Instead of striving for some real action on the subject of derelict houses, the OG Home Groaners Association has scheduled another house tour. The first one attracted thirty people. The promo for that event says that you should go “for a bit of history.” No history lesson will solve this problem.
The OGHA is potentially the most powerful group in town, but instead of strength and results, they are weak and ineffective on this issue. Neptune Township needs new laws to help them penetrate the outrageous stalemate regarding those monstrous fire hazards called “derelict houses.” In fact, there are towns all over the country faced with similar problems. How about some research into what they are doing?
Home Groaners: Why don’t you stop the mumbling and the walking tours, hire some buses, get a few hundred people together, and picket our elected representatives and the governor in Trenton to do something to give us better tools to solve this dilemma.
