True, except for proximity to NYC and area

Similar to Baltimore or Chicago.
It's a more accepting vibe, where externals literally are irrelevant and the various umbrellas are very wide
Passaic does have the additional "intown" benefit of being in NJ so the legal resources, the political resources are there, way more than Baltimore or Chicago.
Also the physical proximity to Monsey
That's not a good or bad thing.
Just fact |
I think of Passaic the same way. We have some family there and were there for simchas multiple times, same with Chicago, Baltimore, Cleveland and Detroit. They all have an OOT vibe. It's not just the numbers, which will correlate to the numbers of schools, stores, restaurants but it's the general vibe. Like the stores are quieter, streets quiet down earlier, less traffic and honking, People drive more rather than walking everywhere- a bit of a slower, calmer pace than Lakewood, Brooklyn or even Monsey.
And the diversity- the Lakewood type and the ones walking their dogs lol.
People make choices on where to live based on the vibe they want to raise their families with. No place is perfect.

And who decides what in or out of town is.
Such complete silliness really. |
See... I always thought out of town was any town I didn't live in.. so Monsey, Lakewood, Brooklyn were all out of town for me since I don't live there.

I’m from Passaic and moved to Lakewood when I got married about 5 years ago. I definitely consider Passaic out of town. But I guess it depends what your frame of reference is, like are you comparing to Minneapolis/Houston/Denver/small communities? It’s definitely not anything like Brooklyn/Lakewood/Monsey or even Toronto/LA

Nope my point was when I was telling family members that I am thinking of moving out of town they recommended passaic but in my mind I don’t think Passaic has the qualifications that a true out of town community has. To me it is way to similar to Lakewood, yes definitely not as big but still not oot so I wanted to hear others opinions

Yeah I'm in my forties and have never been to Lakewood. Why would I? I dont have family living there. There are enough jewish stores in my own OOT city, why travel for shopping? People think Im totally crazy when they hear I've never been there. I am sure there are others out there like me who have never been to Lakewood!

Externals are irrelevant there? Sure didn’t feel that way when I was growing up there. But hey, maybe things chilled out.
