Just because towns don’t want a large number of residents in tax-exempt housing (such as religious school dormitories) doesn’t make that town an “Adolf Club”, and just because homeowners tied to 30 years of mortgage payments don’t want to see their property values fall as their taxes rise doesn’t make them anti-Semitic; the religion is being used as a shield to devastate neighborhoods while silencing opposition, and plays no real role in this. Koreans seeking to build Christian churches in northern Bergen County face similar opposition (between traffic concerns and removing large property lots from the tax rolls), and nobody claims the towns involved are racist or anti-Christian. There is ZERO opposition to other Jewish people living in the areas with conflicts with growing Orthodox populations, and some form the opposition to having a that population move in.

If we are at a point where posting signs that your home is not for sale (to ANYONE) is anti-Semitic, or where towns don’t want to see the property tax burdens shifted from a large number of lots to a smaller number, then you have to ask yourself if you’re missing the larger picture. Discounting very real financial issues by labeling them anti-Semitic is absurd, and generates anti-Semitism itself.

Tax exempt status for religious institutions exists because they do good for the community. I would rather 10 churches open up in my community then a welfare office.

The problem with these communities is that they failed to zone enough industrial/commercial properties, rely heavily on residential zones and the local government spends money like a drunken sailor. Never mind the fact that NJ has the worse school funding formula on the planet.

None of that is the fault of the Jews or any religion.
