Reader said, “Nice to see that ya’ll are finally taking your head out of your asses and realize that you have been getting screwed for years. And James, stop with the Union City crap. It’s getting old. We don’t need “massive upgrades” to anything. Do we need extra capacity to bring the town into the future? Sure. But your doomsday predictions because a few developers understand what the towns future residents want is classic of the Ridgewood NIMBY attitude that keeps anything from moving around here. Including how the municipal govt. works. You want change or will you continue to bitch and moan anytime anyone takes action. We can’t move forward if you insist on remaining in the past.”
Best for you to take your head out of the sand ,
Ridgewood as a nice place to live was virtually destroyed by the prior council or the 3 Amigos. The push to turn Ridgewood into Union city , with high density housing creates a need for massive upgrades of the Village infrastructure . This will take a decade , water, sewer, traffic, schools ,police , fire and so on all need massive taxpayer funded upgrades thanks to the actions of the 3 amigos and Roberta . The Villages ability to increase revenue has also been curtailed by giveaway contracts and bad leases . So no one with any sense will stop blaming the Paul Aronsohn , Gween and Uncle Albert as well as their side kick flunky Roberta
Ridgewood Water cannot even continue supplying existing residents as it used to.
But “We don’t need “massive upgrades” to anything.” – says as person (and we can all figure out who this is).
“a few developers understand what the towns future residents want”
So the developers know the needs ot some fictional people who no one knows? Fascinating – tell us more!!
James, I may not know what our town truly needs in regard to infrastructure, but what I do know is, we do not need any more name calling and flat out bullying from a man with a blog or a kid on the playground. If you have an argument, then, by all means, present it, but leave the name calling out of it. How can we expect to create peace in the world when grown educated people choose to incite division in their very own neighborhood. Please for the love of humanity, stop!
Merry Christmas
Totally agree 2:21. So many posts here satisfy people’s road rage impulses. The disrespectful tones detract from the good arguments.
Don’t come here if you don’t like what you see.
