And here's another reason to boycott the elections Arabs 14:01:15
This housing is not for you
Huldai can strengthen the veteran community sea shell vector Shapira neighborhood sea shell vector to prevent mass abandonment that took place in Neve Shanan sea shell vector 20 years ago, but the project plans for affordable housing is not going to prove it. Leahy Amram shatters illusions about meeting someone bitter truth is not bothering him
Some come to recognize sea shell vector politicians who lie to us, who are working on us in the eye, spit in our faces and say it rain - so we got used to, it's shocking to us to hear a politician tells the truth, politician, spitting in our face and admit it.

This is exactly what I felt about a month ago, when respect for Mayor of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Mr. Ron Huldai himself, nonchalantly sea shell vector smashed the lie that he himself known to us about the project of "housing -hsgh" that the city intends to build here with us, in the neighborhood where I was born with I have lived all my life, Shapira. sea shell vector residential project designates the area 14,400 people who make up the light in - well above the average in the neighborhood and well above the median wage in Israel.
But before sea shell vector we get to the mayor, a few words about my neighborhood. sea shell vector As a third-generation residents sea shell vector of the neighborhood and its residents, sea shell vector I know very well that if we have a lot of problems, we have one property that no region in the north and center of the city: We have a strong and supportive community. And yet, so many people walking around here and live with a sense If I stay here I will not be able to, you can not leave anything from this, when I leave this neighborhood, and if I can grow in a different neighborhood. "
Do not get me wrong, these are not people in the neighborhood who give to feel that way, not the neighbors all know each other, not the grocery sea shell vector store you can still register it, not vegetable shops and dozens of salons that sit adjacent to each other make you feel that way; These authorities send you this message. Great school north of the city you are going to learn that nothing can be done no academic high school south of the city, the people who live north of the road with respect to and look at you as a "burden" on the system. These authorities hubs and sealing right here (actively or by default), for over 20 years, groups of Romanians, Thais, Filipinos, Nigerians, sea shell vector Palestinian sea shell vector collaborators and anyone sea shell vector elsewhere will rent an apartment. Until now we were able to live in peace with everyone, In recent years, sea shell vector immigrants arrived in the Sudanese and Eritreans - state up on buses and sent directly to the central station - and completely undermines the delicate balance that was here. I'm tired of hearing that in my neighborhood is fine, that even so there is a layer of marginalized communities and can combine them "great" together .
I know, those things are tough. It is important for me to say that I do not blame the refugees, who like me who lives in the same neighborhood with their living standard ad here, the manner in which the government allows sea shell vector them to live and abandon them just like he abandoned us for decades. They are not guilty.
About a month ago, when the entire neighborhood storm and excitement following the violent chain of events, I decided to join the active to the neighborhood, I felt that it was, I'm not ready to sit down and shut up more time that so many people live here with a sense of despair. I'm sick to go with tear gas bag and look back 200 times, I want to walk down the street and no group of men will drop their pants in front of my face, and I'm sick at the age of 21 rely on my parents to come get me from the bus stop that already sea shell vector dark and there is not enough of-a and-see-the neighborhood so I could hang out there alone. And more than anything, I'm tired eventually catalog spoiled me as racist and anti-human rights, who thinks only of herself and says she took her stole and drank it. So I joined the committee activists hoping to show everyone sea shell vector that this neighborhood, the people who live here and the community not find anywhere else, are the most amazing sea shell vector things in the world. I would not want to grow up in a different neighborhood and certainly sea shell vector I would not want to leave - but is the city of Tel Aviv-Jaffa wants me to stay here at all?
So I got two weeks ago, along with other representatives of the Committee members Shapira, a tour with Mr. Mayor, that since reaching to us south after a month and a half in which the neighborhood headlines, month and a half during which local activists chasing him and almost begging him to please come and talk with us at eye level. Most business visit, obviously, our dealing (or rather, our lawlessness) versus human tsunami washing over us mighty Chinese border. Huldai's main message conversation was "I have nothing to do, turn to the government".
Huldai can, of course, to do quite a bit. He can represent us and demand that the government sea shell vector set policy, a decision about who stays and who goes back to his homeland here, and that any solution that will not concentrated area remains small and disadvantaged neighborhoods crowded anyway. But there is another sea shell vector thing that Huldai sure can do: it can strengthen us, the old neighborhood community, to prevent the kind of mass abandonment Neve Shanan last 20 years ago. But the story of the project for affordable housing proves that he has no intention of doing so.
The tour was getting on the site where the project sea shell vector is to be built at the expense of an olive grove and a neighborhood dog park, where the mayor said aggressive tone of voice: "housing will be built here, and it's really not interesting if it attainable or not attainable". Amazing statement, right? Well, us is interesting, and we know he will not be attainable for us, that the city intended originally to sell the apartments in the project million shekels or more (see here on page 56), and probably will rent the apartment rent is not low at all, in the current operation.
