It&#8217;s that apartment complex that has gone seriously to seed over the past many months.<\/p>\n<p>The city has declared that it suffers from several code violations. It&#8217;s unsafe. It is in fact rotting before our eyes.<\/p>\n<p>A contractor started work on the massive luxury apartment complex. Then he got into a beef with the developer and walked away.<\/p>\n<p>The city council, acting as a housing standards authority, must decide what to do about. For me, the session occurs at 5 p.m. Monday and I am going to be there as a Princeton resident\/blogger.<\/p>\n<p>The Princeton Herald will assign a reporter to cover it. Me? I get to watch it unfold in real time.<\/p>\n<p>The city, I suppose, could decide Monday on the fate of the project. It could take it all under advisement and reconvene later for a decision. The decision might be to knock it down. Or &#8230; they could decide the site is worth rehabilitating.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve stated already I believe the project needs to vanish. It&#8217;s not my call. It belongs to the city. I&#8217;m just an interested observer with a lot to say on what the city council decides.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every so often, events align in such a way that enable to get a first-hand look at what a governing authority intends to do about an issue I am discussing on this blog.
