Is Israel on the Brink of a Suburban Sprawl-a-Thon?
That’s the title of a Blog Post by Daniella Cheslow on the Green Prophet Blog today.
Daniella’s blog post speaks about Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s economic plan which includes privatizing the Israel Lands Administration. Netanyahu was quoted as saying “it will end the dependence on inefficient and burdensome bureaucratic mechanisms,” and also “reduce the price of land and, correspondingly, the prices of apartments, putting them within the price range of young couples and newly discharged soldiers.”
Cheslow goes on to speculate that privatizing the ILA will trigger a suburbanization free-for-all.
Obviously privatizing the ILA would have enormous impact on the country in many ways. We would like to hear some of your comments about the issue.
