--snip-- the state Supreme Court said trial courts would be responsible for ensuring that towns meet their constitutional responsibilities to provide housing opportunities. That mandate was established by earlier Supreme Court rulings, in what are known as the high court’s Mt. Laurel decisions.
The latest ruling was hailed by housing advocates — and homebuilders, who stand to make a financial windfall in the coming years.

What?
That is the NJ State constitution but outrageous just the same.
If you dont see that CLEARLY in the constitution then I can’t help you.
It’s right below the gay marriage amendment.
Princeton - the dullest college town in my existence (I go there for my Amish goodies) - needs to pony up and get those poor blacks into their lily-white communities. After all, they preach it from their pulpits every day, every week, every hour, don’t they?
My only hope is that they don’t destroy the beautiful town itself - its gorgeous legacy of colonial and Victorian housing is to die for.
Princeton makes New Brunswick (Rutgers) look like Fun City.
Enough to house 100,000 more muslim “immigrants” this year, and every year thereafter...
What?
You evidently forgot to put on your “magic glasses” before you read the Constituiton. /s
Move all those Jihadi refugees there. Let the university professors deal with them - and the Uberrich liberal students there.
Oh, how I would love to see the town seize a piece of land in the middle of campus via eminent domain, and turn it into low-income housing.
But the [useless Democrat hack] mayor is the wife of a Princeton employee.
Whatever it is, they’ll need to add more for the Syrians.
“...constitutional responsibilities to provide housing opportunities.”
Say what? Never saw that in the Constitution, by any leap of logic.
We are truly doomed, I fear.
Forget Princeton... WHAT IS TEWKSBURY TOWNSHIP DOING TO COMPLY? Probably buying affordable housing mandate credits from Hillside.
You know, the written-in-Founders-black-light-only-ink”; which seems to magically negate, at least, the 5th and 13th Amendments outright.
I live in NJ....
You are required to build up to 20% of low income housing based on population...so the towns are afraid to get sued and they agree...builder comes in builds the units.then guess what? population increases...more low income needed..then towns get “BUILT OUT”
Princeton is the exemplar of upscale moonbat living.
There’s no way in hell the locals are gonna let anybody on the dole live in their burg.
It is a really gorgeous town. Stupid law.
The law is whatever unelected judges say it is...
I had the impression the lowest income people in Princeton were grad students, who get subsidized housing from the university, and postdocs at the IAS, who get subsidized housing from the IAS. Or are the feds trying to force Princeton to take in folks from the underclass in Trenton and Newark?
Actually, if an upscale town gives the state/federal money to a poor town, the low income housing can be built there. That’s how it used to be, anyway, and one of the reasons Ocean Grove & Asbury Park fell on such hard times. Other reasons too but that was one.
Personally, I’d love to see them move in residents from Camden into Princeton. I went to see a show there this weekend and the awful pretentious audience was enough to make me wish hell on them.
