Letter: Howard Hughes project will have social impact, too

Your the article in the Feb. 28 issue of the WWP News about the proposed Howard Hughes development seems to only address the effectiveness that this development would have from an economic standpoint.

But what about the impact that is has on the current residents of the West Windsor-Plainsboro area?

The school district is already packed with students. As a former student, I can attest to the fact that it can be quite overbearing. The two high schools that we have in WW-P already seem to be overcrowded, especially with the fact that most students at South sit on the floor during lunch.

This raises the question as to where these students would attend school and how the residents are going to adjust to this change.

Although this possible development would help from an economic point of view, it seems to pose a potential social problem to the people currently living in the area.
