ReplyDelete500 CARS PLUS 2 SCHOOLS WITH BANQUET HALLS AND DORMITORIES PROPOSED IN THE LAKEWOOD CROSS/ JAMES STREET AREA
ReplyDeletehttps://www.faanews.com/2022/07/500-cars-plus-2-schools-with-banquet.html
The Deal boxes were distributed at 7 AM. There are no boxes left for tonight.
ReplyDeleteNo way in the world should the board approve this development on Cross and James. Cross St is already a nightmare as is! I thought they weren’t approving these selfish and greedy plans anymore!
ReplyDeleteThis is just another example of a private investor/developer using the name of torah by using a school name (e.g. campus zone) to reap huge profits at the expense of the residents. This ridiculous ordinance to allow extremely flexible zoning regulations, which was originally written by a certain college to benefit itself, has been getting abused by greedy developers to unfairly destroy our town.
DeleteWhy can't these yeshivas be opened outside Lakewood to help attract people to a new community?
ReplyDeleteHow is this called a yeshiva to teach Torah if it is being used as a קרדום לחפור בו.
ReplyDeleteThe educational campus is a loophole that is being used
As the saying goes: In Lakewood the biggest profits are the "non-profits"
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteYou are 1000% correct. The level of קרדום לחפור בה that goes on in this town with schools is insane. It is nothing short of a terrible abuse against the taxpaying public, which our well-paid committeemen are doing everything they can to keep it going. The "Chemdas Hatorah" application isn't the only one coming up. There are still others in the planning board pipeline attempting to circumvent our zoning laws without providing the necessary infrastructure.
DeleteTuition increases? Why?
ReplyDeleteMathematically speaking, based on the current tuition being charged per student, with 25 student's per class, even if only 90 percent (it's more) pay the "reduced Lakewood rate", that should cover any established or even semi established school budget and still be left with a handsome surplus.
This is based on what we all know the approximate rate Rabbeim and Moros are being payed, AND taking into account other faculty salary, building, mortgage, and other expenses.
This is not taking into account PPP, Covid grants, security grants and all the fundraisers etc.
So please tell me: Why the tuition increase, and where is the surplus going?
For the record, cheder english teachers are not getting raised. The school is taking the extra tuition charge and using it for the rabbeim only. It is unfair to the english staff which has a much harder time dealing with the kids in the afternoon. Why treat them like second class citizens and not raise them too?
Delete1. The percentage of those paying tuition Lakewood is closer to 95% +
Delete2. Don't forget that there is a large percentage that don't pay the reduced Lakewood rate and pay the higher rate of $2000-$5000 more
Before posting anonymous comments think twice. Mr Cohen suggest posting anonymously is the reason people are in white collar prison. I’m not sure I understand either but I won’t question him.
ReplyDeleteWho is Mr. Cohen and why should anybody care what he thinks?
DeleteEhh..So an atmosphere which people cast insinuating aspersions on ehrliche impeccable
Deleteindividuals who davka post with names, as opposed to the converse instead,
[and would seem to be so oppressive the vast majority need to post anonymously] is an atmosphere that somehow happens to breed respect for integrity
?
The only way to bring the housing cost down is to build houses that have rentals..yes there is traffic but you have everything a yid can want ..supply and demand is what controls the market.. 100 families a year moving to Cleveland doesn't cut it when b
ReplyDeleteMg had 520 chassanim last yr
They are building homes that are not affordable
DeleteThe rentals are over 2000 also not affordable for a young couple but the biggest issue is they are building it for chasidim from outsider Lakewood so all this need for new housing is not helping solve anything but enrich the investors. The young couples of Lakewood have been priced out and all are moving ti Jackson,Manchester, Howell and further. People are fed up with the traffic. There has been zero infrastructure improvements despite all the new planned building.
Mr Cohen nobody is stopping you from commenting anonymously. Not sure why you’re getting so bent out of shape here.
ReplyDeleteGas prices have been dropping daily for forty days, yet all of the republican sheeple from this and other sites cannot credit Biden like they blamed him for the increase.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why
They're lower than they were but still sky high.
Delete1) In 18 months he hiked the price of gas up from $2.30 a gallon to over $4.30 a gallon.
Delete2) The price of gas always drops after July 4th. Every year.
3) He emptied the emergency gas put away for a war etc. (And he sold a chunk of it to China!) The US never had so little gas put away since 40 years ago.
The sheeple are out in full force.
DeleteSad
Even so..sheeple is a better option defending against crows eating like vultures
DeleteBecause Biden said they were Putin’s prices so he doesn’t get credit when it goes down. Besides it ain’t exactly cheap now it’s just not as insane as it was.
