It's pretty easy to say it looks OK when you're not one of the people that has to live with the results if it doesn't come out well. It's a long way from DV's house so why should he care?

MFRH without future concept.....sad

That is what the current administration is known for and will be remembered for.  What a legacy!!! They will be voted out (at least 3 of them) in Nov 2011 and the other two in Nov 2013 but their legacy will live on forever as these new apartment complexes negatively impact their surrounding neighborhoods.

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

They have a right to their opinion and I have a right to my opinion.   We need projects like this to expand our tax base and lower property taxes for everyone in the town.

          Get the years of "lost" ALS money, and the Town Clerk's salary back, the unnecessary REMS vote expense, and then come talk to us about tax base.  You people have thrown away more money than you could ever dream of in the tax base.  The Town lost the Golub offices to downtown, and replaced that lost tax base with a relocated road and an accoustical wall that's backwards!

LOL

Not at the expense of residential property owners.  This will decrease their property values, especially as the apartment buildings age and deteriorate.  People are becoming leary of buying homes in Rotterdam - BUYER BEWARE!

Quoted from 1216

Take a look at Esquire Village - that's what an apartment project looks like 25 years later!  A real plus for Rotterdam!

Will the code enforcement officer see that these apartment buildings are providing the appropriate fencing and buffers, setbacks, yard requirements. .. Look at Floral Ave/Esquire Village - it's a nightmare!

Really ..... are you kidding me?  You do realize this would hurt the tax base?  Eventually it would lower the property values and decrease the tax base.  Rotterdam should consider a better project that would in fact increase the tax base.

THIS is the number two democrap leader in Rotterdam and he is only projecting what his masters higher up in the local democrap party are thinking as they look out for the connected developer friends. The more things change the more they stay the same. He doesn't give a damn about your property value, he cares about making the democrap party stronger and richer with developer cash.

Funny how these homeowners are not concerned about the potential risk from high tension wires in their backyard, a stray bullet from the gun club, constant noise and lights from the high school, not to mention the b-u-l-l-s-h-i-t flowing downhill from the Mertz household.  That in itself is lowering property values...that is living in the same neighborhood as John Mertz!

         I think the homeowners are more worried about the inconsistent assessments of the Rotterdam tax base and the underassessed value which appears to be intentional.  They are also concerned that Rotterdam is the next satellite municipality for the City's Section 8!  Remember, "It's a nice place to live!"  

That's bullcrap AVON.  Your stupid assertions on this blog lead me to believe your only interest in Rotterdam is watching your bi-monthly performance on channel 16 with reruns in your head.  Put that energy into positve ideas not always NIMBY!!!!

          Never knew I was on TV . . .   What's your positive contribution, I mean besides more Democrap B.S., and double dipping the taxpayers to push up your retirement!  

Apartments are known to reduce the value of homes around them. The town of rotterdams is appearing more and more like the city of schenectady. Esquire village and lent court are now partially section 8. The RPD told the seniors at the senior center to avoid walmart at night because of the crime. Many rotterdamians will not even go to price chopper on altamont ave or rotterdam square mall after dark.

People who own homes are more prideful and responsible of not only their property, but their surroundings. Long Pond is for sale and has never reached full occupancy.

Rotterdam is know for their 'shoe horn', 'spot zoning'. That's why it's a sh!thole.

Have ya all had enough of the democrats yet rotterdamians???

The ENTIRE town has to live with the results of high property taxes if we continue to say no to reasonable development projects.

And I do care about whether the result turn out well or not -- so.. again .. you are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine on the subject.
