[AsburyPark] Re: Henry Vaccaro Sr on FB April 9 -

The taxpayers and residents of this City are tasting debt that has increased 
from $6M, when the current political party took over, to $60M. I think most 
rational people would find that 'pudding' hard to swallow

 I like Henry but he's wrong and bitter. Back the City n this and dump MM. It 
 soon became Fishmanlike after a while. iStar will take over eventually. There 
 is no love lost betwixt them. I like iStar, and if I could vote, it would be 
 for Forward Asbury. The proof of the pudding is in the tasting. The City has 
 improved and weathered a terrible recession.

  Henry Vaccaro Sr.9:55am Apr 9
  I have nothing but utter contempt for the comments made by the city over 
  their demands to take over 3 private parking lots on the beachfront . Their 
  real agenda is to create more bureaucracy and set up a Parking Authority .I 
  would not let them run a doghouse .Look at the screw ups with the parking 
  meters The first meters turned out to be the wrong type we still owe 
  several hundred thousand on them .The meters have ruined the downtown 
  businesses .Look at the money wasted in the Hurricane cleanup .The city for 
  over 3 months rented a front end loader for $1800 a day while the city 
  loader sat in the city yard. They even paid for Phantom Machines and 
  employees for the cleanup. Now look at the temporary boardwalk in front of 
  Convention Hall which all must be removed in the fall and reinstalled the 
  right way .We pay twice for a Quick Fix ' Belmar had worse problems yet is 
  doing it right .Now for Convention Hall It was never maintained by the city 
  it didn't get that way over night .Madison Marquette did not cause the 
  problems Why didn't the city install sprinklers while they owned it. I have 
  a pretty good memory when the roof over the hall and Paramount leaked the 
  city's solution paint the ceiling and lay plastic on top of the ceiling to 
  catch the water as it came in. Another Quick Fix don't address the 
  problem just kick it down stream. As far as sprinklers they are demanding 
  sprinklers in a unused sub basement under the concrete seating on the first 
  level of the Paramount. The floor is concrete the ceiling is concrete and 
  the walls are concrete. Simple solution put a fire watch each time a show 
  is scheduled after all we have a Paid Fire Department Now Madison 
  Marquette ,the city should kiss their ass they invested over 70 million of 
  private money to rehab all the buildings when nobody and I mean nobody 
  would touch Asbury Park. Where would the city be right now without all the 
  millions generated in revenue from beach fees and parking if not for 
  Madison Marquette It's the same old story with this city What have you 
  done for me lately

 Hopefully my comment didn't sound as if I intended to
It did come across

It did they way I read it - which sent me off...

thanks


Now as for the McMansions 5 bedrooms plus etc - 

They typically are OVERTAXED relative to the schools and in general... they 
typically do not use those services - like schools (private) etc.

Some buy it because they can and have no real use for all those rooms. Unless 
they fill it with shoes and clothes and use a room or more for their cats and 
dogs... plenty of empty-nesters 

So says brother-in-law . 

The reason for places like Wesley and Senior housing - is to generate tax 
revenues and to support the schools with those taxes. 

there's plenty of studies on both sides.

Here at least the program in some way helped get the development going - but 
what if someone said nope ?
