You want near Great Neck? Green Olive pizza near LIJ in New Hyde Park is a delicious pizza store.

what are the benefits?

More people who need housing can find what they need. Your friends, your kids, cousins, etc. A little traffic is worth it so they can have what you (hopefully) have - - a house

Do you honestly think the local infrastructure can support it?

Yes. With some more traffic. Could be healthy growth

Anyone have an idea what the complimentary free gift with the coupon for LA fitness will be on Sunday? Will it be the gym bag that they are giving out to new enrollees?

There is no way the current infrastructure of the Five Towns can appropriately deal with this extra town . The local streets are jammed without a simple way to expand the major thruways and roads. Getting out or into the community during rush hour or on Fridays is a nightmare as Rockaway turnpike is the only main street that gets you to the Van Wyck/Belt. Moreover, all the yeshivas have no room and there are already a shortage of high schools for the community needs. At least in Lakewood the housing, tuition, and cost of living is more affordable.

I guess these are the usual problems of a growing and successful frum community but it seems to be hitting a point where it will not be so convenient to live here anymore especially considering the premium you have to pay.

I wonder when the next towns will become from like Lynbrook and Malverne

the way everyone is talking is the attitude of I already bought a house I’m happy why should we try make housing available to the many people that want to live here. Tell them to go somewhere else. The same thing happened in far rockaway a bunch of years ago they changed the zoning so people couldn’t build 2 family homes or put 2 houses on a big lot. Basically I’m happy why make room for people that don’t have houses yet
Now there may be issues with this specific project but the attitude is just selfish.

Not what anyone is saying actually lol. There gets to a point where the density of population in a community becomes too much for the infrastructure to handle to the extent that it negatively affects the quality of life of those who currently live there.

A bunch of single family homes is not that. Neither is 2 family homes in far rockaway. They are not building skyscrapers over here.
People do not remember what it is like to look for housing after they have settled themselves in

That's exactly what I'm saying. Thanks for clarifying.But it's more selfish for people to ruin a neighborhood just so they can live there.

And I think far Rockaway looks terrible with all the big house on small lots
