Star-Ledger still drinking Kool-Aid about New Brunswick development

For a New Brunswick resident living in the Unity Square district, it's hard to believe a story like this can get written in 2010:

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/08/redeveloped_new_brunswick_is_i.html

Note: Chris Paladino: "Solving the social ills of New Brunswick was never our mission."  That's obvious. But let's not call what was done instead "development." It was prettying-up.

This is the blueprint for development. http://hub4sacredheart.org/unitysq_mission.aspx
