ReplyDeleteNo one is going to La Isha in a shared room....
ReplyDeleteIf it's free people will be there- that's Lakewood mentality
DeleteDo they currently have shared rooms? Are they used?
DeleteThis is very common in Israel
DeleteNot sure why you say that. There are shared rooms there and they are always used...
DeleteI’ve paid and stayed in a shared room. BH had a most beautiful experience! So happy many others who can not afford it, will be so well taken care of and will gain the strength to continue caring for Klal Yisrael s future! TYH!
ReplyDeleteThe losers are .....
ReplyDeleteAlso we all feel sorry for the traffic "losers" who will NOT encounter as much traffic as in Lakewood proper, thus being very very unfair.
Losers are Lakewood taxpayers who continue supplying tax free school properties for the Jackson residents...
DeleteLet us be honest, those schools would not have been restricted just to Jackson children, Lakewood children would have been bussed there as well.
ReplyDeleteCertainly some children would be from Lakewood, but for the most part it would be for Jackson residents.
DeleteIf anyone in Lakewood Twp had a drop of seichel and foresight they would have bid on the property themselves and then resold it to the developer. Even if they take a loss it would remove major source of traffic at peak traffic time.
But at the end of the day no one really cares
It only delays the inevitable.
DeleteWho can blame Jackson if they're trying to preserve as much of the suburban/rural nature of the town as they can? They're smarter than our govt. who let developers run free to do whatever they wanted to do in Lakewood. I don't blame developers. They have businesses and they want the business to make money. I blame our representatives, who don't represent us, for always giving into every whim and variance request made by the developers. The town of Jackson is keeping its eye on the ball and doing what's best for the people of Jackson.
ReplyDeleteLakewood townhouses make the city look like a army bace
ReplyDeleteWhat's a bace?
DeleteArmy of hashem
DeleteSo let the Lakewood schools not accept Jackson students and let them apply to Jackson public school and you'll see how fast they well them the piece of land!!
ReplyDeleteBace , race, face, lace, pace.
ReplyDeleteAlso: cace, vace
