Red line for over 20 years? (Photo: official website, -)
We are so busy with our own, and sometimes we forget that there is a world out there.
Our metro law, yes or no?
A red line in over 20 years?
And here we land with a boom on my voice in another planet called Tokyo, with over 2,000 subway lines, a station every 2 kilometers, and we ask with our mouths open: how the hell?
I have been in Japan for almost a week, together with a senior real estate delegation that came mainly to study. As part of our activity, we met with the architect Ofer Bilik, a resident of Tokyo, an urban planner who worked in the planning administration of the Tokyo government. Obviously, when you meet such a person, the first question you will be
asked She: How do you set up such a complicated network of metro stations? Well, we asked. And the answer is certainly surprising. Regarding the question of whether it could also operate in Israel - you be the judge.

So like this:
the competition is between a limited number of companies that have received huge radii for activity.
Their length is the distance between Tel Aviv and Haifa or Jerusalem.
The same companies, it turns out, also received the real estate rights above the metro lines.
Thus, it turns out that you are born in a hospital built by the metro company, attend the school built by the metro company, work for the company and progress throughout your life in one of the company's offices, shop in its supermarket or open a bank account Hers.
At the far ends, you vacation in her hotels, "and it is likely that you also met your wife in the work corridors of one of the offices she signed up for," says Bilic, adding that he was in work meetings as a representative of the municipality with the same companies for the development of entire areas.

And the bonanza - the mortgage from the same company where you are employed, where you took the loan and where your children are educated also reaches 110% on the apartment.
Now, take a few minutes to stare at all the metro lines (in the attached picture) and you will understand who or what you are dealing with.
Sometimes the lines meet and then the two metro companies start competing for the final consumer or cooperate with each other.
Can it happen with us in front of the expensive land values, which will be transferred to private companies?
You say.
Let's just mention that Israel Railways also has a real estate department, which for the past year has been planning projects around and above our train stations.
