  2. I am curious about this FAA guy. Does he appreciate Limud Hatorah at all? Does he see the Kollel that wishes to expand as a positive force in town? Or does he think it is just another building that is seeking a variance?

    Because he complains that he is unsure if the Kollel is accredited as an institute of higher education by the government. Why does he care? What difference does it make to him or anyone else in Lakewood?

    The Kollel is a force for the good in town. A Kollel that takes care of its yungeleit, and has a plan for them to follow. Shouldn't we be encouraging such Kollelim? We need more of them, not less.

    1. It isn't a default positive just because of the name

    2. FAA's job is to shine a light on the corruption in town. If FAA would have an agenda other than that, he would be part of the corruption.
      FAA would shine the light on his own mother if she was engaging in corruption. No one is spared by FAA.

    3. they want to build duplexes for profit by using the "campus ordinance" which allows an accredited educational facility to do whatever it wants. since they want to do that based on being an accredited institution, it is a natural question to ask. if they just wanted to build a kollel, rather than wanting to build duplexes in a zone where they are not allowed, that would be a different story.

  3. At 7:31 p.m., when AP projected Trump as the winner, less than 3% of votes had been counted; in many locations, like at Crestview School of Inquiry in Clive, Iowa, votes had yet to be cast. Other news organizations quickly followed, projecting Trump as the winner: CNN, ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC.

    The early call was initially met with fury by Trump’s opponents. A DeSantis spokesperson released a statement calling the announcement “election interference.” “The media is in the tank for Trump,” DeSantis communications director Andrew Romeo said, “and this is the most egregious example yet.”

  6. Where is there room on white street for this?
    The day care on new Egypt causes massive traffic backups daily despite what they lie to the boards during the applications.
    Look how all approvals get passed with promises of no cars or traffic because everyone will walk or lives on site bla bla bla and when it is built they double the amount of people allowed and have traffic from all over coming.
    Sheker has no makom for Torah
    There's a shulchan aruch with nizkei shecheinim
    Having a few board members in your pocket will not spare you from din vecheshbin in the olam Haemes

  7. How many cars make left turns at the tracks on James st into the service road to majestic way blocking traffic
    Didn't the board say No left turns well once it's passed they do what they went
    How about the new girls school building on park they said no simcha halls guess what there are simchos there and traffic all over the neighborhood
    Keep going down the list
    They say whatever is necessary to get approved and then do whatever they want ignoring all the promises and conditions
