these housing developments don't necessarily follow SAFETY zoning laws that protect against fire, electrical, and/or structural damage. And the Hasidics don't welcome inspectors and threats of withholding certificates of occupancy. Also unplanned construction can have unintended consequences of traffic that doesn't flow.

I'm Jewish and it seems to me there are times to invoke antisemitism and then there are inappropriate times. Zoning is the latter.
