A class divide in Saugerties?

Last week's public meeting about the Partition Street development project in Saugerties is still prompting reactions. Peter Solow of Saugerties has published a public comment on the Saugerties Citizens for Smart Development website in which he suggests that the project's developers aren't really concerned about security and privacy:

...the wealthy who the developers hope to attract are assumed to want to live in a bubble where they never have to deal with any of the hoi polloi (except the servants). They’d drive from HITS to the hotel, eat in the restaurant, and never have to be troubled with even seeing the “riff-raff” that comprises the Saugerties populace.
