She said that at this point she would rather walk to route 9 (ten minute walk or so) than drive…she spoke about killing the serene neighborhood with huge commercial building. These are very reasonable arguments that many neighbors throughout America would make, Jewish or not.
Regarding Ruchniyus, personally I get where she is coming from, although I can also hear another angle. It’s debatable…but yes she make a big deal about the ruination in terms of overbuilding, congestion, and quality of life. And I can not imagine an honest argument to the contrary.
It will make money for Yeshivos, specifically BMG. If she doesn’t like that she can leave for somewhere nicer that is “out of town”.
