In the 2 shuls ( 1 small, 1 midsize) that I daven , there are 11 singles over 22 yrs. of age , counting brothers & sisters. On my block, I counted 7 ( they go to different shuls, so I’m not counting them twice).
Between 5-8 more that are in the neighborhood whom I know casually. There’s no shidduch crisis?
And this is only a 5-10 lock radius.. Yeshivish, not to yeshivish but black hats, even some chassidic, some no hats.
IOW, a mix.
Some parents know others in other neighborhoods who are also single and talk about the problem.. I’ve never encountered this situation before, and it must be going on everyplace except maybe in all chassidic neighborhoods.
There’s a shidduch crisis.
