  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

For that price you could probably build a gated community.

I have long thought it would be wise to buy up a few square blocks in Detroit and build a gated community of lavish condos.

Some of the houses are less than 15 minutes from the Chabad schools in Oak Park, and about 20-30 minutes from the Kosher establishments.

Vegas has some great prices on some great houses that are not far at all from the Jewish community.

Ok before we get all excited about Detroit. The weather sucks, The food sucks, the area sucks! Now that that's out of the way, shallots is only a 4 hour drive, the airport is nice (delta terminal), and the westin in Southfield can be gotten for $55 on Priceline, at least when I was living in my igloo there.

Right, in Utah or Wyoming or Montana. But we're talking about being near a frum infrastructure.

If you're Chabad, I'd say DTW is actually even better chinuch than NYC.
