Of course it’s getting too expensive
But thats what happens when Frum neighboorhoods get too big for themselves.
Real estate prices skyrocket due to demand because EVERYONE wants to live in that neighboorhood. And no one wants to dare try living in an upstart community because, “what would their friends in the other neighboorhood say?”
Kosher food prices will continue to rise when each product or resturant needs 4 different hechsharim just to appeal to enough customers to keep them from going under.
Day school tuition is a result of all of these problems.
Mechanchim need to get paid enough to afford housing in an overpriced neighboorhood, groceries,and they need to pay tuition for their girls (if they teach in a boys school) or boys (if they teach in a girls school)
And once again it falls on the backs of the successful professionals to keep this endless cycle afloat.
So maybe instead of just whining about all of this, community leaders and askanim can get involved and solve a real issue and not just some “crisis.”
My idea would be for the rest of America (as i can not speak to the geography of the NY,NJ area) would be for newly married couples to start their own community in an area not so densly populated with religious jews. Within a few years you can have a world class frum community.
But it would require someone breaking ranks..and we all know its the 4th Yarog V’all Ya’avor
