Reader says the first requirement for a town planner is to care about the town
The first requirement for a town planner is to care about the town and what it is and why residents don’t want high density development.
Blais has no affection for Ridgewood. He sings Ridgewood like a robot, comparing him to Bruce Spingsteen singing Rise Up.
If I were making plans for anything I CARED about I would not say the proposed huge change would benefit on one side of my mouth and on the other say the devil is in the details and there will be some (unknown) impact. I wouldn’t recommend unless I was damn sure for something so truly lovely, and charming as Ridgewood. Why turn Ridgewood into a high density town, Blais and company?
Blaise doesn’t care about this town.
