What do people mean when they talk about coping? The word is not easy to define and can refer to a multiplicity of experiences. How much of what we do to cope with challenges in the aging process is purposeful and active and how much is automatic and below the radar? What are the unique characteristics of your own coping style and how can you better harness them? Join Dr. Alan Dienstag for a discussion of these and other aspect of coping.

Well there is definitely more community disapproval with the current plans then there is support.
A…Read More possible suggestion for the developer may be to cut the plans from 120 units to 60 units with no more then 120 parking spaces . The community is worried about the proposed plan with the idea of adding 240 to 250 additional cars a day causing congestion with respect to traffic.The developer can set aside funds to pay for a daily rush hour bus to bring his new tenants to the trains to cut down on an increase in traffic. The developer to gain public approval should give up on any non access to private roads or it maybe in the interest of the community to make some of their roads which are currently public into private roads whereby no one heading to the golf course or the condominiums could cross these private roads thereby making access to the condominiums quite difficult.
As far as a gain in the tax base. with any development where there are no tax abatements, it may appear that tax revenues may increase , however it may turn out to be a zero sum game, where the additional revenue pays for new public sector costs that will come with this project from garbage, water service, police , education, and any and all other public sector costs.
With development it is better for the developer to become part of the community . Orienta has great characteristics. Many in this community would like the developer to search for the mean between the extremes with respect to development.

David ,
can you please explain how having a luxury condominium building increases the tax base?
