I guess the immediate impact between you and your kids is positive. Don't you look beyond that? That's all you consider? I hope you're kidding - right? You should probably read www.state.nj.us/dca/lgs/authreg/statutes/40a_12a_1.pdf 40A:12A-2. Findings, determinations, declarations 2. The Legislature hereby finds, determines and declares: a. There exist, have existed and persist in various communities of this State conditions of deterioration in housing, commercial and industrial installations, public services and facilities and other physical components and supports of community life, and improper, or lack of proper, development which result from forces which are amenable to correction and amelioration by concerted effort of responsible public bodies, and without this public effort are not likely to be corrected or ameliorated by private effort. b. From time to time the Legislature has, by various enactments, empowered and assisted local governments in their efforts to arrest and reverse these conditions and to promote the advancement of community interests through programs of redevelopment, rehabilitation and incentives to the expansion and improvement of commercial, industrial, residential and civic facilities. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
