It was the norm for people to greet one another when passing on the street with a smile and a cheerful hello. Neighbor helping neighbor, taking pride in ownership of property, etc. That is no longer the case and Hudson is not the friendly city that it was once called. I’ve made the mistake many times of greeting people on Warren that I know now live in Hudson. The blank look, cold stare now is the norm.<br />Twice so with women. On a different matter. May I suggest that the HPC request picture(s) of all properties for archives and future references prior to renovation. And as the saying goes “money talks and bullshit walks” , a friendly city saying from days ago. And thanks for having common sense that is so missing in Hudson today.tmdonofriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370760970951114120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-74457336482476954592020-12-29T10:47:39.690-05:002020-12-29T10:47:39.690-05:00Is the intent to make these units condos?

If not, I question the profitability of their business plan. <br /><br />As to the affordable housing issue, there is no way to renovate units to used as affordable housing in a way that will stand the test of time (our climate is a harsh mistress), that makes any sense at all from a financial standpoint, unless of course, one way or the other, you are using other people's money, in particular, directly or indirectly, the money of one or more governmental entities. Heck, these days I question the profitability of doing renovations for non affordable housing. Folks do it of course, but I suspect more out of love than profit. But yes, the sales and marketing hype was tone deaf. <br /><br />Finally, whomever characterized Hudson as the "friendly city," needs their head examined. Many residents are friendly of course, including most of my neighbors, but the civic tone around here cannot be characterized as other than caustic and counterproductive in my view.
