They did line up at Wesley and N. Beach - sort of. Then they didn't
know how to build or got delayed building. The delay enabled buyers
to walk - except so far with the ESP. From the people I had showed
the ESP to - many thought it was overpriced OR they didn't like the
sales approach where they "release" x number of units per week or
didn't have a price sheet for ALL the units. People were also
told "it will be construction zone, yes for the next few years or
more...." Ditto for the Steinbach -different demo - but many felt it
was and STILL is overpriced for what you get. Yes, it cheap compared
to NYC - but this isn't NYC. Yes, cookman has a vibe, but can be
deserted at 9pm during the week.
Housing creates taxes, so does retail - size matters when it comes to
taxes - except all those tax exempts.
Eatontown has a home run when it comes to their tax base - Rt 35, Rt
35, Industrial Way east/west. Very few tax exempt properties given
the size.
AP has no large industrial park, retail center etc that generate a
signifigant tax stream. Like collecting rent on land to make it
simple. You NEVER own your land - the muni does as they can tax you
til you move.
THATS WHY the BOARDWALK has to be improved. The CASINO has to be
reopened as does the PARAMOUNT. Next round of tax increases has to
hit Convention Hall and Paramount as they are beginning to make use
of the Paramount, the arcade, CH, the porches etc. They run a bar
outside etc etc. The tax has to be increased.
Casino will be taxed as well. All good. Let them maximize the sq ft
for offices and retail - more tax $.
Sunset Pav - get it renovated - more tax dollars as should all the
pavs be taxed. They all generate revenue for the owners.
Dan can make sense of where I'm going.
TAX 'em.
