[RBS] Bet Shemesh Housing Protest Tents

[shalom lerner]

Tomorrow we are starting protest tents to subsidize the buying of apartments for young couples and Olim chadashim.  This is part of a nationwide protest (including Yesha) against high housing prices. 

In Bet Shemesh we have a unique problem that although there are 4,000 units being built, they all are designated for the Charedi sector.  Our protest will focus on two main points:-

1) Housing prices - young couples, army graduates, olim chadashim, should all get massive help in buying their first apartment (previously olim received a 90% subsidized loan)

2) 2,000 of the 4,000 units currently being built should go to the young couples, olim chadashim of the dati and general sector.

The protests will start tomorrow at 17.00 at the tayelet, near the amphi.   

This is a very major issue for all young couples as well as olim chadashim and it will have major impact on the future of the city.

Hope to see you all there
