From a Lakewood Askan
ReplyDeleteThose who have proper sense can see the daily danger to our lives and to the children's lives of our children. The Lakewood Township will put one traffic light in an intersection after many accidents, injuries and possibly deaths. At this pace the streets will be safe in 200 years. Phone calls to the committeemen fall on deaf ears as the danger to our lives keeps on escalating due to the corporate zoning laws and money hungry builders. Much can be done, even without traffic lights. This askan stood for half a year on the committeemen's heads to put four way stop signs in the the intersection of Squankum and Princeton. It took a half year of work and phone calls and then signs were put up to thank the committeemen for their hard work! Now they do not even want to hear my voice! For years I begged for other four way stop signs, but they don't even return a phone call. All of this could have been solved if just 40% of Lakewood residents would vote. Voting can be arranged once and for all to be done by mail-in ballot. It takes about two and a half minutes to arrange it. Call (732) 929-2167.
How many deaths and injuries have occured in Lakewood due to people not voting? Who knows who will be the next korban. Yidishe neshamos seem to have very little value here. I beg you to start caring about your life and the lives of your children and relatives!

Or people can start driving more carefully. Drivers in Lakewood are overly aggressive, for no reason. Good mosdos apply to driving as well. And davening in a siddur while driving is not even a mitzvah habbah baveira, it's a straight aveira.
DeleteActually, alot of people don't want to be aggressive but there are so many intersections in this town with bad or no planning and so people are forced to be aggressive just to get to their destination.
Deletein addition, once they are delayed by the insane traffic they are now running late and are forced to try to make up that time.
Please lets not blame everything on the innocent people who just want to live their lives and are victims of the money hungry, power grabbing individuals who have ruined this town.
of course you are correct that there are plenty of entitled people who couldn't care less about anyone else when they are behind the wheel and making their earth shattering, ego boosting, important phone calls.
Kiddush allowed in brisk dining room! Lol major news!! Who cares?
ReplyDeleteSilly, its not about the "kiddush", its about being meshaneh fun vos der tatte hut gehtun
