  • The Crossroads Development in Mahwah

    1453 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Crossroads development has dominated the local conversation in Mahwah for the past 9 months. Over the past few years, the Crossroads Developers had put forth various proposals for development of the site, only to have them rejected by the Mahwah Township Council. This past March, the Developer once again came to the Council in order to ask that their property be rezoned from office use to mixed-use/retail to allow for the construction of a complex of retail stores, restaurants, a movie theater, hotel and office space. Over 400 residents attended the March 31 meeting to express their opposition to the development. This unprecedented turnout by Mahwah residents, unlike any the Council had seen before, should have been enough for the Council to realize that a decision to rezone the property may not be in the best interests of Mahwah residents. Instead, the Council voted 4-2 to allow for the property to be rezoned.

    Bricklayer’s Boy is a story about a father and son and their working lives. The Narrator, or son, grew up in a blue-collared household, with a father that was a bricklayer. By his early 20’s, his father already had a wife, a career, two sons and a house. His father was the son of an immigrant, and believed in working hard so that his sons could get white-collared jobs and have an easier life. The narrator had other ideas though, and decided to become a newspaper reporter. His father didn’t understand this decision because he expected him to make as much money as possible. When the narrator was offered his first job at a daily paper in Columbus, Ohio, his father said, “Why can’t you get a good job that pays something, like in advertising in the city, and write on the side?” “Advertising is lying,” the narrator replied, “ I wanna tell the truth.” His dad continued to push advertising in the weeks before he moved, until one night he came home with tape and bubble wrap and helped him pack to move.

  • PLANNING AS A PROFESSION/ETHICAL ISSUES

    989 Words  | 2 Pages

    Baltimore offers a very general issue that many planners face today when it comes to community participation and taking decisions and the quality to the outcomes of these meetings. Although the planners could have gone the distance in understanding the community identity and diversity often times it becomes harder for planners in their roles to wear the hats of sociologists and go about affecting the outcomes through educating the community. Understanding the roots of any community is very important in taking decisions for its future course. The way the planners acted here is more a natural course of action that most of the planners go by today. Baum asks for the planners to be enforcers to be ethical in this case pushing the agenda of common good that is probably ignored by the homeowners that participate for their own self interests. He also says the issue crops when planners do not do more to create the climate for everybody to feel emotionally on the same page for them to feel more comfortable in seeing not just their own interests but others, thereby allowing them to see the diversity in the community without feeling shame or depression.
