Why Cedarbridge? That sounds like a major traffic safety issue waiting to happen, and perhaps other types of safety as well.
ReplyDeleteThe traffic on cedarbridge is already bad. Imagine another 2,000 cars that need to go that way.
Deleteat least yungerleit can survive on a kolel budget .....
DeleteRent control is complete and utter nonsense. Allow the market to develop on its own, and new communities will sprout up to address the shortage.
ReplyDeleteMenashe the abolisher worked very hard to get rid of rent control in Lakewood. He won't allow it.
Deletesimple solution for the rental crisis-which in turn will create deeper shidduch crisis as the cost of support is becoming beyond control if not put in place- is that all the yeshiva owned apartments the rent should be lowered will immediately create a substantial change- ludicrous that a yungerman should struggle with such rent especially when its owned by bmg and for the excuse of holding out the yungerleit
ReplyDeleteIt has long been incredulous that BMG is profiting off of yungeleit. A yeshiva should never own vast real estate holdings to make money off families learning in kollel. They should make it affordable in order to help keep people learning. After all, isn't that their sole mission??
Deletehow much are the rents in yeshiva apts? and about how many are there? in the past ten years has there been any new yeshiva apts
Deletemost apt. buildings in town are owned by bmg if that rent was lowered it would cause a universal effect across the board
Deleterent in yeshiva apartment is way less then anywhere else 880 for 1 bedroom and 1010 for 2 bedrooms
DeleteThe same way its rent control by yeshiva apartments?
ReplyDeleteForget about apt rent prices. There ARE NO apts available now.
ReplyDeleteThere is a shortage and couples that are getting married are having a very hard time finding. I know at least 5 couples looking that are already married
rent in those apartments is way less than anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteIf your looking to escape the Lakewood housing crisis, have you thought about out of town? For more info on an oot community just an Hr away w/ all amenities, jobs, and kollel openings, text 2156883928
ReplyDeleteThere's no apt shortage, just today the Yungerlite are all fine sharkers and need 3 bedroom 2 baths w/d etc etc
ReplyDeleteDuring testimony at a planning board meeting, from Mueller of Cedarbridge Corportaion, they can not put schools or housing in Cedarbridge area.
ReplyDeleteNo one is interested in Apartment buildings
ReplyDeleteThis is not Manhattan or Miami Beach
Lakewood needs Thousands of more houses with Rentable Basements
The problem is there is no more room for that in Lakewood
And Jackson and Howell do not allow that in their Zoning
The only solution is to try to change the Zoning In Jackson and plumstead Township
And that will happen when enough people move in and can change the Status Quo with their votes
As was me ruined earlier 2000 apartments on Cedarbridge are not enough
Lakewood needs two thousand new units every year
And all it will do is create major Traffic on Cedarbridge
Total bs
ReplyDeleteThe only solution
ReplyDeleteStop building Lakewood has the max occupancy when people move out new people can come
