Where is Alanis Morissette when you need her?

Isn't it ironic?
Don't ya think?

From the city's Web site:

Live Where You Work Trenton

The City of Trenton has partnered with the NJ Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) to become the first Live Where You Work community!! What is Live Where You Work Trenton?Live Where You Work Trenton is a special home mortgage incentive program that provides low-interest mortgage loans to homebuyers who work in Trenton and who are looking to purchase a home in Trenton. The goal of the program is to... (1) strengthen our neighborhoods and increase community involvement through homeownership; (2) attract individuals who work in Trenton to also live in our City; and (3) develop positive relationships between Trenton and members of the local business and residential communities.
As a result, homebuyers who both work and want to live in Trenton will be able to take advantage of the Live Where You Work program incentives.


How can they tout this program with a straight face?
Here they're trying to entice people who work in Trenton to live here, while people in their own administration, who are required by law to live here, are allowed to live where they please.


Anybody want to print out several copies of this press release and hand deliver them to Stirling, Rahway or Brielle? Heck, maybe some could even be taken up to Hunterdon County just in case. Let us know if you do--could make for a colorful cover.

I wonder. Would police director Joe Santiago take it as a threat if a copy of this brochure were placed, unstamped, in his Stirling, Morris County home's mailbox?
Maybe, maybe not. But if he did, it would sure make for interesting theater to see the mayor explain how an invitation to live in Trenton could be viewed as the work of malicious terrorists.
