My Platform: Overdevelopment
Overdevelopment
- I have spoken out for the past couple of years against the
overdevelopment that is currently planned for Berkeley Heights.
I do not feel that Berkeley Heights did not get a reasonable
affordable housing settlement. Yes we settled but at a very
significant cost to the current homeowners and businesses in
Berkeley Heights.
I have spoken out against PILOTs but keep seeing them thrown around
by the town. I am not sure if the people voting for
“redevelopment” and “PILOTs” really
understand the ramifications of what they are voting on and may
just be following the recommendations from conflicted township
professionals.
All of this is leading to the complete loss of Berkeley
Height’s small town feel that everyone who moved here enjoys.
What is on its way is massive amounts of traffic, ugly
crowded apartments and condos and an abandoning of local businesses
in favor of granting privileges to larger land owners.
