Didn’t this administration run on no more development? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This development started years ago. The previous admin allowed them to be built higher than the restrictions. No good reason was given. I’m sure you were upset with that mayor too. Right?
You can be mad at the current mayor if it makes you feel better, but this development was already set in stone.
Who needs politics. They are dividing the world.
Whether it was approved or not, this administration campaigned on no more development. Let’s point fingers and blame Trump like all liberals do.
That makes no logical sense. I’m no fan of the current mayor but I think we should stick with being angry with the things he’s actually done. The former mayor is largely responsible for this eyesore (along with a whole host of other issues) Running on curbing development means just that. You can’t stop projects that were already approved. Has this mayor made mistakes? Absolutely! But let’s focus our criticism on the appropriate person.
I’m not sure how Trump made it into this conversation. I checked my previous post and see no mention of him. This isn’t about party, it’s about assigning blame appropriately.
Belmar can better handle its affordable housing obligation by letting developers sue with their “Builders Remedy”.
Benefits include:
20% affordable dwellings built (not bought down)
no payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT)
no affordable housing bureaucracy at taxpayers expense
I agree Gene. At this point I would take my chances that a judge would do less harm than these current plans will do. Let the builders remedy commence.
“Affordable” housing for a project like this would still have a price tag that few of us could afford. Everyone seems to freak out when they hear there will be a small percentage of affordable units. But it’s a relative calculation, and with prices the way they are, even the affordable units are not cheap.
