Opinion

Dear Editor:

I am surprised at all this hullabaloo around Mrs. Krantz’s article. I am even more surprised that no one has suggested any solutions. People are just debating whether or not it was right of Mrs. Krantz to bring up this issue and whether or not KGH is a good place to raise your family now.

Dear Editor:

This letter is in response to Rabbi Schonfeld’s article, entitled “Bamos: Still a Major Problem.”

Dear Editor:

This is for all of those who reacted over the top to Goldy’s article saying that it’s too expensive for a younger couple or young family to buy a house in Kew Gardens Hills. I have three words for all of you: Get over it.

Dear Editor:

I completely agree with Moshe Hill’s article last week regarding likely implied or express threats to the Chauvin jurors.

Dear Editor:

I am writing in regard to Goldy Krantz’s “Dear John” letter in last week’s paper. As a long-time Kew Gardens Hills resident, homeowner, and someone who loves our wonderful neighborhood, I am greatly offended by her article. All of us in KGH know that there are neighborhoods that are cheaper – it’s no secret. However, there is something special about KGH that keeps us here. There is no reason to blame homeowners for buying houses here, thereby driving up the prices. If we hadn’t bought at those high prices, non-Jews would have bought these houses, and then what would become of our beloved KGH?

Dear Editor:

When I was in college, the Vietnam War was occupying the bulk of my emotional resources. Nixon was president, and he instituted a lottery system so that one would know the likelihood of being selected for the draft. My number was 65 out of 365 so it was either medical school or the front lines for me. I was pleased to have the medical school deferment and hoped to serve in a MASH unit once my training was completed. Fortunately, the war ended and the closest I came to a battle zone was the clinical training I received in Brooklyn during the AIDS crisis. That is, until this last year.
