Readers look to rename Village as council sells out to developers
Absolutely dead on regarding the Village ( https://theridgewoodblog.net/ridgewood-will-pay-the-price-if-zoning-changes-are-approved/ ) — our so-called planner sat on the witness stand dithering about how the “devil is in the details” but how conceptually this is great for some undefined state goals about putting housing on rail road tracks. Its appalling and pathetic that we have a council in place that will allow the Village’s demise.
Perhaps we should have contest for the new name of the Village once our master plan is ditched because council members don’t have the back bone to stand up to the developers, or they are being guided by their own self-interest to sell out the Village.
The sky is falling,help,help the sky is falling says chicken little.
I will submit a name as soon as I come out of Meditation Room.
The city of ” — USE TO BE”
Village of CBD and BOE in Decline… or Village of Resting on its Laurels
Or #4 “The City of Developers get Rich” Or The City of the Landlords get Rich.” Or the City of Carpetbaggers”
New Hackensack
ROCKS ROLL DOWNHILL-
I’ve always favored “ValleyWood” but “New Hackensack” would be a close second. After all, once we go to 94′, we’ll have a city feel anyway.
How about renaming Ridgewood ” Williamsburg West” . That sounds more trendy and upscale.
Limousine liberalville
North Montclair
Village of Idiot
Smellville
Snaketown
Snarky City
Ridgewood’s a blue collar Village now based on all of the $100K public sector pensionistas on this blog who have nothing better to do but gripe about how they’re getting screwed by the rest of us after a distinguished “country club” career protecting us from baddies like Tommy boy Rica. We should all be so grateful.

You clearly fit 5 of the 7 Qualities of Chronically Unhappy People.
https://sociopathlife.com/2014/11/25/7-qualities-of-chronically-unhappy-people/
1. Your default belief is that life is hard.
Most all Sociopaths fall into the ‘Victimhood’ category!
2. You believe most people can’t be trusted.
A Sociopath is threatened by everyone, and they assume so much about so many different things.
3. You concentrate on what’s wrong in this world versus what’s right.
4. You compare yourself to others and harbor jealousy. Unhappy people believe someone else’s good fortune steals from their own. They believe there’s not enough goodness to go around and constantly compare yours against theirs. This leads to jealousy and resentment. {Could this have been written specifically for you!!! Hmmm}
6 You consider your future with worry and fear. There’s only so much rent space between your ears. Unhappy people fill their thoughts with what could go wrong versus what might go right.
I hope you can learn to be happy someday.
