 Neil Barofsky has written a riveting book on the 2008-09 government financial bailout which he oversaw as the Special Inspector General for TARP -- the Troubled Asset Relief Program (see, if you name it something like that, with the word “Relief” in it, everyone gets on board because it sounds like you’re making something broken whole again).  As he attempted to take down the Princes of Wall Street, he appeared to underestimate their power. And the $700 billion bailout did little to repair the damage that had been done by the banks and Wall Street. An Inside Account of How Washington Abandoned Main Street While Rescuing Wall Street is a must read.  Just don’t be surprised that certain government officials who promised to make things better were in bed with the bad guys.    So, what has... 10/08/2014

For much of my 25-yr career, I've worked in the Luxury Market --- towns like Franklin Lakes, Wyckoff, Saddle River, Upper Saddle River, Ridgewood, Ho-Ho-Kus and Allendale. We used to refer to 3,000 square foot, $950,000 homes luxury homes.  Then came the roaring 1990s, and we started seeing homes built the size of the local municipal building. Five thousand square foot homes became the norm, but in time we saw homes over 8,000 square feet going up, and that's when I began to worry.  It's one thing to build an 8,000 sf home on a 2 acre lot (Saddle River, for the most part), but squeezing it onto a little over an acre seemed a bad idea.  I remember taking a buyer to look at homes in Wyckoff where most properties are a half-acre or a little more.  He really wanted a luxury home, in Wyckoff... 06/26/2014

I moved to Franklin Lakes from Asbury Park, in the early 70s, and was instantly hit with cultural shock --- single family homes the size of an apartment building, no public transportation, and women wearing tennis skirts to go shopping. But, it was beautiful, and I soon got over my reverse snobism, and enjoyed such new experiences as The Market Basket (if you don't like to cook dinner, Tony does it for you), the Shadow Lake Club (swim & tennis club), and starting a Democratic Club (little did I know I was only one of a few Dems in town. My kids went to Ramapo High School, in  the mid-to-late 80s. Unknown to me at the time was something called "The Wall."  It was a gathering place where kids could buy/deal pot.  Now, although I didn't try pot until I was in my 20s (ugh), I was well aware... 06/01/2014
