The over-developers paired with the Paul V.s of the village are playing the long game to draw families here to multi bedroom rentals with our schools as the magnetic force. It is very simple. Problem is, our schools are over capacity and our high school is well past capacity. So, how will our schools stay at the top? They can’t. That doesn’t concern the local developer, he’ll have sold by then. It will be someone else’s problem. It is simple and undeniably true. They lie about Brogan and Ken Smith parking spaces needing to be replaced, spots that are not a part of the public parking inventory. “Smiling faces with hidden agendas”.
The garage is the Trojan Horse. The village now admits, we don’t need more parking, we don’t even utilize what we have.
The full day kindergarten should be voted DOWN in Nov. When studies were presented for multifamily housing, the ‘expert’ assumed new staffing for full day kindergarten was already in place. If we vote the full day Kindergarten down, then the schools will not have funding for new teachers needed to serve newly built apartments. At that point hopefully the builders will be charged an impact fee, instead of sneaking the higher cost caused due to apartments in the name of the KG program.
So, reduce the quality of life in hopes of making others not want to move here. Good strategy, moron.
“reduce the quality of life” ?????????????????????????????
Hey moron 11:35.
qual·i·ty of life
noun
noun: quality of life
the standard of health, comfort, and happiness experienced by an individual or group.
“the things that are needed for a good quality of life”
Our schools aren’t even top 25…. Amazing smugness when our schools don’t even score as high as Glenrock, Teaneck , etc. Ridgewood schools have been in decline for many years, the only magnetic force is called resting on past glories, or maybe the greed of the REA which values health benefits over our kids
People wake up – the schools aren’t what they used to be. Anyone drawn to schools would choose Summit, Glenrock or Teaneck over Ridgewood
Hey moron 11:58. Thanks for M-W copy pasta. I bet in your head you thought you were making some kind of point, but for the rest of us here in reality-land, you accomplished nothing.
Voting down a village service just to spite special interests is stupid. I’ll take full day K AND no apartments in town. You want to kill the golden goose that keeps your property values high (that would be our school system, in case Merriam-Webster doesn’t spell that out for you), that’s fine. Don’t do it in my town.
12:33- Don’t you mean Tenafly instead of Teaneck ? Boy, I certainly hope so.
Teaneck must be a joke.
All day k will increase taxes not property values.
Kindergarten will not be the deciding factor for a home purchase.
12.38 ….whoops ‘copy pasta ‘ is this a new special at Fish….moron fest…not so cool…
Yeahh….”copy pasta” has been in internet / tech lexicon for at least 15 years. It means what you think it does. Also, I would avoid Fish if I were you. They weren’t even able to get a good review from The Record. The bar looks impressive, though.
Moron.
It is a FACT that RHS doesn’t come close to Chatham, Northern Highlands, New Providence, Summit etc. Check the rankings. A school with over 1700 students has no chance of being at the top. Overcrowded and overhyped. Look at the colleges these kids are going to and compare with the aforementioned schools. The difference is clear.
Yep, 5:49 nailed it
Look at the rankings….look at the rankings…look at the rankings.
So your sending your child to a particular college because of a ranking your looking at? Is that how your doing it?
your completely wrapped up in the perception that where you go to college is the most important determinant for your child’s future success.
Is that all you have ? Tell me theres more to this then just pie charts and 100 million dollar budgets. Tell me that your not imposing the regimented, linear path to success that has been beaten into you since birth on your child and instead your letting your child tell their own story.
The pathos attached to your comment above is a nothing more than a justification for your existence here in Ridgewood. A rather sad state of affairs.
appears the Goldbergs moron spewing dad has arrived..that’s deep thinking…
What is sad 10:24 is the abuse and unprintable things said in private to our our elected BOE board members by your Union, the REA and the NJEA. I can only imagine how nasty the tactics would be if these hard working volunteers had kids in the schools. Shame on you and your thuggish Union. You people are the pits.
