low income housing

If a municipality finds it needs or lacks Public Works employees or secretaries because they can’t afford to live in town or nearby, the better solution is to give that employee a housing stipend to offset mortgage or rent costs. That makes a lot more sense than allowing a developer to build hundreds of units of housing to provide a handful of So-called “affordable units.” 

North Arlington Council President Steve Tanelli today called on the North Arlington Republican Council candidates James Herrmann and Jim Bocchino to condemn NJMC Commissioner and former Mayor Leonard R. Kaiser for his “enthusiastic and unequivocal support” backing hundreds of Low Income Housing apartments in North Arlington and neighboring towns.

 “The real question,” Tanelli asked, “is whether Herrmann and Bocchino are going to stand up for North Arlington against the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission proposal seeking to put 5,000 Low Income Housing units on our doorstep.”

 “Are they still the Kaiser ‘Yes Men’ they’ve always been?”

This November, Governor Corzine should have learned an important lesson.  The people of New Jersey are not as “hopelessly liberal” as some would have us think, turning back his radical agenda by voting no on two ballot questions.  In the light of open public debate, the liberal blueprint for our state’s future fails miserably.  

I am as supportive of the great calibrating power of the free market as any believer of individual liberty should be - and most Democrat politicians and a majority of Republicans, are not.

The centerpiece of the Corzine “Housing Agenda” is 100,000 taxpayer funded, government mandated Low Income...oops, excuse me for being politically incorrect, I meant to say “Affordable Housing Units.”
