I live in East Hanover and the company Mondelez was supposed to give up some of their excess land so they can build condo developments. I am not sure if it is going to happen or not, but my mom said they were actually going to start building it. We need the open land and the space and now it is getting overdeveloped. Condo developments ruin everything. They create more traffic lights and issues. The Nike development has obviously been there for my whole life, but even that ruins stuff. There is a traffic light there that falsely triggers and also, you cannot turn right on red coming out of Nike, so the cars coming out of Nike have to sit there and trigger the River Road traffic light just so that one car can come out causing another River Road jam.
Honeywell in Florham Park gave up their land and now a condo development is finished being built there. At least that development is not causing issues.
Now watch, in the next something years, I bet Livingston is going to want to kill out those patches of woods that run near JFK Blvd and any woods near the mall!
I thought NJ is finished growing its population. It seems like NJ is finding its way to destroy every piece of empty land throughout my lifetime and mostly throughout the lifetime of anyone older than me. In my particular lifetime, every time I've seen NJ build a new strip mall, it is always useless and vacant (Hopefully that means sprawling is stabilizing). These large companies that were previously in such places are the ones keeping my parents' taxes low!
Are you sure they're condos? Builders are suing to build apartments all over NJ and they're winning the lawsuits based on AH mandates. Except they put a miniscule amount of affordable apartments and no one seem to care about the environmental issues or the strains on town resources because of this densely populated housing.

Actually they are condos or townhouses, but not apartments.
If you want to live in a rural area, NJ is not your place
They prefer condos because they make a lot more money
Also easier to get condos approved because they will designate some of them as affordable and the towns like that
If somebody wants to live a true suburb, then NJ may not be the place in the future, because NJ will continue to rip every empty lot of land or every patch of woods in sight. The only NJ towns where somebody could get a true suburban feeling in the future is any NJ town that is close NJ's boony areas such as Boonton or Montville, because NJ preserves those boony areas. NJ probably won't develop its boony areas anyway, since most of North Jersey's civilization is clustered against Route 10, I-80/I-280, and Route 46.
I don't get this. Isn't NJ the state with highest (outgoing minus incoming) residents ? Then why do we need more houses?
