    It seems that today almost EVERYONE (in the yeshivish community) moves to Lakewood after marriage. Some like myself start out in Eretz Yisroel but they too eventually end up in Lakewood. I do not mean to put down Lakewood or BMG Ch”V. It is a beautiful town full of Torah and Yiddishkeit. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas how a trend can be started for people to move to other places for those couples who a. the husband does not go for the learning style in BMG, b. would like a Kollel that actually pays, c. the wife needs a place that has job availabilities that pay more than $12.00 an hour! d. All of the above! Of course there are many Kollelim in other places but most people need at least a couple of friends to start out with. I personally know a lot of people who say that they are not interested in going to Lakewood but will or did already end up there because of lack of any where else to go. Any comments?
