Wait. Who are you to say that residents or prospect residents are looking to live in mini cities? This is just propaganda that goes hand in hand with the Halaby & Co narrative. Residents do not want their village to grow but to preserve identity and integrity. Unfortunately just like in the whole society of ours those who scream the most win. Add in the mix a clueless VC which seems more like a celebrity cast than chosen politicians to manage a village and you have a mess which will only further deteriorate Ridgewood.
“Preserve the identity and integrity of Ridgewood”? What on earth does that mean?
Millennials are looking for hybrid suburbs, suburban with city amenities. https://www.genfkd.org/do-millennials-prefer-cities-suburbs
Millennials want walkability and convenience,” says Ducker. “They have a higher transit use propensity than those in the past, and they want to be within walking distance of shopping and dining. The problem with the existing suburban housing stock in America is that it just doesn’t provide that. .”https://www.curbed.com/2016/6/21/11956516/millennial-first-time-home-trends-suburbs
Ridgewood housing turns over, people moving out are usually replaced with younger people moving in. That has always been the market. Millennials are not looking for a sleepy suburb. Ridgewood id poised to be the hybrid suburd that they seek. Embrace your customer.
The 1980’s called… they want their quaint village back…
Well said 9:39.
Yea, so says young America. Org….please…
M’s are not looking to Ridgewood as their utopia so the sooner your get that through your cloistered Ridgewood noggin the better served we’ll all be. THEIR NOT COMING TO RIDGEWOOD. Their parents left years ago and as we speak many many others and laying plans to bolt. What’s here? Overrated schools, corrupt VH with absurd taxes feeding the union scumbags that laugh as you get on the train every fu?!&$g day? They love it! And your to stupid to do anything about it. And many are not…we have a sign in front of our house…BYE FELICA.
