Reader says Valley hasn’t even broken ground and people are already leaving
Remember ” build it and they will come?” Just what you want in Ridgewood…a medical center to rival Hackensack and St. Joseph’s. Please don’t be dumb enough to think that can’t happen, because in both cases it did.
The photo with the “For Sale” sign is the real thing. Valley hasn’t even broken ground and people are already leaving—selling their houses for much less than they would have had Valley not been pressing this issue. Already homes are turning into rentals, and at least one owner has had to “short sell” his home. Others have been bought as second homes and are not maintained properly because the owners don’t spend a lot of time here. THIS IS HAPPENING, FOLKS. Those of us who actually live here know what this will do to our neighborhoods.
Sadly, Valley officials know it too—they just don’t care
As in all markets, no one likes uncertainty. In case you have not noticed, Ridgewood has been getting a lot of bad press lately, from the Valley issue, the PS&G poles, over development in the CBD, the Graydon pool team, you name it, this town is making the headlines. All negative.
Changing the MP to accommodate Valley will only make things a lot worse for everyone who lives here. And the press will have a field day !
Some of the houses on Van Dien seem to turnover more than others in the neighborhood.
The one at the corner of Meadowbook is up for sale again, that one has resold about three times in the last 10 years.
Maybe it is haunted.
