Another thing that needs to be considered, and I know Oak has mentioned this
before
If there were to be 3000 condos built, who is to say 2500 of those units
wouldn't be bought as "2nd Homes" for Summer usage . We see this a lot as it is
with the single family homes. Condos would be more appealing for this due to
maintence and such.
That would end up hurting our waterfront business' in the winter months. Where
as if you have a 60/40 mix of rental/condo, you're practically ensuring year
round residency, thus providing ample bodies in and out of the waterfront
stores/restaurants
Traffic to me isn't a concern, we live in a city, that means, noise, traffic, a
lot of people etc
And lastly, any condo/apt buildings that are built better come with a large
parking garage under it, or we'll have serious parking issues

I think the word "support" is key:
Can the sewerage plant support the effluent from 3,000 units?
Can the streets support the one and/or two-car traffic from those who live in
the condos?
And, if they are all weekenders, how will that traffic affect the quality of
life for those who live in Asbury Park year-round?
Would Kingsley evolve into a Cross-Bronx Expressway-like divider, making a new
distinction between east and west?

Depends. Depends on where you price it, amenities etc. Need a better mix of
apartments, condos, hotels etc - and then your mix of retail.
A well thought mix from starter units on up and you build a community, a
destination a city - or the new "lifestyle" center. cookman ave is slowly
redeveloping itself - slowly but an evolving lifestyle center - without B&N, PF
Changs, Jonny Rockets and the Gap.
Hopefully more office space comes to town, more day traffic - medical, high
tech, design etc.
Before they finish repaving Lake Ave into a super highway - would of been nice
to see all of lake ave redesigned. sure you need parking, but making it
narrower
or adding a median or rethinking the curb lines with bump outs - or lakeside
dining would be real nice touch.
As for dan's Asbury Ave problem - Sunset's an exit as is heading north along
Ocean Ave into Allenhurst. The Ocean and Allenhurst pd are more then happy to
welcome anyone leaving AP.
Once springwood ave is cleaned up - that's short way out to 35 - as is 4th ave.
Even AP ave is getting somewhat cleaner looking. Still needs a good scrubbing.
AP is one of only a few towns in NJ that are continuing to develop - with a way
to go.
