  1. Rav Chaim says Don’t get checked !
    Now all the haters will need to change Leaders ..
    Just keep putting masks on your children,
    And watch them have mental breakdowns.

    2. How about having healthy relationships with your children so that you can have these conversations with them. Your children are stronger than you believe 👍

    3. Reb Chaim said to Yeshivos in EY 'don't get checked', or so the extremely trustworthy internet reports. And from there we decide that we should not wear masks. How does such a conclusion get reached?

  4. Why is there so much crazy traffic on Ridge Avenue lately?

    1. They’re building a huge 60,000+ square foot kaminetz school plus simcha hall on that narrow road without enough parking. How on earth the planning board allowed so many hundreds of students and buses on that tight stretch, defies all logic. And this is besides the entire row of houses totaling 32 families and at least 64 more cars that are being built so the school can make enough money to “afford” constructing this monstrosity.

      It’s crazy, because there’s simply not enough infrastructure to support all that heavy traffic.

      It’s so not right to force this on the neighborhood.

    2. Of course it was allowed - it’s not Westgate... no lawyer needed.

  5. Widening the road would be too basic of a thought process for them to have thought of before approving the building.

    1. That street could have been widened if the school would've given up a few feet along that stretch of road, for that purpose. But instead the school (together with its large housing development) is greedily trying to use every square inch of that land to maximize their profits - at the expense of the entire neighborhood. It's pashut not right!

    2. You seem surprised by this, it has been going on in Lakewood for at least a decade.Every development could have been built slightly less dense, or built with a slightly larger ingress to allow for widening streets, but every time, they were not only allowed to build the maximum, but were given variances and even zoning changes to squeeze every penny out of each plot of land.

      There was never any thought of compromise, balancing the desire of developers and investors with the benefit of the residents or the long term effects on the traffic and quality of life in this town.

      Similar to what went on in the Cedarbridge Development, it was bad enough that the town gave away land worth tens of millions for free, was it really necessary for them to give them tax abatement's on top of that?

  6. They are doing work on county line so traffic is detour to Ridge

  7. 26 new cases in Lakewood yesterday. And most likely many many unreported cases.
    Isn't it time that we start being careful so that we can continue life?

  9. The developers run this town through their agents in local government. They almost always get the variances & zoning changes that they request. If it doesn't happen at a public meeting, it somehow happens behind the scenes. Neighborhood residents may leave a meeting thinking they won, but somehow or another the developers & builders usually win in the end. Time to end the corruption & ruination of our quality of life!!
