What are you referring to Dan? I know for a fact, I was there, that everyone who lived in the 2 apt. buildings under renovation were treated more than fairly in their relocation, and, might I add, at the expense of the property owners. All the people living in the 90 or so apartments were either relocated to other apartments at the same rent with extended leases with the moving costs covered by the buildings owners. The gangsters, thugs, ne'er do wells and those low lifes who lived in self imposed rancid conditions were forcefully evicted by due process in the courts. Hopefully they didn't relocate in Asbury and went into some type of rehabilitation program for people who don't know how to throw garbage in a garbage can and take it out once or twice a week. In Long Branch, the city set up programs to not only assist those being moved out by redevelopment, but they also were engaged in leasing homes and fixing those houses up so that the people who were moved out by redevelopment were able to move "up" in terms of their dwellings. No such programs exist in Asbury. I have heard from many citizens of Asbury Park, and many more police and detectives that the cleanup of the 300 block of Asbury Park is a good thing. That low life scumbags are moved out is not a bad thing, that nice people who contribute to their community can soon move is in fact one of the positive things happening in Asbury that is real. As for the water park I drove by there on Saturday, if that cost 800 thousand dollars to build, someone pulled a fast one. Anyone can go to city hall and put in a request for public records of the accounting of the 800 thousand dollar water park, perhaps one of the activists on this forum can do so and report back to us. In the very next post, Joe D' absolutely embarrasses himself with his use of the term white woman. Though his points are well worth considering. Remember, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it ain't a goose, Canadian or otherwise. Yahoo!
