As they cannot afford this in Jaffa (except by means of illegal construction, which means demolition orders and loosing all) theywill start looking for other locations, perhaps moving out of Jaffa.<BR/>As it is very difficult for Arab people to buy or rent houses in Jewish areas, it often implies moving to Lod, Ramle or Um ElFahm, where many of the Jaffa families have relations.<BR/>Slowly but surely Ajami is turned into a place for the VERY wealthy. True, amongst those there are also a few Arab families, but they are a small minority. The poor as well as the middle class are moved out.<BR/>Some will say this is just "market economy" of the ugliest thatcherite kind. In reality there is un unequal struggle, in which the weakest are punished more than anyone else. The weakest being in Jaffa... you guessed it.yudithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694345940567222710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15659738.post-65936186737221053882007-03-04T07:32:00.000+02:002007-03-04T07:32:00.000+02:00Even if they do not work according to it, there ar...Even if they do not work according to it, there are rules of engagement for public housing companies.<BR/>Most ordinary people do not have the good friends or know the way but these rules under law will be available to all tenants.<BR/>The idea of a public housing company is to let the less fortunate live too in decent housing to a reasonable price, therefore these institutions have to work within the lines of these agreements, if not, they should like in your story have a problem.<BR/>By offering the money to the family they admit to be responsible.<BR/><BR/>By the way, how are things going on the cementary?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
