RCAs force M’town to provide housing The Courier,July 17 Posted:07/22/08 To the Editor:
With the ending of RCAs, now the Township of Middletown must do what it avoided for some 27 years.
That is now providing housing for not so much the elite as in the past but maybe now the blue collar worker who makes $50,000 a year or less. They also must provide for the retiree who is taxed highly in order to drive out of town and the young who are discouraged from living here unless they are upper crust.
The RCAs kept Middletown from having to build real affordable housing and kept so called unacceptable people out of town. If Uncle Sam looked close he just might see a shadowy form of segregation. Is that possible here in Middletown, N.J.?
Hopefully, the ringmaster and all the eloquent elephants will pack their trunks come November and go back with Ringling Brothers.
