Red Cross To Sell Ridgewood Facility

by Paul Nichols
Monday, Jul 20, 2015

The American Red Cross North Jersey Region has announced it will be placing its Ridgewood location at 74 Godwin Avenue on the market in the upcoming weeks. The move comes as part of the organization’s 2017 planning strategy is the utilization optimization of Red Cross facilities.

Currently, the Red Cross North Jersey Region operates out of 13 facilities, some of which are under-utilized and others that are in need of significant repair. The North Jersey Region is in the process of reviewing its real estate footprint taking into account its service delivery, volunteer operations, training locations and storage needs.

The vast majority of Red Cross program and services in Ridgewood and across the region are performed out in the community and not at the organization’s brick and mortar locations, the organization wrote in a statement. The Red Cross remains committed to ensuring residents in all of our communities, including Ridgewood, continue to receive Red Cross services.

Fuller impact of home foreclosure debacle hits N.J.

JULY 19, 2015 LAST UPDATED: SUNDAY, JULY 19, 2015, 12:13 AM
BY RICHARD NEWMAN
STAFF WRITER |
THE RECORD

The number of New Jersey home repossessions by lenders has soared in the past two years and is on track to increase again in 2015, in sharp divergence to the national trend.

Completed foreclosures, where banks and mortgage companies have taken the homes, climbed 34 percent in the state last year, to about 5,780, after an 11 percent surge in 2013, according to The Record’s analysis of RealtyTrac data. By contrast, on the national level, completed foreclosures fell by double digits in each of the past three years.

In the first three months of this year, Bergen County was on pace to nearly double last year’s total of sheriff’s auction sales with 201 properties sold.

A CoreLogic report released Tuesday showed that in May 4.9 percent of mortgaged homes in New Jersey were completed foreclosures, the top rate in the country. The percentage of homes where the mortgages are seriously delinquent also was the highest at 8.4 percent.

The statistics indicate the foreclosure debacle, which has eased in other states following the housing meltdown that began in 2007, may only now be peaking in New Jersey, where foreclosures had been crawling through the system.

Economics 101 of the Hudson Street Village Parking Garage

July 15,2015

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, normally we do not publish theses comments , because they lack even the most rudimentary understanding of basic economics and are an attempt to lie and mislead the public, but from time to time we find it necessary to publish these types of comments to show how the powers that be attempt to manipulate
the local taxpayers.

“Ridgewood is being groomed for cash cow status by a handful of entrepreneurs who have invested in the old BoA building, the Old Post Office, Park West among others. They’ve spent a considerable amount of money to open establishments in the CBD, and now want to increase the foot traffic needed to make them profitable. Notice that Kidville has no parking? If the clientele is all based in CBD apartments, no parking will be needed.

I find it fascinating that the readers of this “Laissez-faire” blog have a problem with any of this. This is business at work, and the Master Plan is the only thing in the way. Or are we all NIMBY Libertarians here? Regulation is bad, unless it preserves something near and dear to our hearts? You can’t have it both ways.

Property values, especially those within walking distance of the CBD, will only go up as dining an recreation options multiply.

My only problems with the whole agenda is that it relies on New Jersey Transit’s deteriorating service to transport all the new residents to work in NYC. That, and the schools will suffer. I’m already making a backup plan for my daughter if the High School goes the way I think it will between now an when she is in 9th grade.”

This gave everyone and exceptional laugh .There is so much wrong with this comment showing the level of dishonesty that some are willing to go in an attempt to “get over”

first a definition :

lais·sez-faire
ˌlesā ˈfer/
noun

a policy or attitude of letting things take their own course, without interfering.
synonyms:noninterventionist, noninterventional, noninterfering; More

ECONOMICS
abstention by governments from interfering in the workings of the free market.
“laissez-faire capitalism”
synonyms:free enterprise, free trade, nonintervention, free-market capitalism,market forces
“an agenda that embraces the concept of laissez-faire”

Humm no where in the definition of lais·sez-faire does it say taxpayers will finance , and bear the risk for ill conceived business ventures ,in exchange for campaign donations due to changes in existing laws making these ventures possible ie the change in the master plan .

Private enterprise works because it rewards and punishes risk takes .

What you have hear is better known as Crony Capitalism

Crony capitalism is a term describing an economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between business people and government officials. It may be exhibited by favoritism in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, or other forms of state interventionism.

Which the above comment carefully avoided saying and we corrected : “you missed the Hudson county democrat machine which our mayor represents and is here to milk this town for all its got , the only business people getting deals down town are those contributing”

Our suggestion for the above poster is to move back to Hoboken , its a far better fit for the kind of place you want to live .

For those looking to enlighten themselves on basic economic theory we recommend :

Reader Calls full day kindergarten gross overreach for the state to mandate

Everything that the council is doing affects our schools

Schools are the largest part of our tax bill – that is a fact. That does not mean that the schools are not accountable.

It will be a gross overreach for the state to mandate full day kindergarten. I am starting to agree with Rick Perry that we need to abolish the Department of Education. Government is best which governs least.

Many parents actually enjoy spending the AM/PM with their children. We had activites and time with friends when the kids were in kindergarten. My kids did very well in elementary school, high school and college. Your kids will not go to Harvard because they had full day kindergarten.

NYC has preschool and middle school after care programs. The need for these programs in a city is not the same as for programs in Ridgewood. In the city the schools are the place where many students receive two meals a day and get health screening. Working parents do not have the time for homework and reading to the kids. Children need the time in school as a social safety net.

I paused my career to be home with my kids and never regretted it. If working parents need babysitting then they should hire someone. My taxes should not go to support someone’s child care needs. Maybe dad/mom can work from home or with flex time. You will never look back and say that you wished that you spent more time at work.

North Jersey home sales are up, but prices flat, in the spring selling season

RidgewoodRealestatesign_theridgewoodblog2

THE RECORD

Tom Andes put his mother’s Lyndhurst house on the market in late March — and had three offers after the first open house.

Andes sees a couple of reasons for the quick action: a low supply of homes on the market and a demand for properties that are an easy commute to New York City. And, he said, “we asked the right price” — $295,000.

Andes’ experience sums up some of the major trends of the spring market — a market that continues to recover from the worst housing downturn since World War II. The number of sales is up, as a stronger economy draws more first-time buyers — a population that largely had been unwilling or unable to buy — back into the market. And inventories are tight.

But buyers are still wary about overpaying, leaving median prices unchanged for the past year.

“Buyers are very price-conscious,” said George Rosko of Better Homes and Gardens Coccia Realty in Lyndhurst, who was the listing agent on the Andes house. “If you’re overpriced, people drive by.”

The spring selling season is an important barometer of the housing market because spring is when many buyers come out, in hopes of being in their new home by the time school starts in the fall. Several North Jersey agents say the winter’s cold, snowy weather delayed the start of spring activity.

Landscaping projects used to create privacy

JUNE 21, 2015 LAST UPDATED: SUNDAY, JUNE 21, 2015, 1:20 AM
BY JENNIFER V. HUGHES
SPECIAL TO THE RECORD |
THE RECORD

Given that New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the nation, it’s easy to understand why a bit of privacy from your neighbors may be hard to come by.

But the right plantings, trees, fencing and other elements can give your yard a little bit of seclusion. A big key is knowing what your town does — and does not — allow.

Leesa Povinelli hired John Freitag, co-owner of Yellow Wagon Landscaping in Ridgefield, to landscape her Ridgefield home to provide a little more privacy. Several years ago he planted a row of arborvitae along the rear, and later this year he’ll put in a line of burning bushes, a deciduous shrub.

“Burning bushes are great,” Freitag said. “They grow aggressively, like 8-10 inches a year and they have super dense leaves so you can’t see through them at all and then they get a nice fire engine red in the fall.”

Povinelli has a 5-foot-tall chain link fence around her property, and her neighbors have different styles of fences, so she was looking to also make her yard look more cohesive. She loved the quick-growing nature of the arborvitae, the skinny evergreen often used to create a soft line of vegetation.

Discussion misses on key points about concussions

To the Editor:

With four grandchildren in the Ridgewood school system and an epidemiologist’s interest in athletic health, I attended the June 1 session on “What You Should Know About Concussions in Youth Sports” at Benjamin Franklin Middle School.

The session was for the most part limited to concussion recognition and management, rather than the increasingly clear long-term risks, including premature dementia. There was no effective critique of the current “Return to Play after Concussion” protocols, which, for a variety of well-documented reasons, simply will not work. Essentially, these protocols allow us to feel good that something is being done while they enable denial of any serious short or long term risks.

There was no serious discussion of the inception of chronic traumatic encephalopathy and the accumulation of tau protein in the brain following some concussions, or multiple concussions. This cannot now be evaluated by scanning, but we know from autopsy studies the process can begin at a young age, especially in pee-wee leagues and high school football. In the settlement with the players union, the NFL has conceded the relationship of concussion to a variety of neurogentive conditions, including premature dementia.

The magnitude of the association is as yet unclear, although a study commissioned by the NFL suggests that premature dementia is five times more common by age 50 in NFL players who can remember their past concussions. The connection was easier when boxing was a much more prevalent amateur sport. “Dementia Pugilistica” is the main reason why boxing disappeared as an undergraduate sport by about 1950. The long “incubation” period between concussions in youth sports and dementia has given rise to much denial. If we drew an analogy to the devastating smoking and cancer story, long resisted as a “mere statistical association” by the tobacco interests, it seems we are at 1955, with about 10 years to go before the Surgeon General’s report, “Smoking and Cancer,” appeared in 1964.

There was talk of child athletes taking “big hits” to head and body, but no one asked why that was necessary to impart the values of team play, discipline, character, etc. The 15-year athletic injury surveillance project of the NCAA, 1988 to 2003, and published in 2007, establishes the rates and patterns of serious injury by gender in several commonly played sports. With young men, football causes about half the serious injuries, including concussion, for all the sports covered in the study. The public health impact of these relationships is even greater than they seem, since football teams are much larger than the others and thus more children are exposed to higher risk.

Finally, schools exist to nurture minds, not put them at risk – short and/or long term. It seems time for a prudent review of the objectives of sports activities sponsored by publically funded schools and the sports we choose to sponsor to achieve these goals.

Obama making bid to diversify wealthy neighborhoods

By Tim Devaney – 06/11/15 06:00 AM EDT

The Obama administration is moving forward with regulations designed to help diversify America’s wealthier neighborhoods, drawing fire from critics who decry the proposal as executive overreach in search of an “unrealistic utopia.”

A final Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rule due out this month is aimed at ending decades of deep-rooted segregation around the country.

The regulations would use grant money as an incentive for communities to build affordable housing in more affluent areas while also taking steps to upgrade poorer areas with better schools, parks, libraries, grocery stores and transportation routes as part of a gentrification of those communities.

“HUD is working with communities across the country to fulfill the promise of equal opportunity for all,” a HUD spokeswoman said. “The proposed policy seeks to break down barriers to access to opportunity in communities supported by HUD funds.”

It’s a tough sell for some conservatives. Among them is Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), who argued that the administration “shouldn’t be holding hostage grant monies aimed at community improvement based on its unrealistic utopian ideas of what every community should resemble.”

“American citizens and communities should be free to choose where they would like to live and not be subject to federal neighborhood engineering at the behest of an overreaching federal government,” said Gosar, who is leading an effort in the House to block the regulations.

TRENTON – A mixed group of firefighters, labor leaders, local residents, architects and real estate developers descended on a state Senate community and urban affairs committee meeting in Trenton on Monday to debate an issue burning in their minds: should construction code regulations change statewide, especially in the aftermath of a Bergen County blaze earlier this year that torched an Edgewater apartment complex.
