Well, that's just fine and dandy

A bidding war erupted when 28 Dandy Drive hit the market last week at $1.595 million, and it’s now pending; count on it being sold to a builder.

Ironically, the owner, a member of the RTM’s Land Use Committee, has previously criticized the town’s policy of not employing long-term bonding for capital improvements, arguing that “Over decades, Greenwich has deferred maintenance to keep taxes low, but homeowners are paying the price with lower home values.” It would seem that he has nothing to complain about, unless he believes that he could have gotten even more than he’s about to.

(One might also wonder at the irony that a member of the Democrat Town Committee, a group that supports “social and economic justice” and advocates the promotion of low and moderate income housing, would complain about a financial practice that, he claimed, kept property values low, but let’s just let that go, and wave him a fond farewell).
