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

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

I don't think you could assume that 2nd Homes would mean a major decline in winter business. I originally bought my condo for summer use, but find I use it year round and found I love the winter at the beach. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, cbrianwatk...@... wrote: Another thing that

I'm not assuming a major decline, I'm assuming no growth. Its no secret the business' suffer in the winter months, if they didn't they would be open 7days a week instead of 4days Just because you and I love the beach in the winter, doesn't mean everyone else will I've watched this happen

Interesting, thanks for posting. Did anyone go inside during 2006 when it was open? Seems like if extensive renovations were done in 2005-2006, that, in four years, it wouldn't have fallen apart... Cathryn. From the article: During the two decades under then-owners Walter Burns and Maurice

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

I live here year round and I have a child who is a toddler. I work in NYC 3 days a week, and at home 2 days. Commuting into the city is horrible and the schools are a huge deterrent. So is the crime -- once you have kids, things change in that regard as well. I would like to move, to be honest,

As a relatively new resident to AP (one of those who bought into Wesley Grove in 2009), I'm not sure how much new residential construction the town can support right now. I think the biggest challenge and most important thing that needs to be done is to make our retail and commercial sectors

The quality of life issues you mentioned will never change until they knock down the projects and replace it with new affordable housing, just like Newark did in 2008, it reduced crime in that area, homelessness, unemployment and the kids actually attended and did well in school. So many cities

For those of us who have kids, but would never send their kids to AP schools, I think it is wrong to assume that is based on any kind of white fear. I would not send my daughter to the AP schools bc they stink. Plain and simple. (The Hope Academy is not ranked very well either.) If I stay here,
