We met Adv. Shraga Biran for a personal interview (the "Walla! Money" will be published tomorrow and on Friday in the "Business" issue of Maariv), but the things he told us on the eve of the publication of the index that shows another jump in housing prices in Israel should resonate with anyone who does not understand Why have Israeli governments for generations had a hard time dealing with the issue? Have a
hard time - or just do not want to? Here are some of the marriages we talked about with Adv. Biran, one of Israel's leading real
estate
experts
A story that there is no more land in the State of Israel, that the land has run out.
The Accountant General's report shows that 90% of the state's land is vacant. The State of Israel itself says that Rami is defined as a business enterprise and markets the state land in tenders at the highest possible price.
The meaning of the matter is that it strives to get the maximum in every transaction.
The price of the land reached NIS 1.5 million per apartment, which is a scandal. "
: "We are told that if we market more land, the price of the apartment has dropped and that is a lie. The more speculatively the price is sold - the price goes up, and this is what happens in practice. And this is what the state planning center needs to do. "
Homeless
: "The state does not take into account those who do not own an apartment. They belong to the 4-5 deciles who have no equity, 350,000 young couples, without a family to support them, living in rented apartments, some of them split, which interferes with family intimacy. We are a rich country , With an intangible wealth of $ 500,000 on average per citizen, there is land, there is money and it is a tragedy and wickedness of the government that does not take care of this population for an apartment.
180,000 are entitled to public housing living in all kinds of niches, giving 12,000 shekels a year for housing, a total of two billion shekels a year, instead of taking this wasted amount and building apartments for them. A total of 7,000 12-story buildings are needed, it's not heaven.
"Give me 30,000 dunams and I will be the head of a national mission and I will manage it, or someone else who is dedicated to the matter."

Apartment for NIS 600.00
Cost of living
: "The housing component of the cost of living in Israel is at least 50% and not as we are told it is 30%, that is a lie. It is impossible to rent a musty basement for less than NIS 3,000."
Reasonably priced apartments
: "According to our model, it is possible to sell 60-meter apartments for NIS 600,000. It is plagiarism to offer the homeless a long-term lease, because with this money they can finance a mortgage and live in their own apartment.
I raised this idea in the Economics Committee and chairman , MK Bitton, shouted at the Minister of Housing, Zeev Elkin, to adopt this plan. Mr. Elkin has established a committee in which I take part, with the strategist of the Ministry of Housing and RMI.
They say, "Yes, we're in favor of it, but ...".
Elkin knows the truth and he declares it.
Only the person in charge is the budget department of the State of Israel, according to which anything will be decided.
Lieberman must remember that those who do not deal with the housing crisis do not deal with the cost of living.
"
: We have filed a petition to the Supreme Court dealing with the rights of disadvantaged property owners in urban renewal projects.
They are subject to terrible pressures from entrepreneurs on the one hand and the government on the other.
The Arrangements Law approved a reduction in the percentage of consent in such projects and it sets a maximum ceiling for the consideration that the developer should give to the property owner in exchange for demolishing his house and building a tower from which he will get rich on his back.
"The" High Court of the Neighborhoods "that we submitted, seeks to turn the wheel back and give homeowners the right to protect their rights in property and land. To give the neighborhood residents an apartment the size of the condominium they had, it is theft and robbery. It should be disqualified because it violates property rights."
In the full interview, Biran tells of the incredible journey he made from the place where he escaped the murder of his entire family by the Nazis, the way of life with the partisans, the immigration to Israel - and the economic establishment without which, he said, could not worry the weak.
The interview with Adv. Shraga Biran - tomorrow at Walla!
