A few comments to the posters here. In many parts of Monsey, real estate values have been stagnant to down for several years. We can speculate about the cause, but all the new building can’t help. Also, many Ultra Orthodox (perhaps not Chassidish) are not happy with all of the over building in Monsey. Traffic on Fridays, Sundays and certain times of the day are terrible. The building growth is exponential, not incremental. Part of the problem is that every election cycle, the Rabbonim, Askonim and Roshei Yeshivos declare one side to be anti-semites who will close all of the Mosdos, so you have to vote for St. Lawrence. They don’t address the concerns of many frum people living in Monsey, who would also prefer less building. There is something between no building and stuffing as many units as possible into every corner. Frankly, if I weren’t frum, I would also be an “anti-semite”. Opposing all this development is anti-semitic. What else could it be. This is not just about building. The town is corrupt.
