As a person who has often debated the idea of making aliyah (moving to israel permenantly, as in one way plane ticket) the what ifs have often kept me grounded here in Indiana. One of the biggest what if, is actually a where if, ok that doesn’t make sense. But as I have no family, or close friends or close friends of family in Israel, the question of where i would live has often hit me like a freight train.
Apperantly I am not the only one with concerns, thousands and thousands of Israelis turned out to protest the high cost of living. Good for them! But short of Cuban style manidated housing swaps I don’t know how it is going to be fixed..dang private property rears its ugly head again. Marx is someqwhere saying I told ya so..
So here are the options I see
1. Roommates, lots of roommates. Sure that walk in closet is a bedroom!
2. Move to the Neghev, cause as far as I saw it was pretty dang empty. And having a water source is overated!
3. Countinue carrying signs and screaming in the streets, it does usually work eventually. Just figure out what your exit strategy is.
