You are missing the housing crisis which is probably the most fundamental factor facing an exponentially growing community. There simply aren't enough houses in the Lakewood area, and so far, the community leaders seem to be oblivious.

Additionally, in the Covid era the community put into place very large salary increases for Kollel yungeleit and school staff, with absolutely no thought about the implication of this for the future of the community, especially for those who rely on welfare.
