I was looking at the Delta "Sky" magazine on a flight Friday and saw that Beacon was one of 10 featured locations in an article about places "on the water" (I think that's how it was framed) for New York city visitors to consider. City Island, West Point, and Rhinebeck? were included with the ten (Cold Spring wasn't). I'm not sure if it was the April or May issue. Beacon seems to be popular in these "list" kind of articles.

"But I'm just not going to mention or think of Beacon on same scale as Vienna."
I don't know; we could play Igor to Vienna's Dr. Frankenstein. We already have a mountain at our backs.
I don't see a down side to the "re-vitalization" of Beacon. Unless some corrupt politics comes into play (as you mentioned), it would seem only improvement over time will occur. I would love to see the current low-income public housing turned into low-income, owner-occupied, public housing. I believe this has been done in other places, where the tenants get a low mortgage and get the benefits out of home ownership. With caveats, such as forfeiture if criminal activity takes place, it improves the overall environment for everyone living there, and the larger community.
The most amazing to me was... St. Barths, Baja, Biarritz, Vienna... Beacon NY?
