Israel Planning 50,000 Housing Units in Jerusalem
(Ha'aretz) Nir Hasson - Some 50,000 new housing units in Jerusalem neighborhoods are in various stages of planning and approval, Israeli planning officials say. The plans for some 20,000 apartments are already in advanced stages of approval and implementation. The housing shortage in Jerusalem has become more acute in recent years, especially in ultra-Orthodox areas. The West Bank construction freeze has increased the pressure to create more housing in Jerusalem.
