Major Israeli cities are experiencing negative migration, with Tel Aviv losing 22,000 residents and Jerusalem seeing a deficit of 88,000, according to Amit Gottlieb, Chairman of the Contractors Association for the Tel Aviv District. Gottlieb stated this at a conference in Eilat, noting that while urban renewal projects aim to expand cities, large urban centers are paradoxically losing inhabitants. He also mentioned that Netanya, Beersheba, and Bat Yam are facing similar negative migration balances.
Yaki Reisner, owner of Reisdor, commented on the state's role in housing development, asserting that the government could achieve in three months what the company "Dirah Le'Hashkir" has not accomplished in ten years.
