From Hefkervelt - Hamodia Prime magazine article in the rental apartment shortage in Lakewood. Masa Umatan has never had so few pages continuously. The shortage is causing prices to go sky high. Factors for shortage, less building, covid, high demand as couples not moving to EY, high construction costs. Lakewood has room for only another 2000 units according to some in the industry. A recent survey of chadarim and Bais Yaakovs in Lakewood counted 40 eighth-grade classes each, which amounts to approximately 1,000 14-year-old pairs of children. If we project ahead, this means that in eight years from now, when this class will be in shidduchim, there should be 1,000 couples getting married and looking for their first apartments. Adding 1,000 apartments to Lakewood per year is really unsustainable. Suggestions are to keep moving to lower exits on the GSP.
