RECORDONLINE.com (http://bit.ly/1gW56D9) reports that the original meeting last month was hastily postponed after throngs of angry local residents stormed the meetinghouse to protest a scheduled presentation by developer Shalom Lamm.
According to locals, the girls’ school will serve the new 396 unit townhouse development in Chestnut Ridge, which they claim is being marketed exclusively to the Hasidic community.
Opponents claim such an influx will overwhelm the tiny village of 400 and the Pine Bush school district.
Recently, several articles, including a 16-page supplement, were published in Jewish and Yiddish papers promoting a new Satmar Hasidic community building in Bloomingburg.
At least one ad listed the number of a Brooklyn realtor for those interested in buying homes.
Lamm claims he had “nothing to do” with the sales promotions, and that he has been working only with licensed Realtors on marketing Chestnut Ridge, but added that, “I’m a developer and I’m here to sell homes. I’m not going to say someone can live or can’t live here.”
Thursday, i.e. yom tov?
And legally-ANYONE can move in. If they deny anyone who isn’t Satmar the chance to move in- you have a pretty good discrimination lawsuit. When will they learn you can’t make a planned community for one type, sect, group ????
The don’t want them to build a ‘girls school’ because it will overwhelm their school district, duh!
As proven in the controversial KJ water pipe fiasco, satmar is within the law, and that hate can blind you.
So if the developer doesn’t show up at the meeting since it is Shmini Atzeres, does he automatically lose?
#2 do u know what u r talking or u r just full of hate to hassidim? Do u really want to move there?
just wandering out loud, in KJ when neighbors where trying to block from growth, and the village rightfully fought them trough the legal system (successful B”H) the zalis complained that its “Marida B”imos”, now when they are facing the same issue how they will handle it
Don’t worry about the law just worry for ur jewish brothers they should where to live. Let the antisemites worry for the
You guys are great at claiming anti semitism.. VICTIMS right? Not in this country. We in Bloomingburg just can not afford (BECAUSE THE COUNTY AND TOWN ARE DIRT POOR-and there are no jobs) you. Kiryas Joel census takers report that your people can not support themselves.. 68 % sit below the poverty level and expect the working man to SUPPORT YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN. Why wont you work? Why wont you claim your income? How many of you will rent off the investors who buy these units and expect HUD to pay your rent? As a group you should be ashamed of yourselves. Where is your self respect? I’ve raised my children, they were well educated and contribute to their society with college degrees that I paid for and that will support their children. We are not prejudice.. we are informed of your high abilities to scam our tax base, taking from our way of life and our childrens’ eduations. So the religious persecution buck can stop here. Be a man and support your family.. Pine Bush Schools will educate your children so that they too can support themselves. Your private schools apparently do not have that ability. ASSIMILATE and stop the hate.
