What angers me about East Ramapo is the frum response to everything. Unfortunately, we spent decades snubbing zoning laws, making living there uncomfortable for anyone who isn’t Yeshivish or Chassidish, fighting tooth and nail refusing compromise to make sure things go “our way” 100% even if it’s to the detriment of others, pretending that PR is a thing for goyim (because they’re all anti-Semites anyway, right?), ignoring basic city planning and turning entire areas into a nightmare snarl of traffic, and doing pretty much nothing to endear ourselves to the neighbors.
Then, the frum oilom expands outwards towards Chestnut Ridge and Tallman and everyone is so shocked that we are unwelcome.
