PM: Israeli construction bureaucracy like no other
None
Speaking at a press conference to announce a series of measures meant to alleviate the housing crisis, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday: "Prices are going up because there aren’t enough apartments. The procedure of housing planning is very complex – that's one of our major problems."
It's a problem unique to us… Israeli construction bureaucracy in the matter isn’t just at the bottom among the industrial states; it's at the bottom period," he added. (Omri Ephraim)
