@ujm,
1) I see you’re still stuck on the tuition part which proves nothing about materialism.
2) The entire lifestyle, not just the homes, of Heimish Yidden is based on materialism. I gave specific examples, and you can just walk through BP, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Lakewood, Monsey, etc. or read the magazines geared to those communities for examp,les on your own.
3) “Unlike Chareidi schools where many parents can be paying $4k/year per child, some even paying less than that and some parents even paying almost nothing” Umm….I know plenty of Boro Park schools where this isn’t the case. Not everyone gets free busing or tuition breaks
4) Repeating the sme line without proof doesn’t make it truth ( “There’s no doubt that materialism and and pursuit of worldly pleasures is far greater in MO communities than in any other Orthodox community. Even if no one is immune, unfortunately.”)
5) Repeated bad-faith ad hominim attacks (2.1 children AND A DOG!!!) Doesn’t actually prove a point. And I don’t see what your issue with a dog is. My next door neighbor’s dogs Kugel and String Bean love to play with my kids.
