>Valley Renewal : The little guy who goes to work every day and pays taxes does not matter!
I don’t agree that Valley Hospital is a non-profit that serves the greater good nor do I agree with the scale of what they are looking to do. The Westwood area wants a good Hospital the a large number of us do not want Valley to expand to the degree they are demanding. In a perfect world the people of Ridgewood and Westwood would get what they want.
But, this is not a perfect world it is the real world. The sad truth is that Ridgewood was urbanized years ago and many of us still long for the Ridgewood of the past. A Ridgewood that is long gone.
I hate to admit it but the Valley expansion is a foregon conclusion. If the Village does not approve it Valley will go to court and the courts will approval all or most of the plan.
I truly wish I would turn out to be wrong, but a lifetime of dealing with government and big business tell me otherwise. The little guy who goes to work every day and pays taxes does not matter!
