Just to clear up the shtreimal questions. Up until ~ 15 years ago there was an (un)official takana in Bmg not to bring a shtreimal into the Beis medrash.
The effect of this was that for the most part, people only wore shtreimals at home, Bmg was the center of the community.


Can anyone please write a valid reason that Shtreimel's weren't allowed in BMG? Other than petty political and power reasons?
It'd probably like there are shuls now that don't allow to take out a smartphone in shul, in other words "your unwelcome"

I think the point is that the smartphone is unwelcome

You don't see why someone would consider a smartphone to be inappropriate in the shul? ??? :o :o :o

I get that but there are so many who spend mariv on WhatApp etc that there is good reason to say that it lowers the decorum of the shul. I am not telling you or him what to do but to say that it means that they don't want certain people is utterly ridiculous, unless it is along the lines of "we don't want people who talk in shul". In general I would only daven from my phone when left with no other choice including baal peh but that is my personal thing.

Here's why a moratorium on building will never happen:
30-50% of the Lakewood economy depends on the real estate industry.

From builders to suppliers to interior designers to agents to day labourers.
A moratorium would mean thousands loosing their parnassa.

You know Lakewood isn't the only place where real estate exists, right?

Open up the voice for example. 50% of businesses service the LOCAL real estate industry.
How would it help local businesses if new comun8ties open elsewhere?

(BTW, the other 20% of business are clothing, 20% food, 10% "other". )

Real estate companies in Lakewood (and all related services) aren't limited to the customers of real estate in Lakewood.
They will just start building more in neighboring towns.

How about this show of wealth coming from Lakewood.
Like the old saying "if your a knacker and now one can hear you, are you truly a knacker?" Bh they brought a photographer! and even a noted shadchan was there presumably to make shidduchim with the newly frum ppl in Missouri!
