Every home is big on glass in a Toms River, New Jersey, neighborhood called North Dover. Windows let in the sun, or show off chandeliers in multistory entrance halls.
These days, though, most homeowners draw the blinds, retreating from brushes with a fast-growing Orthodox Jewish community that’s trying to turn a swath of suburban luxury 10 miles (16 kilometers) from Atlantic beaches into an insular enclave. The rub, a township inquiry found, is “highly annoying, suspicious and creepy” tactics used by some real-estate agents.
They show up on doorsteps to tell owners that if they don’t sell, they’ll be the only non-Orthodox around. Strangers, sometimes several to a car, shoot photos and videos. When they started pulling over to ask children which house was theirs, parents put an end to street-hockey games.
Lakewood, once a rural destination for Rockefellers and other industry titans, is now a land of synagogues, religious schools, kosher groceries and residential neighborhoods in the grip of minivan gridlock. It’s also a place testing the limits of zoning enforcement for 95,000 people, at least half Orthodox, by Schnall’s estimate.
This month, after fire destroyed a single-family home, the Ocean County sheriff said that it was being used as an unauthorized dorm for as many as two dozen yeshiva students. Downtown, inspectors boarded up a commercial building four times, citing non-permitted use as a catering hall and Orthodox study center, only to see the plywood removed and the space reopened. The fifth board-up succeeded, backed by a planning-board ruling, said Steven Secare, the township attorney.
That’s unlikely, according to Michael Dedominicis, a 40-year-old construction company owner who leads a social-media group called Toms River Strong that urges the town’s 91,000 residents not to sell. His account of dropping by a neighbor’s open house and being denied entry by its Orthodox listing agent is included in a 16-page report on real-estate canvassing issued by township officials Feb. 5.
“Where is the law in this situation?” Dedominicis said in an interview. “I have homeowners calling me, saying, 'They’re converting a three-car garage into bedrooms!'”
The opposition, he said, has nothing to do with dislike of Jews, but with a fear that Toms River will become like Lakewood’s more tattered sections, with cars parked on lawns, overgrown landscaping, trash piled at curbs and residents crowding single-family homes.

Oh, come on now. In Queens, our elected official claim that this type of living is vibrant and diverse. What's wrong with these New Jerseyans?

They don't want it to become like kiryas joel! That's good for them! Kiryas joel Is a town upstate where 85 percent of its town is on welfare! It's a town with the highest percentage of people on welfare in anywhere in this country!
Good for them! you can't count on local elected officials anymore.
Anti-semitic much?
What about the insular Muzzie/Chinese/Russian/Spanish communities? They don't have high percentages of people on welfare? And they aren't even here legally in many cases. When's the last time you were knifed or shot by an Orthodox Jew?
Now we don't want to be accused of anti-semitism and supporters of Hamas.
These tactics are more in line with how the east, mid and north sections of goddamn Brooklyn got gentrified and displaced working poor, middle class and immigrant families than in Queens. Not counting the Bukharian swarm and tacky development in Forest Hills.
This is may be a sleazier though less deadlier version of how the Israeli govt. and the IDF force settlements in Palestinian villages.

Refusal into the open house should be enough to prompt fed action on housing discrimination. They need to document.

And you can bet the farm that all those applications are fraudulent - they have money - jobs - businesses - all off the books. Talk about the need for the feds to step in.
Don't expect any help from Governor Christie. He's busy dancing for Trump.
"His account of dropping by a neighbor’s open house and being denied entry by its Orthodox listing agent..."
That fight there is blatant housing discrimination. It is a federal crime according to the Fair Housing Act of 1968. That alone should be enough to shut them down not to mention the jail time.
I think you mean Brooklyn...
these people are like roaches. Borat was right!
Hmmmm...just like Flushing Queens...a non inclusive Asian colony.
Round eyes not welcome. Who was it that warned the downtown community about the inv-Asian that was to come?
Not bad enough that the extreme Orthodox Jews are creating havoc by forcing their way into Arab Palestine with land gran settlements.
Monroe New York is another example.
What? They actually WANT to create a ghetto type neighborhood? As in Jewish ghetto, ala Warsaw, Poland before WW2?.
The Orthodox dominate Lakewood’s school board. Though most schoolchildren attend private religious school, the township provides free, gender-segregated busing, which helps account for about half of a $12 million budget deficit. Some Toms River residents fear a similar drain.

Where are all the feminists, activists, and SJWs????
Funny, if this was a Christian or Catholic School led school, it would be a nonstop campaign in media and on the internet against them, but its happening to what is considered one of the fellow protected classes, so instead its either ignored, or excused away (such as "its their culture and we have to respect their beliefs").

Yes.
Its very important for their image that they appear modest and destitute (that they are making sacrifices for their religion) to keep the sympathy train (hauling the cash caboose) chugging along.
"...Chinese...communities?"
Go into one of the many Asian supermarkets and watch the checkout lines. You'd be shocked at how many Asians are ginning the Food Stamp system.
"When's the last time you were knifed...by an Orthodox Jew?"
Ask that of any eight day old orthodox boy when the Mohel is performing the Bris. ; )
Nothing you can do. Move ASAP. They clearly are determined to take over.

Hahahaha...more trick than Bugs Bunny!
Same phenomena thats been happening all over Brooklyn and parts of Queens. This is the end !!
>implying SJWs give Jews a pass
Anti-Semitism is one of the key planks of their platform. Jews are considered "white and privileged" and therefore evil in their eyes.
speaking of ghettoes ...
this post just in time to observe the 500th anniversary of the establishment of the Venice, Italy Jewish ghetto, 29 March 1516 ...

"White Flight" How funny run from the Jews..
In flushing , the supermarkets I've frequented, practically all pay in cash or credit card. Keep making stuff up if you are mentally ill please seek medical assistance. Anyone can live in flushing. Just because you don't want to live there that's your problem. You can go live in Harlem or Williamsburg. All this phony nonsense about Asians gaming the system is bizarre. You have posters talking about rampant prostitution but I guess you frequent those establishments right?
So the exclusive white Christian community of toms river is afraid that too many Jews will move into their neighborhood and take over. Where will all the poor wealthy Christians go? How will they survive?
"In flushing , the supermarkets I've frequented, practically all pay in cash or credit card."
Not the ones I've seen. It's usually a mad house the day after food stamp handout day at the non-Asian supermarkets. They use cash and credit at their supermarkets and the other days of the month.
21st century blockbusting.......
Ever drive thru lakewood,it is a shithole.
