There is a difference between shuls and yeshivas. Shuls have to be in the neighborhoods they serve. Yeshivos should be confined to main roads. Maybe Yeshivos already are in Monsey, but I don’t think so. Shuls need parking. What they frequently do is have a few parking places and claim the shul is primarily a Shabbos shul. Parking then becomes a big nuisance for all of the neighbors. I think the issue that makes people most unhappy, is the over building. It isn’t just Kaser. Anywhere there is land in the greater Monsey, you are at risk of someone shoehorning many units, in what was previously zoned for standalone single family houses on a minimum of half an acre. Frum people live in Monsey for the quiet and suburban lifestyle as well.
