IMHO, cities in general are just bad for humanity. So much unhealthy things about living in big cities.

Never passed.

Interesting. So they are allowing the program growth to explode due to the many more geographic areas eligible?

Very happily left Brooklyn over 20 years ago - AFAIK there wasn't much left then :) (Except for my parents, and some restaurants)

Boggles my mind that people will overlook all the garbage for that.

Brooklyn is really thinning out. Just look at the schools. Every one of them is desperate for children.

Have to imagine 2020 will make things worse.

Probably. However, I think it'll be gradual worsening. If anything 2020 slowed the thinning down. Job confidence is lower, resulting in fewer buyers in the home market (speaking for the some frum neighborhoods i'm familiar with).

Lakewood & Toms River have opened up tremendous opportunity for Brooklyn'ers.
I made the move from Brooklyn to Toms River with 2 years basement rental in Lakewood in the middle.

Lakewood has just as good a food as Brooklyn with all different price ranges... And the best part is that there is parking everywhere you go. Family is a HUGE part of it & that is indeed a big change although 2 sisters, 2 uncles, my inlaws, many many cousins have moved to Lakewood/Toms River over the past 2 years. There is a MAJOR movement for all the obvious reasons.

Even without family in Lakewood area already, there's a huge difference between having to fly (or roadtrip) to see family in NY and being able to drive without too much hassle.

100%. Lakewood housing market is booming now. Have a comparable house to mine that I sold a year ago being listed now for $40k more than what I had sold it for. Demand for summer rentals in TR are through the roof.
