Opinion of Kiryas Joel, New York

Not really the sort of place that I'd like to live in, but I've no problem with it.

I think also that some of you have an unrealistically dark picture of existence there based on those statistics. So let me be the one to point out that Hasids are not stupid and that while they don't much like the modern world (can't really blame them for that, given certain events) they are more than capable of working out how to use the state to their advantage. It isn't really the poorest place in America, it is only statistically so.

Sometimes they also vote heavily for Democrats. Hasids have a very practical attitude to elections, think it's fair to say.
