(I posted this comment last night and it disappeared. What's up?) NAACP and Fair Share Housing Center are trying to bury the issue. (If the attorneys have conflicts, go after them.) McNeil says, "This state is facing a housing crisis." This assertion has been used to manipulate land use law for 15 years by the FSHC -- but the facts are ignored. I challenge Mike McNeil (NAACP) and Kevin Walsh (FSHC) to produce legitimate data that shows "This state is facing a housing crisis.'' The 20 towns that filed suite against COAH have demonstrated that COAH misused data to prop up false claims of a housing shortage, then intentionally withheld data produced by its own consultant (in violation of OPRA) showing that COAH's "statewide need" numbers are inflated. It's time for Walsh and FSHC to fess up that they in the business of building, and operating housing developments (through Fair Share Housing Development, Inc.) and for NJ legislators to stop being intimidated by political threats from FSHC and NAACP that call towns "racists" and "NIMBY's." The jig is up. The public sees the racket that has stimulated unnecessary property tax costs to prop up a sham system.
