I live nearby, and I have mixed feelings about this. It’s fine to have a small yeshiva like ZA in the neighborhood, but I believe they intend to grow significantly. That brings major parking issues, which I don’t believe the yeshiva has addressed.

“Rowdy” or not, this is a residential area where people (both yidden and goyim) purchased homes with the expectation that the zoning laws would keep it looking an feeling residential. The new “high rise” building is out of scale with the nearby buildings (If you don’t believe it look at the photos of the existing building on Google maps and Google Earth) Why do they need a dormitory when there is public transportation readily available in the area.

There is one thing to be against this proposal and there is yet another thing to post your negative comments in a public forum. Yes, the sonay yisrael out there DO look at the blogs so they could use our words against us.

What??? The community is concerned about the rowdiness of yeshiva bochurim. Oh, please.

I don’t live in Bayswater but I have visited the area several times. Once I was there for a Shabbos. I will never forget the rowdiness of the non jewish kids who live on the street next to Bay 25th street. They were partying with very loud music late into the night, But the community is concerned about rowdiness from yeshiva bochurim?????

They need to get their priorities straight. If parking and the building was the only problem, they would not have mentioned their concern of rowdiness. I can read between lines.

It will definitely “change the character of the neighborhood”, and the neighborhood should be thankful, vhamaven yavin.
