Smart move from Israel this sent a powerful message to washington!!

Build baby build!!!!!
In the eyes of the world, practically all building in Israel is in “contentious” neighborhoods — remember the uproar over building in Ramat Shlomo???
This is nice, but how about approving 15,000 instead of 1,500? There is a HUGE housing shortage in Israel, and prices are soaring. (The government just put in place more restrictions on getting a mortgage to try to push down prices — you must now put a down payment of 30 — 40%!! — when the real solution is to build more!)
