The majority of the town is there because of the yeshiva and wants what they do. Even the people that didnt attend BMG and moved recently because houses were “affordable -there” and the yeshivos were good moved because the yeshiva is set up there and it became a jewish community.
Like it or not you have to pay taxes. blaming the roads on the yeshiva is stupidity.
The letters in the yated this week were laughable, 2 examples one person wrote “that someone from the vaad said taxes other places in NJ are higher and letter writer feels that shouldn’t be someone from the vaads response his answer should be we know this is unacceptable and will do what we can to lower it”. second letter “garbagemen and a few police officers dont cost that much”
Firstly when you own a house you pay taxes. once you understand and accept that you can discuss getting it lowered but to act as if it’s unjustifiable that you need to pay taxes get a reality check.
Secondly, “garbagemen” salary is the least costly aspect of garbage removal. A neighborhood that 10 years ago had 20 single family homes and today has 50 houses with apartments cost much more to upkeep. Again taxes are part of home ownership.
