Ron Berlin’s letter strikes the right balance by foreseeing the eventuality of the destruction of what makes Princeton special and by citing the predicted failure of a Council’s response to developer intimidation in approving a misguided ADU ordinance.

Exactly, Mr. Schreiber!
This is the codification of the township retaining its character on the backs of the Borough after years of it distributing their COAH requirements off to other municipalities.

Much more work is needed on every section of the master plan that respects the physical history of our neighborhoods, supports the varied economies of the community, and ensures affordability for a diverse population throughout the Town of Princeton.

Older buildings are oftentimes built to lower standards, much less energy efficient and not ADA accessible to our older residents who want to age in the community but cannot in their current home. New developments can absolutely be required to plant new trees, construct wider sidewalks, and provide landscaping. Princeton can also moderate the design of new buildings so they fit the style the community wants.
