The Enclave invites the community to an open exchange of information, pros and cons and all views, on Thursday, June 26 at 7 p.m. at the Ridgewood Library Arts Studio. I’ll certainly be there, and would like to suggest that we review these websites in advance for more background: downtownridgewood.com and citizensforabetterridgewood.com
The website for the developments is interesting. But a few suggestions:
The site should have more continuity. Each development should have its drawing on the first page. Then they should list the number and size of the units, the maintenance and the anticipated taxes.
They claim that they will be self sufficient for parking, but based on what? How many spots per unit?
There is no way that the addition of that many families will not impact congestion in the downtown.
They talk about “1.5 million net tax” but where did they pull that number from? The rumor v Reality section is not very good.
As I mentioned above, if I am going to downsize from a 4+ bedroom house I do not just want a smaller residence. i expect the carrying expenses to be downsized too. Otherwise I can buy a house in Saddle River.
The “bitching” has begun.
Looking for information is not “bitching”.
I am interested in the development as someone who will be downsizing soon. I would love to know,if this is a good deal for a buyer.
jjj
You are insane.
How do you qualify that article as “bitching”
The writer makes excellent points.
I’d rather not be on the same planet as slimy Ron Simoncini, much less the same room. I find his tactics off-putting, to say the least. Once more year in Ridgewood and then you’re out, right Ron?
The rendering of this building seems to be from the viewpoint of someone’s dog. The stoplights actually look taller than the building.
Why is our public library hosting a love fest for this developer?
