Yet, there is land that was deemed protected that has ridiculous amounts of growth. New construction condos start at $500k where I live, so you can imagine what townhomes and single family homes go for. Is $500k for a 2 BR affordable housing? I hardly think so.<BR/><BR/>I sold my house 3 years ago because one side of it was deemed protected pinelands. I came home from work and found the trees gone one day. New homes going up. There were lawsuits the works from taht point on.<BR/><BR/>Again, keep me posted.Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235574856654438920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11258572.post-1129066224695687382005-10-11T14:30:00.000-07:002005-10-11T14:30:00.000-07:00!!!Even as recently as a couple years ago, wasn't ...!!!<BR/><BR/>Even as recently as a couple years ago, wasn't NJ full of protected space? You mean to tell me that developers are building homes that people have a hard time affording, on top of the last green spaces?<BR/><BR/>Ugh, that is so disheartening.Robert van de Wallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328795346288976510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11258572.post-1129065859194562442005-10-11T14:24:00.000-07:002005-10-11T14:24:00.000-07:00The farms and pinelands of NJ that were once restr...The farms and pinelands of NJ that were once restricted from develpoment are now wide open for building. Major parts of the environment and landscape (natural resources now gone along with homes to many animals) and homes that so many cannot afford.<BR/><BR/>Please keep me up to date. Keep fighting the good fight, as well.Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235574856654438920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11258572.post-1128967816607465882005-10-10T11:10:00.000-07:002005-10-10T11:10:00.000-07:00Thank you!Yes, not only is it unfortunate for thos...Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Yes, not only is it unfortunate for those less fortunate, but it's tough on the environment, too. Out there in NJ, you folks have built just about everywhere you're allowed to.<BR/><BR/>So, where do people who get jobs at a tire company, or at 7-11, find shelter?<BR/><BR/>I think I'm very close to a market-driven solution, and I will certainly keep evveryone posted.Robert van de Wallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328795346288976510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11258572.post-1128959811872417442005-10-10T08:56:00.000-07:002005-10-10T08:56:00.000-07:00I work in real estate and find that there are mort...I work in real estate and find that there are mortgage programs out there for all needs, but I think people get robbed and raped just to get a mortgage, and it is usually those in need the most. Here in NJ/PA there is no such thing as affordable housing anymore. It is unfortunate for those less fortunate.<BR/><BR/>Please keep me up to date on your efforts. I find it very interesting.Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235574856654438920noreply@blogger.com
