The Vaad are the developers and the investors! When our block tried to stop an investor from renting to lowlives, a major askan contacted a neighbor and wanted to know what we were doing. Besides for the Yeshiva, one of the reasons many of us have settled in Lakewood is for the quiet suburban lifestyle. Now people come here and bring the city lifestyle with them. I used to breathe a sigh of relief when I came back to Lakewood from a visit to N.Y. No more traffic, no more tension, is what I used to say. But now…As long as they can build another ugly, congested complex and make mo $$ from taxes, all this uncontained and unplanned for growth will continue. Build the houses without having the infrastucture to make it livable.
