you are just digging your own grave
whats that all about James?
Are you threating me?
What do you mean ” digging my own grave?
Are you suggesting that you are going to harm me or my family? If that’s the case then please explain….
I would like to document your comments for my counsel.
time to grow up , Valley tried to screw the whole town , in court a lot of dirty laundry will come out about Valleys business practices and how they have tried to “bully” the town . “Bully” being the politically correct work for a multitude of sins .
1. A 1997 amendment to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d codifies the Sica balancing test. Section d now provides:No variance or other relief may be granted under the terms of this section, including a variance or other relief involving an inherently beneficial use, without a showing that such a variance or other relief can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and will not substantially impair the intent and the purpose of the zone plan and zoning ordinance.[L. 1997, c. 145, § 1 (added language underlined).] – See more at: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/nj-superior-court-appellate-division/1121604.html#sthash.LK5KlF9b.dpuf
“substantial detriment to the public good ” kinda shoots your whole argument
Number 6, you sound bitter and unhappy.
Actually the boneheads are Valley’s management team and board of trustees that have wasted years trying to implement a plan through a confrontational process with their community. Think about what has happened over the past 10 years in healthcare and yet Valley is still trying to execute its plan from 20015. It has ignored the Affordable Care Act, the great recession, and once in a generation changes in how doctors and other healthcare providers operate. I can guarantee you no other healthcare provider is using any plans made in 2005. And now Valley is facing a much bigger, more nimble HUMC, which is only getting stronger. If you are a physician thinking about aligning your practice with a larger healthcare network – where are you going to go – to a system that is still trying to implement a 10 year old plan, or one that is dynamic and growing and will be able to lower your costs and not cause patients to leave you. Valley should sell to HUMC. But they won’t because I am pretty sure HUMC won’t pay Audrey and her executive team millions of dollars per year.
Where does it say ” expand” for the public good ? How about ” update what you have ” for the public good. Won’t the relative still hold a job ?
Why can’t Valley do what the University Medical Center of Princeton did when the residents said they didn’t want development in their neighborhood.
The hospital moved.
Why can’t Valley build separate buildings. Renovate for one specialty on Van Dien for example and have other buildings near by doing other stuff?
Why not?
I am #9. I meant the findLaw article to be a response to #6.
I do not think that a lawsuit will have a good outcome for Valley.
The hospital and some of their supporters try to portray this as a Nimby issue but they are deceiving no one. I live on the eastside but far enough away from the hospital but my children go to BF and this is not an acceptable project for my family. I believe other areas have come to realize that there are negative ramifications for all. Election results time and time again show widespread discontent with this attempt.
Valley’s proposals are and have been ridiculous propositions to consider. No judge in his right mind will side with Valley. This expansion is too massive for this property. The towns majority and council have voted over and over and they refuse to accept these decisions? What a huge waste of time and money. Valley’s expansion is a clear detriment to Ridgewood, not the NIMBY’s. However, the NIMBYs we’re told that the hospital can’t expand any further on this property when they purchased so please stop these comments that it’s a select few who live around the hospital. It’s not.
WRONG #18…..ANY judge in a netural position looking at the FACTS in an unclouded environment can and will see the benefit the hospital provides
to thousands of bergen county residents. remember, it’s not all about you.
the NIMBY issue is relevant, always has been, always will be…to think that your reliance on no expansion is beacuse “we were told” is laughable at best and
pretty pathetic business skills when buying real estate next to a medical facility.
and stop saying “towns majority”, that is wrong as well. and #17 think’s its NOT a NIMBY issue because they live on the eastside yet in the next breath starts complaining because junior goes to BF and that’s not “acceptable”??? what?
it’s all about YOU YOU YOU….well, guess what? that’s about to change.
lol got to laugh , cant wait ti see Mr Drill try his antics in front of a Federal Court Judge , good luck with that
#19 Did you ever stop to think (probably not) that maybe “ANY judge” would conclude, as most people in Ridgewood have, that Valley could continue serving all these Bergen residents by updating what they have, or, better yet, purchasing and building what they “need” elsewhere ?
For a change, try and be intelligent and objective with your answer.
#19 FACTS:
1) Vote is NO
2) Revise with no real changes…Vote is still NO
3) FACT: Hospital is already too large for this parcel of land in Ridgewood.
4) FACT: Hospital is in a residential neighborhood, right next to a middle school.
5) FACT: This is not a hardship case and expansion has been determined to be a detriment at this location.
6) FACT: Instead of accepting these rulings, Valley now seeks to sue Ridgewood.
7) FACT: Valley has other options and better options. They have many parcels of land that they have begun expansion on (Blood Bank, Children’s Museum, etc)
8) QUESTION: If Valley real feels that a judge will side with them why are they buying and developing all these other sites? ANSWER: Just in case they lose?
They know they will lose but still can’t accept it. #19 could be Drill? I accept my status as a clouded environment. BTW: Drill in front of this judge will turn into a pussy cat. His horrific treatment of many at the hearings will not happen. He has left the kangaroo court in Ridgewood
