    1. If it's free people will be there- that's Lakewood mentality

  4. The losers are .....
    Also we all feel sorry for the traffic "losers" who will NOT encounter as much traffic as in Lakewood proper, thus being very very unfair.

    1. Losers are Lakewood taxpayers who continue supplying tax free school properties for the Jackson residents...

  5. Let us be honest, those schools would not have been restricted just to Jackson children, Lakewood children would have been bussed there as well.

    1. Certainly some children would be from Lakewood, but for the most part it would be for Jackson residents.
      If anyone in Lakewood Twp had a drop of seichel and foresight they would have bid on the property themselves and then resold it to the developer. Even if they take a loss it would remove major source of traffic at peak traffic time.
      But at the end of the day no one really cares

  6. Who can blame Jackson if they're trying to preserve as much of the suburban/rural nature of the town as they can? They're smarter than our govt. who let developers run free to do whatever they wanted to do in Lakewood. I don't blame developers. They have businesses and they want the business to make money. I blame our representatives, who don't represent us, for always giving into every whim and variance request made by the developers. The town of Jackson is keeping its eye on the ball and doing what's best for the people of Jackson.
