Hey Yoeli, sheese mir ah alligator, pleeze.

You reminded me of an old favorite joke:

A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted a pair of real alligator shoes in the worst way, but she didn't want to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking. After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Maybe I'll just go out and catch my own alligator so I can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable price!" The shopkeeper said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe you'll luck out and catch yourself a big one!" Determined, the blonde turned and headed for the swamps, set on catching herself an alligator. Later in the day, the shopkeeper is driving home, when he spots the young woman standing waist deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he sees a huge 9-foot alligator swimming quickly toward her. She takes aim, kills the creature and with a great deal of effort hauls it on to the swamp bank. Lying nearby were several more of the dead creatures. The shopkeeper watches in amazement. Just then the blonde flips the alligator on its back, and frustrated, shouts out, "Darn, this one isn't wearing any shoes either!"

Lazer Kraus explaining why he backed out of the project. Essentially nothing is said in the first three links but the fourth has some actual info. Download the file and upload here to adjust the listening speed.

TL;DL is basically they didn't want to give him the control he wanted and he felt it moved away from his vision of an exclusively super-chassidish community.

Based on your TL;DL that sounds like a good thing.

I suspected this will happen and pointed it out upthread... another failure on LK resume...

Hopefully it will clear the way for this project to succeed.

I thought someone lunger was doing it?

The project is by Y Lunger and investors. This guy LK wanted to be part of it and promote it to Chsidishe oilem.

To set a few controversial facts straight:
1) this man has tried to establish multiple communities in the past
2) he tried to establish a community in Orlando outskirts with R' Kesler from Viznits backing it, but R Kesler backed out so that fell apart.
3) he is an activist for low budgeting but is now supporting a new development that is more expensive than cheaper places in NY (like blumingburg)
4) R' Moskowits who is supporting this was involved in multiple projects that didn't work out.
5) There is a big factor with this person's heavy involvement in anti vax propaganda, he is from the founders of the Cheder in Monsey (bais shulem I think) that's only for anti vaxxers. Point is this person has a problem with the liberal NY. I met him personally this week, and have more questions than answers.

I really hope the community does work out with great success, I'm just lowering the expectations.

Important detail missing from your post: this person has nothing to do with this project other than PR. He's dabbled a lot in this subject and became quite well-known for it, so the developers are "working with him".

This is a project by serious developers and backed by even more serious cash (based on the available info). If there was ever a way to make a project like this work, it's the way this here is being done IMO.

LK is not a failure, what he really wants, he gets..........Attention
hence the reason for using a fake name......... Attention
and he is getting it, which from his prospective is Success

Disclaimer: i do agree to many of his opinions

@US there are many small typos throughout ("full fledge" medical center, for example)... they might want to have someone give it a good go-over.

Just saw this, Will let them know. Thanks
