Urbanization: Has any one on the VC done ANY analysis of the economic impact of such projects?
Jamuary 6,2013
If it involves building in the CBD there will be no discussion as long as Mayor Ahronson and Mr. Puccarelli are in the leadership it will be build, build, build with no thought to how this is going to destroy our village. There are currently 3 housing projects, plus the additional one to be discussed tomorrow night (Ken Smith) as well as the parking garage before the planning board and council. If all of these are built it will be the end to Ridgewood as we know it. Wake up everyone…….. You are going to pay for this overbuilding one way or another.
Has any one on the VC done ANY analysis of the economic impact of such projects? Supporters of this or any similar project should at least come up with one spreadsheet or slide showing the costs and benefits to the village and the assumptions they’ve made as part of their analysis. This council advances its plans in vague “political speak” and really has not shown much in the way of detail to support the projects that they’re putting forward. Do the math please.
The people have spoke and elected these officials including their plans and ideas so deal with it or move.
“Change has come to Ridgewood.”
Isn’t that the mantra of these people?
am i the only one that thinks that since this blog changed formats right before the election in may it’s been completely useless as a communication tool for ridgewood residents? all the reporting of matt drudge links pushes the stories that make this blog interesting to ridgewood off the front page. having comments posted with numbers that change when someone else comments eliminates the potential to comment back to someone directly.
in the name of making ad money the staff of the ridgewood blog is doing a disservice to the community it says it wants to serve. go back to the old format so we have a useful tool to pressure the VC to keep ridgewood a village.
