I believe that everyone should be able to practice whatever religion they believe in. The reason I don’t want their community to move to my hometown is because of the over building and congestion that is created by the overwheming influx. The rules for the Lakewood industrial park havce erroded beyond comprehension. Since when do tractor trailers and children go together? There used to be a volleyball net on Oberlin Ave. Imagine that ball being hit into the roadway in front of a fully loaded (unable to stop quickly) tractor trailer! The industrial park was created to help reduce real estate taxes. With so many (exempt) schools who do not pay taxes, what will happen when the whole park is schools? I don’t want to pay for school busing that will add significantly to our tax bills. And how many homes will be transformed into yeshevas or synagogues? Again adding to our tax bills. These things have nothing to do with religion it has to do with quality of life. It’s a nighmare trying to drive around Lakewood. It didn’t used to be that way. I don’t want my hometown to turn into another Lakewood. Again nothing to do with religion. Next stop Ocean county government? They already own Lakewood twsp and the Board of Ed. People who have nothing to do with the public schools except the busing. Get rid of courtesy busing! You can’t afford it. I feel so sorry for anyone who has a child in that public school system. It was never great but it just gets worse and worse. No money for books and more, but lots of money to pay for hidden talented community children. How many in that school are Christian, black or Hispanic? I believe that everything I have said is not anti-semetic. It’s about quality of life. That’s all folks.

Great job you are doing! I've seen so many great people and families lose homes and neighbors they love in Lakewood as we were all pushed out, not to mention our kids got jipped on their education due to cuts. Its long overdue to have a voice that cares bring knowledge, truth and the facts to prove it! Thank you-

I believe in our freedom of speech, only those who have something to hide will try to take away our rights.

Stay the course.
Overdevelopment will ruin it for all, and ultimately, even for those who initially benefited from it.
The environment cannot speak for itself. Rising up for it is not anti-Semitic.

Manchester is also on the list becoming over crowded. Every empty lot a new home goes up in a weeks time. They must be made well, that's a joke. Garbage building.

Sad this isn't just an Ocean County problem but the moment you standup for your rights you are labeled an anti semite. Why does only one side have a protected voice and everyone else is called a bigot?

THE CRY OF ANTI-SEMITIC IS NOTHING FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH, JUST LOOK TO THE NORTH TO SEE WHAT OVER DEVELOPMENT HAS DONE TO DESTROY ROCKLAND AND ORANGE COUNTIES. THE BLOC VOTE CONTROLS THE POLITICANS BECAUSE WITH OUT THEIR VOTE THEY CAN NOT BE ELECTED TO OFFICE, THIS IS UNAMERICAN FOR ONE GROUP TO HAVE THAT KIND OF POWER.

Opposing the take over and destruction of your town is not racist or anti-semetic
