Dan,

I REALLY thought that you were a  very Intelligent Person!  I really DID ... did's the Key!

But, you've gone once or twice per month for YEARS to Council Meetings, complaining about Everything that the Fishman's and the Council People DO, except about how they're leaving the Minorities OUT of the Redevelopment 100%!

You complain that they're Selling Land too cheap (the City to the Developer).  You complain that they're using the WRONG Redevelopment agreement!  You COMPLAIN that they're building too high .......... On, and on and on!

You're SO smart, aren't you?

Yet, you have NEVER been smart enough to figure out that NO One living here NOW, except maybe @ 2% or less of the People, can BUY the Junk they're Building.

The Firemen can't! The Police can't! 90% of the People in City Hall can't! The Teachers in the Schools CAN't!  95% of the Business Owners CAN't!  99.9% of the Minorities CAN't! NO one YOU know can!

Now, I'll divert for one Paragraph, OK?  An extremely competent and knowledgeable person from Trenton was here for a Meeting EARLY in the Redevelopment Pre-Planning Stage. I forgot his name right now, but I think I have it in my Notes. BUT, I'll tell you what he said, OK?

He said that TWO things would primarily determine IF we carry out a Successful Redevelopment here:

  1.  Asbury MUST Refurbish/ Renovate as MANY old Buildings as we possibly CAN, otherwise the Tax RATES would skyrocket!  That's happening, and it'll get Worse as time progresses (Tax rate out of Control)
  2. Asbury Park also MUST Build as many Units as possible which are affordable to the CURRENT Residents, otherwise the Redevelopment will NOT work! He went on to explain about 5-6 Reasons for that.

Ever hear of a word called "Community Development", DAN? Hazel Sammuel's JOB is to Guide that along, and she's had over 20+ Years to DO something, which the Community is still waiting for!

You do NOT "Develop a Community" by kicking OUT 35-50% of it's Residents, and inviting IN 6,000 Carpetbaggers , most of whom are part Time, and whose secondary interest at BEST is Asbury Park or ANY of it's People! You should KNOW coming from New York!

By the way, DAN, did you ever hear of the 3,000 Nehemia Affordable Housing Units that they built in Brooklyn? Did you DAN? My friend, Joe Morris, with the Industrial Areas Foundation, was responsible for BUILDING those Units, and they are occupied, owned and well taken care of by mostly Minorities, and all by Low Income People!

If you wish to BE as smart as you think you are, and I thought you were, pick up a Book called "Dry Bones Rattling", and READ it!  It's about a successful history of Community Development and Building in over 12 Major US Urban Cities over a 35 year period!  You GET it? I'm NOT just blowin Smoke!

Go to the site at  www.tresser.com/  , and scroll down to, or click here this site URL =""      
East Brooklyn Congregations Builds Nehemiah Homes to read about what they did in Brooklyn. OR, would it upset you too much to maybe find out that you're 100% WRONG on these Issues?

The biggest Cowards in the WORLD are Type A Men who CANNOT admit when they're Wrong, or that they possibly even Could BE wrong, even when they KNOW they Might be!  You're definitely type A .... Big Time, and definitely an Ego-Maniac.  That's why you're no longer learning anything new, or accepting new Ideas that conflict with your limited & outdated knowledge!

There's also Homes for NJ, out of Trenton ( www.homesfornj.com/ ), which has done extensive Studies on the severe LACK of Affordable Housing in NJ.  The Governor has already (Before he was elected) signed on 100% to the findings, and Goals, of this group!  The Goal is to build or rehabilitate 100,000 Newly available Affordable Housing Units in ten years. And that's 10% of what's really needed, but they're keeping it realistic & 100% within the Realm of Possibility to do (This one Project).

Read up Dan, you're
WAY out of touch with reality, Especially for a "Redevelopment Expert  " ???

50% of New Jersey People CANNOT afford their Monthly Bills right NOW, which is a CRISIS! And we're making it WORSE, by not Building responsibly here in Asbury Park, and by building Homes for People who don't even NEED them!  With the 100% FALSE perception that Asbury Park will be "A Better Place" with 3,100 Luxury Condos ONLY being built ....... BULL S_it!

You are WAY out of Touch! You cannot even COMPREHEND the Main Point!

It's ONLY Racial because of what the Fishman's are DOING, and that Asbury Park is 78% Minority, almost All being Low Income!  If it were happening in Howell, it would STILL be Gentrification, but it would be less Racial, if at all, but STILL People. But they're doing it almost SOLEY in Minority Cities &  Neighborhoods NATIONWIDE!  That's why it IS Racial!

By the way, I wonder if Skip's Family WORKS for Fishman? 2-3 Bernstein's are listed on Asbury Partner's payroll!  That could be why he's lying about my stuff!  He may be being Paid to do so!

Dan, get Up to speed before YOU Rant and Rave with Outdated and False Information, OK?

Thanks,

Steve
