With Real Estate agents selling out our own to foreigners, and 1/2 of TLV rentals becoming AirBNB's it's no wonder. TLV will be the city for the rich, and the tourists, while the rest of us will be in Rishon. What is sad, is that all the small business... will dry up with it.

I left LA to live in Israel in 1968. Rented an apt in Ramat Aviv. If I had $14k, could have bought an apt there, but did not have it. TA was cheap but very nice. no one had much, and car were very expensive (like today) . things have changed. Israel has shot up in the world, US hasn't....
