Samaria Head: Homes ‘R Us!
If political hamstringing ceases, Samaria can provide 35,000 units this year alone, says Regional Authority head.

Thirty-five thousand new housing units can be built in Samaria this year alone, according to research conducted by the Strategic Department of the Samaria Regional Authority.
Officials in the authority say homes not built in three years of a housing shortage in the coastal plain can be built in one year in Samaria alone.
The construction of 100,000 units in Samaria over three years “will cause many young people to prefer to move out of the crowded Tel Aviv / central area and rent an apartment 20-30 minutes away for 1,000-2,000 shekels,” they explained.
Samaria Regional Authority head Gershon Mesika presented Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Housing Minister Ariel Atias with a special plan Monday for solving the construction woes through massive construction in Samaria.
The research by Michael and Yehuda Fuah as well as the Samaria local authority shows that apartment prices rose nominally by 43 percent in 2008-2010, and rent went up 22 percent on average.
Mesika suggests duplicating the success of the city of Modiin, west of Jerusalem, in Samaria.
Israel meanwhile said it would issue tenders for 336 new homes in two communities in Judea and Samaria, a minimal beginning, a spokesman for the Israeli Ministry of Construction and Housing told AFP on Monday.
“We will very shortly issue tenders for the construction of 336 houses for Jews in Judea and Samaria” Ariel Rosenberg said. “In total, 294 homes are planned for Beitar-Illit, and 42 others in Karnei Shomron,” said Rosenberg.
Beitar Illit is south of Jerusalem, while Karnei Shomron lies 15 kilometers (nine miles) west of Shechem.
@yamit82 –
If the Jews in Yesh intend to remain there, they should consider alternative methods to those used in Gush Katif.
Crying and dancing with Siphrei Torah, which is something we do almost every Shabbat and in Simchat Torah, is something unlikely to stop the psychoptahs still waiting to do another “disengagement”.
The unJewish enemies must sense total JEOPARDY in a massive fashion. Otherwise the Jews in Yehudah & Shomron can start packing now.
I am sure the “”elites” will als offer “peckages” of compensation to those leaving. They will get as much as the folk from Gush Katif did and still does.
@yamit82 – not sure about that date- dec 12 just happens to be my birthdate- goddamit i am looking for a mayan, any mayan to confirm that date,- they are as scarce as g w bush supporter (not a bra)-. wonder where the flowers have gone?

Since we are discussing Fantasies, the Mayans have as good and scary a-one as you do.
How about Obama wins a second term? 🙂
Just like the wimpy Jews of Gush Katif who sat on their hands when it was clear to anyone living in the real world that they were going to get booted out and their life’s work destroyed. They believed in their corrupt leaders and rabbis. Most in Y&S will act no differently.
I as a single individual threatened openly that the first person entering my property or home would get a bullet in the head, did not stop the destruction of Yamit but it did for a moment give the government pause. Now if tens hundreds or thousands would do or say the same thing and are believable with the backing of many more thousands inside the Green Line, there would be no withdrawals. I would always keep the realistic threat of open civil war a realistic possibility and a price no government is willing to pay.
“The test of each individual is in the actions he takes, not the momentary success or apparent failure of the endeavor.”
Once again the true nature of the unJews comes into the open. Beinish of course.
How many times the liars, sabotaging, misleading trash has “PROMISED” re settlement “within the green line”?
The Pogromed against Jews of Gush Katif know all about the promises.
But that does not stop the said unJews from repeating the mantra.
There is no housing or so they say for some folk within the purported “green line”, but the Osloids still promise housing to the Jews in Yehudah and & Shomron if they just… Not only that but send their beasts to destroy JEWISH homes there.

September 21: Uncontrollable Rage takes over among the Arabs in Israel
October 21: American Christians get raptured.
November 21: “Rapture” and “Uncontrollable Rage” top the charts in the Israeli music world
December 21: Netanyahu and Obama jointly declare their continued commitment to the two-state solution
January 21, 2012: As a cost-cutting measure, all Israeli newspapers will simply recycle their January 21, 2011 issues with inked-over dates.
SHL,
It has been a very long time since I saw any substance of the usual Jewish national leadership tactic of waiting for enemies to destroy themselves while they stand aside and await moments of opportunity to sneak away with yet another small piece of cheese swiped from one or more of the enemies.
The Jewish nation should and must adopt a lucid and logical plan of aggression, conquest and expansion of the Jewish national homeland, accompanied by an parallel plan of action to carry out at a steady pace the expulsion of our Arab enemies from the soil that we take from them.
The larger the amount of territory that the Jewish nation takes from its Middle East enemies, the less will be their power to resist this long-term process, and the greater the power of the Jewish nation will become. “Power” as I define it simply means the capability of enforcing the national will of the Jewish nation against its enemies. I am not a hypocrite, and I have no concern whatsoever over questions of right, wrong, cruelty, mercy or the rest of the tired litanies of liberalism.
Nor do I even hate those people. I view them simple as temporary obstacles that should be removed from the path to power of the Jewish nation.
The faster the better that Barak, Livni, Peres and the rest of the liberal leftist carryovers in the power structure of the Jewish state, can be removed from the scene, either from death from old age or the ignominy of being dumped out of power by action of Am Yisrael in Medinat Yisrael at the state voting booths. I celebrate the demise of such people more so than the liberal leftist lives of cowardice that they led.

Here in Dimona there has not been a new building start since BB came into office. There is no shortage of land or demand. Housing prices here as well have gone through the roof, so have rents as a consequence. Seems to me for some reason BB wanted this induced real=estate bubble. Who benefits? Mostly speculators as most people when they sell move up to a more expensive house or apt.
@ArnoldHarris –
I am not quite so concerned about what will the unJews at any level do or not before the enemy acts.
The enemy will cause the needed “reaction” for them…
As soon as the rabble senses they can go into “rage” in September, they will and cross limits they did not suspect are there and should have never, ever crossed.
I have no idea who will be in control of our side by then, but I guess that Barak, Livni, Peres and other such will not longer be available…
It is about a 40 minute drive by a tank from Jerusalem to the Jordan.
We will be in control of all of Yehudah and Shomron.
SHL,
Despite what I wrote in my earlier comment on this thread, it is becoming clear that the Netanyahu Judenrat will not officially abrogate the Oslo agreements, irrespective of anything the PA does or does not do. These bastards — and I am not referring to the Arabs this time — have neither the guts nor the honesty to lead any nation whatsoever.
Instead of openly taking the land and boasting of it, they way the USA did when they were stealing the lands of the American Indians, their natural culturally-induced tendency is to act like sneak thieves, stealing and squeezing a little here, a little there, then apologizing every step of the way, looking around like a pack of rodents to see whether or not the housecats are nearby and paying attention to them nibbling their pieces of cheese.
Jew I am. Respecter of cowardly rats I am not. I hope in time that this sort of timidity bordering on outright cowardice will be scraped clean from the culture of Jews and from the personalities of nearly all Jews who wheedle their way into positions of power among the Jewish nation. That particular kind of Jew, I sincerely hope, will find brave deaths in combat in the wars yet to come against our hateful enemies. Hateful they may be, but at least they mostly are not characterized by culturally induced cowardice.

After witnessing the end of the so called “flotilla”, I have no doubts that September will yield for the islamics about the same results.
What it will be a positive result is that they and their associates at the “un” will void the Oslo Agreements.
Israel does not have to declare a thing. It must act as consequence to advance our interests swiftly and w/o further ado.
Plans are in place or almost completed.
In order to take and hold Shomron and Yehuda, Am Yisrael — hopefully with the cooperation and help of Medinat Yisrael — must build large numbers of Jewish homes all across the face of these two territories. Along with these are needed the Jewish commercial, indusrial and agricultural enterprises that render it possible for people to reside not too distant from their places of employment.
Once the political decision is taken, this is not at all difficult to achieve. There apparently are significant numbers of young married couples around Israel who would like to acquire homes in a less expensive part of the country, where are they still relatively close to Israel’s major urban areas.
One thing for certain that is needed in such a national project is high quality urban and regional planning of the kind I was exposed to in 1973-974 at the Hebrew University’s Department of City and Regional Planning, where I was studying on a one-year graduate fellowship. Israel has long been noted for its tradition of such planning. In any case, the land area in question is not at all great. Shomron is approximately no larger than Dane County, Wisconsin, in which my wife and I have lived for 35 years. And Yehuda, the southern “bulge”, is about the size of the Rock County, Wisconsin, which also is immediately to the south of us. It is not difficult to fill land areas such as these with unplanned urban sprawl. But far more preferable for future needs are intelligently-drafted regional development plans can make such urban development more suitable and useful in terms of local and regional roads and commuter transit, and services such as sewer and water supply, education, law enforcement, fire protection, emergency medical services, environmental protection and amenities such as local and regional libraries, and the kinds of local shops such as fast-food restaurants and coffee shops that Israelis seem to like.
It seems to me that the administrative problems in getting all this accomplished are largely due to one Israeli government after another dragging their feet in reluctance to take permanent control of the the two parts of Eretz-Yisrael that even in ancient times were the heartland of the home of the Jewish nation.
Are there enemy Arabs living there? Yes. But so what? Build around them. When the Palestine Authority is broken up — and the end of the Oslo Agreement by either side will accomplish precisely that — then Israel can re-occupy the whole of the two districts, reserving local autonomy negotiated with the local Arab leaderships on a city by city basis in Jenin, Ramallah, Jericho, Tulkarem, Kalkilya, Shchem, Beit-Lechem and Hevron — around all of which, Jewish suburbs can and will be built. Elsewhere in the two districts, Israel can do its large-scale planned residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural and parklands development. Where the local Arabs refuse to sell land for these purposes, eminent domain can be used for land acquisition at fair prices, the same as is done all across the United States. The relatively large amounts of money that some scores of thousands of Arab families will receive will be enough to get those families settled in almost any other country, some across the world from Israel.
I think settlement of all Eretz-Yisrael is and always has been an achievable destiny of Am-Yehudi. And I think the time is now.

Perfect. If the purported “crisis” is not political, then moving to Yehudah & Shomron is the logical solution.
Lets wait and see… Do not hold your breath though.
The Beinish today could not help it and insolently piped that building in Migron is not a solution to the “housing crisis”… You make your conclusions about the real origins of the “housing crisis”.
Good idea.
