As a resident of the Town of Ramapo I can say that some of your points are well-taken, as they relate to the politics of the Town. However, regarding the original point that the Rabbi introduced, the Shabbos House, it doesn't make sense. Nobody is making any money on this & it is hard to believe that anyone that is not biased, would believe that it would attract a crowd of undesirables. In addition to the Salvation Army Training Center, you also have the Tagaste Monastery, as well as the new Suffern Library & The Esther Gitlow Towers, a high-rise senior citizen housing project.
Why is this former single-family house a blight on the character of the neighborhood?
