We hear our politicians claim that they are allowing developments, like the 920 units that have just been given preliminary approval, because of the affordable housing obligation mandated by the state.
The state is run by developers, which is why we are not allowed to ask for things like schools be built by developers to offset the impact of the development.
So, the developer run state mandates an affordable housing obligation through a developer run Judge like Jude Wolfson who, soon after ruling on affordable housing, went to work for JSM, the very same developer who are looking to build the 920 units in Monroe Township.

Then the developer run township hides behind the affordable housing obligation and grants approvals for the developments. Meanwhile, elected officials, like our 28 year Mayor Pucci where accepting “consultation fees” from the same developer, through a PAC set up by former Senator Lynch, while he sat on the Monroe Township Planning Board. His hand picked successor, Gerri Tamburro just voted “yes” for preliminary approval for the same JSM last night. Read Soprano State for more info (Link to Pucci Crime against taxpayers).
In Monroe, JSM has magnanimously offered to take on 25% of our affordable housing obligation. In this case, it does not mean that JSM will only build affordable housing, they will build nearly four times as many unaffordable units. See how it works?
They are all one big happy family, so next time someone tells you that the development is due to the affordable housing obligations, throw this in their faces and watch their reactions. There are no defenses against the truth.
