Dear Matzav,
The township of Jackson’s next move was shocking. Instead of sitting down and trying to understand why Eruvs are needed they started issuing violations to over 300 residents who all have basketball hoops in the ROW. Enforcement is not the answer, rather mutual understanding and working together is.
While perhaps in the winter a hoop in the street can lead to harm to a snow plow, a basketball hoop on the ROW can not. Perhaps allow a waiver for the summer and not the winter. For a town to be so aggressive is shocking and sad. Sudden enforcement is illegal and un -american. Taking down our children’s hoops is not the way to govern and is quite pathetic.
Kids need a outlet. With the increase usage of drugs in our country is Jackson acting in a intelligent fashion and taking away our children’s safe and healthy past time.
What is the ROW in Jackson?
What is ROW?
Right Of Way- the patch of grass between the sidewalk and the street
Fear not.
Once we become the majority all will be well. Patience.
We don’t know the future.
The era of prophecy has passed.
I have no rachmanus. You guys claimed anti-semitism for every stupid thing. You’re the boy who cried wolf. Sorry. Follow the rules, Jackson residents, or move out.
Dont be such a bigshot.
Right of way
Tell your rebuke the blacks and latinos who are the leaders in street crime. Yeshiva people don’t mug anyone or paint graffiti in the streets.
Is that your attitude? That you want to be compared to, and treated like, blacks and latinos? Careful what you ask for.
Who told you to move to a hostile, anti-Semitic town in the first place? I wouldn’t move to Jackson even if you paid me.
Did i miss something. Why do we need to put hoops in the street? Keep them in the driveways.
Jackson is number 14 on the list of safest cities in America. More safe than Lakewood or monsey. That’s why it pays for young Yeshiva couples to buy homes there. It’s cheaper and closer to get to their Yeshiva each morning by car. They don’t get stuck in traffic from that direction. My advice is buy today. Prices are cheap anywhere between 200 and 380 a one family home not connected to other houses. Be smart. Buy cheap. This is advice from someone who bought many buildings when Boro park was 30 to 100 thousand dollars a house. I bought some buildings for 40 thousand dollars. Today Chinese want to buy it for four million dollars. Jackson is the place to go. My advice to the young kollel chevra. You won’t regret it. It’s safest jewish community in all of America. Hatzlocha.
Who are you? I would like to contact you to discuss different investment opportunities.
