I grew up close to where Acer is, and currently live a few exits up the thruway - definitely a horrible no-win situation for him. This is a serious issue for Rockland, Orange, and Sullivan counties. The problem is this group votes as one block - no dissent. They've gotten districts realigned, and control every local politician, because to cross them is to lose office. While we fight about bathrooms and gun control and generally split 50/50, they vote as one for their own interests - smart, really.
The real downside is their communities. Disgusting isn't a strong enough word for it, and they are packed to the gills. They are also intolerant of outsiders living there. Acer will have to move, period.
