AZOI.IS:

I thought homes were more expensive in Boro Park. Perhaps they would move to somewhere further out, thereby lowering their costs?

A similar concept exists im Meah Shearim, where the housing is expensive and the people are less wealthy, and they are moving out to the newer charaidi communities (or at least their children are).

If tuition is so low (avg 2K) then I understand why the school is not making it. Thank you. The new questions are:

1: Why does this school attract low income parents (perhaps something to do with costs to move?), and how can it get current parents to pay more (especially being that they seeem to have “no” alternative). Once again, perhaps a minimum tuition is in order here?

2: Being that Flatbush is so close to Boro Park (10 min according to Google from 13th & New Utrecht to BLOPPY? (thats what came up when I searched for Prospect Park (what sort of name is that?)) why can’t these parents send to Flatbush schools?

Once again please excuse my ignorance.
