Ridgewood NJ, We have high density housing because of the author and commenters on this blog. People who know nothing about real estate law and development have dictated the conversation, and even more sadly have run the boards in Ridgewood. There are people who lead, and there are people who obstruct and impede progress. We have had the latter in leadership in Ridgewood until very recently.
The best example is High Mountain golf course in Franklin Lakes. Nobody wanted this to be developed. But it was worth far more as a development then a golf course (reality). Thanks to excellent leadership on the part of the mayor, Frank Bivona, and Kevin Boswell the town engineer; rather than stick their head in the sand and pretend that they could fight this, they negotiated the best possible deal they could with the developer while they still had leverage. Nobody is happy about it, but at least we do not have 600 units on that
property.

Ridgewood NJ, Village of Ridgewood Mayor Ramon M Hache on May 19th encouraged residents to wear a mask ,”While we have not had any new positive cases of COVID-19 in Ridgewood in nearly a week, we are still not out of the woods. As the lifting of restrictions has begun slowly, please continue to take precautions for your safety and the safety of others. Be particularly disciplined about wearing a mask in public. The continued lifting of restrictions, while welcomed, will be bringing us in closer proximity to others so we must continue to exercise extra care to avoid re-igniting the spread of the virus.
