    1. Feel bad to say it, but when you bought in the woods you knew there was a stadium across the street and DPW lot in your backyard. Yes you were duped by your builder, but that's where you chose to live.. if you didn't do any research it's your fault.

  8. When looking at the high housing prices in Lakewood, I lament the fact that we don't have a Jewish state in our homeland which allows any Jewish person to immigrate there, a Jewish state which provides free tuition and healthcare, and boasts limud hatorah and picturesque scenery, and kosher products on a level that far outpaces America.

    Oh, wait. Such a state does exist.
