N.J. is one of the most expensive places to rent in the country, new study says

The roughly one-third of New Jersey households comprised of tenants face rents that rank among the most costly in the nation, according to a new report, which shows only California, the District of Columbia, Hawaii and New York are less affordable than the Garden State.

A renter in New Jersey must earn $25.17 an hour — or $52,347 a year — to afford the average fair-market rate of $1,309 for a two-bedroom rental, according to the annual report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition.  The report, which defines affordability as a tenant not spending more than 30 percent of their income on rent and utilities, has ranked New Jersey among the top five most expensive places to rent in the country for years.

Coming to Lakewood for Shavuos? heavy traffic as memorial day weekend begins

If your going to spend Shavuos in Lakewood keep in mind this Friday Erev Yom Tov is also  the start of memorial day weekend. Its the official beginning of the summer travel season and many are expected to head down to the Jersey shore. The Garden State Parkway will probably be congested with shore traffic you may want to use route 9 as an alternate to the GSP. 

Lakewooders fed daily dose of Yellow Journalisim

Every mundane news story is a "BREAKING" one, a car was submerged it did not say which lake so everyone assumed it was in Lake Carasaljo and who knows what happened. The constant updates and breaking text alerts for minor stupidities and non news items has become a norm. A car fire somewhere on the GSP, a press release of some law enforcement parade etc..  Hopefully The Tzibbur is not buying into this.
