Roberts – Geibel – Mantoloking

9/18/2008 Update:
It seems like MetroStop developer Dean Geibel and Mayor Roberts might not be Mantoloking neighbors anymore!
Looks like Geibel sold his shore property for a cool $3.75 million – cash! What is this, a real estate transaction or a casino jackpot?
See original story after the jump…

I’d like to be a “fly on the bun” at these summer BBQ’s!
Roberts and Hoboken developer are neighbors
“While many of you head down to the shore this weekend to spend three days in some dumpy rental, Dave Roberts has his Mantoloking property on the water to head down to.
What’s interesting is that his neighbors just up the road are Dean and Tara Geibel. That’s Dean Geibel of Hoboken’s Metro Homes and MetroStop (800 Jackson), who contributed almost $30K to Roberts in 2005.
His (Geibel’s) place is for sale if you’ve got $4 million bucks lying around!”

Re 18. LOL. Hardy Boys for estevens, maybe…. Nancy Drew rules!
Do we know that estevens is a male? S/he hasn’t weighed in. Does it matter?
Otherwise, we can celebrate Nancy & Hardy & keep estevens in gender-netherworld on 411! To keep his/her important missives posting the important info. s/he shares.

$800,000 is a lot of money now – but it was a ton of money back in 1998. Did he pay cash for this house?

Geibel’s boat is named “Hoboken Hero.” I wish I was making this up, but that really is what he named his boat.
And James Fitzsimmons does not live in subsidized housing, but Captain Anthony “Stick” Romano, owner of Louise & Jerry’s and two buildings on Washington Street, does (Marineview Towers). Captain Romano is likely to be our next Freeholder.

Sigh. H411, your comments filter really sucks. Why are we barred from posting links to any other Hoboken-related websites?
What I just tried to post, changed to hopefully slip past the filter:
—————————
Waaaaait… the developer of Metrostop has a boat named “Hoboken Hero”? And then there’s this blog that heaps praise on all the new development in the NW part of town, yet insists they’re not a shill for developers?
Hmmm…

What is wrong with the system where we, the taxpayers, are paying to help much-better-off upper middle class families (Romano, Russo, etc.) live in life-long, subsidized housing? Isn’t there an upper income limit that kicks you out and into the market-rate housing like the rest of us common folk? Is the only way to get elected in Hoboken via your built-in base of voters living in your subsidized complex? I guess the system is working for them.

Uhh……No. That is why I won’t EVER vote for one of these self-interested tools. All they care about is gaming the system for their own benefit.

I doubt there is any direct connection to Geibel on that HH blog. While the person clearly enjoys the redevelopment of his or her neighborhood, they also have a hearty disdain for the Mayor and appreciation for those trying to make things better in city government. That would disqualify HH as a Geibel shill.
