The City Engineer of Modi'in said in an interview on HaAretz that his town is low-density and is not giving more building permits. No one I know of said it so succinctly. This policy may have been the real reason for my hitting a wall in Ramat Gan. Simply, they are against development. They are used to the current situation, they do not want to be bigger or richer or cosmopolitan. Having grown up in a Socialist regime based on Marx's Capital, where the State proclaimed its achievements in steel production growth, fantastic agricultural yields, and more houses built for the workers, I cannot yet believe that somebody is against the GNP.
But they are.
