Reader says The idea that we need a developer’s attorney to tell us what is and is not a fact is insulting, preposterous and condescending

high density housing Ridgewood

Members of the public suggesting that the proposed development project, when built, will produce unavoidable, intractable problems with vehicular and pedestrian traffic at the intersection of Broad Street and Franklin Avenue, reflect common sense and need not be deemed “out of order” by Saraceno’s henchmen. The idea that we need a developer’s attorney to tell us what is and is not a fact, and what to think of a given fact in terms of what it portends for our lives as Village residents, and that we can’t legitimately rely on our own minds and common sense, is insulting, preposterous and condescending. This is too reminiscent of the Valley travails before the planning board and we shouldn’t be so willing to put up with it now that we are familiar with the tactic.

  1. Agree wholeheartedly. Tired of being insulted by highly paid lackies. It’s disgusting.

  2. So where is all the concern at meetings. Where is the public outcry when the public h the chance to speak??

  3. Hold fast to those common sense ideas that made Ridgewood great.

  4. 7:47 What are you talking about? A lot of people spoke the other night. Hoping MANY more come on the 16th. Do it!

  5. The best was when the applicant’s attorney started a staetment with this intro….”To tell the truth….” Really?!?!? So you mean the rest of the time he is NOT telling the truth??? Oh lord, what a lowlife.
