Tampa is a decent sized city. You don't need one rabbi's permission to live there

Actually doesn’t sound too decent sized… ten families and on rav! You better be able to get along with the one rav when it’s so small..

The city itself is decent sized, but the community isn’t. I agree that if you want to rely on their infrastructure , you need to get along with the few people living there.

Yes, I will tell you exactly what happened because if even one person is saved from our experience all our pain will be worth it. My husband and I were desperate to leave the tristate and we were Ehrlich and naive. We met the Taussigs then in their home in BP and they told us all about Tampa and we were ready to move. We paid them 5k on the spot as he said in order to know who is serious he needs a downpayment. He is VERY charismatic and convinced us so we paid. He told us no worries as we will get it right back and it'll go towards our house. Then when it came to purchasing the home he asked us to give the rest of our downpayment to him as well and he will cosign for us and the home will be ours. We never bought a home before and we were truly stupid and naive and forwarded him another 50k. I'm shaking as I write this. It was really painful to lose that much hard-earned money! To make a long story short, when we asked a couple of weeks later about the house and closing and he was pushing us off and making up excuses, we realized something was off. We called the builder directly and they never got any money from us nor was there even a house under our name and they aren't even building houses at the end since the Rabbi couldn't get enough people to sign up. We started to frantically call the Rabbi and when he saw we were onto him he yelled at us and then blocked our numbers. And then people started coming out of the woodwork and told us horror stories of how they were ripped off their money. I am saying this l'toeles. I B"H got my money all back because my uncle is a lawyer and we were told by the bais din that he stole many times from innocent people and does not listen to bais din so we can take him directly to court. We were specifically told to tell anyone who may contact them NOT TO GIVE THEM A PENNY OR TRUST THEM. They were forced out of Brooklyn by askanim and rabbanim for obvious reasons. Call The Bais Ha'avaad in Lakewood and they will repeat my story and verify it. Most bais dins in NY are familiar with them as well as he has been taken to din Torah numerous times. STAY AWAY from them!!!!

I'm getting so scared of these stories that I feel like I want to stay in the tri-state area, even though prices are outrageous. So, we won't buy a house. We can rent all our life. But I'd rather be surrounded by honest, good people and live in a rented apartment than have my own house but be surrounded by falsehood. I'm an honest person by nature, perhaps honest to a fault, so I'm not taking a chance with that.

I’m crying for you 
I can imagine how hard that must have been putting down all your hard earned money and then have to fight for it back and all that agmas nefesh for nothing …..
Thank you for saving the rest of us!

Yes, I was literally furious when I saw how majestic and beautiful they made the community seem to be. I called u the owner and was literally crying to him telling him it's so unfair to blindside people this way and lure them in to buy in a place where ganavim live. I just want people to know how careful I am with how I generally speak about people but you have to understand that the gehenim I went through with the Taussigs is so so painful and many many people have gone through it so they are the only people that can be spoken of that way. The owner of the Ami told me he doesn't care what the real story is, he writes what he gets paid to write and what will sell. There was nothing I can do. I keep trying to let people know and be aware that there are very frum and fine-looking con artists out there and don't just read about things in magazines and believe it!!

There's Hillel Academy - a day school and Hebrew Academy - run by chabad. There is is Young Israel shul and 2 chabad centers. The community is decent sized enough to support 2 schools and multiple shuls. I'll bet the people around those places whom one would need to rely on for infrastructure are a lot more welcoming than a chassidish guy who is requiring applications and approvals to live in his little fiefdom.

You're talking about a new start up WITHIN a city that already has some jewish infrastructure. There are shuls, schools, and a rav or three there. It's just not Brooklyn chassidish, which is the beauty of out of town - all types can live together, go to school together, go to shul together and get along.
