>Valley’s former standing as a friend to its town has plummeted and probably will never return
While those who live near Valley have understandably been the most outspoken about this issue, their views on the proposed expansion and reworking of the Master Plan are shared by many who live elsewhere in town. The thing is, we sometimes leave home! The “Back Yard” of NIMBY in this case stands for ALL of Ridgewood.
As many note, bigger equals bigger, not necessarily better. Valley should be ashamed of itself for persisting tooth and nail, with a fake “grassroots” website and endless ads and other expensive marketing efforts, in the face of such intense and broad-based opposition.
Valley’s former standing as a friend to its town has plummeted and probably will never return.
