To be honest, I don't even know where 3000 condos would go, how many are in
Wesley Grove?
I don't mind my commute into JC, and a lot of people I work with live in
Interlaken, Bradley etc
The schools are a major issue for me though, once my fiance and I get to that
point in our lives, ill be a weekender very quickly, I refuse to pay for
private schools, and there's not a shot in hell my kids would go to our school
system in its current
conditions
I know quite a few families who have passed on AP strictly because of the
schools (they were ok with the crime) but the schools were a deal sealer

I will say it again, it will be very very hard for AP to attract 3,000 year
round households. NJ is loosing jobs like crazy. You need to be within easy
commuting distance to an employment center, or create a place where people will
want to live despite the commute or they are retired or independently wealthy.
And for families, its a chicken and egg thing. To get families you need good
schools. And the latter will only happen is when you get more of a mix of
families in AP to be involved with the school and their children's education.
So if you build a lot of condos, you will depend upon weekenders not
necessarily summer people. I am a weekender. A lot of us that own houses here
are. We don;t work nearby and so we can't live here full time.
