Just once known as the bride of the sea was one of the major port cities in the middle east until the 1948 pound state of war and its aftermath. The city fell into a state of neglect with high rates of crime, poverty, and garbage. The in the last decade, johnson has become a popular destination with real estate, investors, and tourists from all over the world. The former flea market is now bustling with organic shops, high end galleries, and design or stores. Yet the changes are also violently affecting the people who have been living in java for decades. The are Real Estate Developers and authorities aware of their responsibilities and know how their actions affect jobs as residents. The yeah for the job is it kind of zombie city in either c method . Its only half a live. However, its assessed at the cities alive and vibrant facade is hiding an underlying urban sick. Many obama certificates of gentrification is a process where poor social classes within an urban area are swapped out from like a centrally located under privileged neighborhood becomes branded as a wealthy. Your neighborhood because were not, you know, cutting a kind of wealthier population moves in the neighborhood, gradually changes its appearance and transforms it into a better neighborhood to suddenly everything shiny and white and nobody understands what has happened to some of which i keep round. This happens everywhere in the very capitalist Mountain West and want in a state starts with a few yuppies young urban professionals and grows into a steady flow. So that at least inside this suddenly establishment up there is a bottom deal up on the price of a flat in java has increased 10. 00 fold 10 times as much. You cant ignore that because it affects everything because it was clear on april both an issue of class, which you find everywhere in the world and a political dimension thats unique to joshua, its about narratives against jews and just ask analogy versus sephardic rich against the for the putting my name is it um im 26 and im from jocelyn. I was born in joshua and i wanna stay in joshua, certainly. Sure. Of i father with the kind of person you cant live with. If suddenly my mother decided after the child together and i thought she didnt want to go on like that or shes after my father went to jail and, and i had to take care of the family show. But as wants to go to, i was in 4th grade at the time is a, i think you know, that the course i had to do without something that outcome was, but it was worth it in the, in the subject that i have the most beautiful family in the world, thats my family, quoted me, specific. Kind of the machine on the machine. Well, im about to say i will be 31. Hello listen. Im, im, im, im, im more away and then lets go to shut off and try to visit us. So we for this one and didnt even find some channels that allow me to also see if theres been a way i could send home visit or had the closet door to the door saying for good news about a shuttle that it was all. Im just interested was the so and ive been looking for something to shake it and we also have done if she could have sent a check on him. A shot i shouldnt say enough shaking. Huh. I sent that to us as hell and to find another she, ill check and ill shoot it. So somebody over here which she knows. Yeah. And i will then like, hello hey, this is the color of the fish for you should be i shouldnt that joe was it was a joe was in color here and just going to live. So come to the lady like a city. Just want to handle that alone at the moment. You sort of initial set them on the, on the coming, you know, which is the full quote coalition of the state looks at junk. Like any other real estate chart does. I think she has a deal. She co, it sees its huge potential in terms of construction Land Buildings worth millions of shackles, and it sees the tenants as an obstacle in obtaining this diamond the most r yahoo, almost a. Its not that all of a sudden theyre suddenly surprisingly 500. 00 eviction orders. Demolition orders. 500 families has been told your house is going to be demolished. Thats not sudden the city and the government has a responsibility in the or 6 out via your even official institutions like the Israel Land Authority one to take part in this party and turn a profit from you guys. Which is gentrification means the expropriation of the people who have been living here for many years as a got a little bit more time. The hope of the schmuck you to buy the again of the day of the much the tenant protection law. Sounds like its there to protect the tenants, but it doesnt to share more knuckles. It actually insures that the rights granted to the tenants terminate has quickly as possible and revert back to the owner. And what a bad thing in the mail should call that means that anyone who resides in these apartments today because their grandparents were protected, tenants will be evicted well, sooner or later. And in so long as the law doesnt change one or the whole pollution. Because this will eventually these issues go back to 1948 a little bit, but they will never discussed at the time involved payments more out of the full and for the war about 70000 people lived in java. It was a crowded in 500. 00 city. The sho get gets higher. Yeah, for java with its point one to full comp, trash and kind of phase one. Its food and its poetry. It was the crammed at a crumb of the middle east. Harlem to come on after the war. About 3500. 00 residents remained in java, meaning 95 percent of the city disappeared overnight. The 9 the 9 the they were fears that the event in buildings might be reclaimed. Well, weve got the current state appointed an administrator to manage the property in the Public Interest and went on to what types of board to push of within weeks. People were pouring into the Vacant Department was calling for the shame immigrants mainly from bulgaria, but also from the balkans and north africa. Simply move in sooner, but people will come in. I mean, the state Housing Company began organizing the rentals. They went door to door and registered every family, smoke down and you know, i see the cottage thoughtfully blemish. The state imposed the military regime and decided to gather all the arrows into a single ghetto, around miss odd to me and said to them, we treat you so nicely to come monday. Besides that, as a state, were allowing you to occupied any house you want within this get a little how good or is it a medium box cover items . By a few months later, the state officials knocked on their doors and introduced themselves as representatives of the new owners. Im not the same as old owners, we will sign an agreement with you according to which you are. Our protective tenant will be the name and ask me to my name is to con hon the fema. And when i was born and the job a li, a neighborhood that page of aliya video, the day off to my mother died. I got a call from the state Housing Company, they said you needed to give us the key. Thats and theres nothing i can do when i go. So when we, when auto spot of shania, what are the, this is the, theres the substantially the 50 im contributing to it is this one is also the m. Uh, when does, couldnt give on the ship for 51. If it was just going home then sasha, and have been fighters on friday. Yeah, the fish was the headset. You do a lot better to shipment is unfamiliar with them. She and as one of the me with that with the with stuck inside of them. The mother was just about a let me say between are trying to do the last said i should do it on and i do it on while i look good. I have, i dont have it done. I had the okay. The hold on the yeah. Thanks. Then im how me, yes, we go to lawyer. I dont even know what her from the beginning. He said theres no chance we stay here one or 2 of the to continue postponing the trial until the children grow. Not with them then, then evict you mean smith and little. The sun is up and then i heard about people who didnt get home the she says, so he told me my case is different because well see people live on the street. How can i, for the renters, i make 5000 shekels, get as it always needs what day and nights makes 6500 and check that its how many of us in the middle in yeah, perfectly or just that is becoming a super expensive option. There is no way left to live in java for the the after left, not least i have. So what does java offered me the chance to immersed myself in the time united chick woody . Its funny how it all places. John. So it was more cosmopolitan than television. Which was very homogenous, actually there was a great richness and the sound of the church bells and the museums are going to see. All of them was in the then in the 19 eighties and the Israel Land Authority put up a pile of rubble for sale. And that was in the rest is history are these 3. So you can easy to buy things. I bought the house from the law, but i had to vacate the tenants that were living there and all that. They bought 3 apartments for themselves and their children. So it was a choice, and they were happy that they could finally leave this place, which was corrupted by the sea. And the wind was, its not that kind of a change of occasion where people are suddenly kicked out of their homes because some rich guy wants to live there. Its not gentrification, its the free market. Well see. And cuz there is no such thing as Market Forces as population management. Market mechanisms only work well for rich white men shooting down. But this isnt a man by top of the an arab house is a dream come true for every upstanding voice. Why did you somebody, it represents a fantasy and sometimes i think through my buildings, ive become a brand with doug a yes. If youre on my buildings, this is the oral project with all the greek market is a project that hasnt launched yet. Were working on it, were keeping the beautiful basic structures on the ground floor of the greek market and building apartments on top and the tools of called authenticity has become an economic value. So people travel to jump thought to consume oriented lism without everetts. It is an oriental of them on display warehouses, delivers the flavor, then i gave it to me. Ya full, but im up on a cultural level. John, so it provides the experience of being in a space that is inherently arabic without paying any price in terms of loss of privileges or exclusion portion of the alcohol. The false is working to push out the week of population on the outskirts of the city are enormous. Its not just policies from within the municipality. The National Phone says i need a logical, full sized foreign process. The gentrification here is going to like to bed the did or the not sure if it all the 5th or sunny colors discuss the shovel hosting solution. I look at those that are in the little sense. Okay. Those are the kinds, obviously them come photos, interesting items and they want to buy that from the ones that hardship can shut. So its any kind of the, you know, i am the, the, you know, is that about the height of the size of life as long as you understand with the feel. Okay. And with the delivery typically lets see what the state to say minneapolis the gosh, a lot of the minimal type stuff. A lot about the phone advice. Is that the when it comes to the goals of oh, is there any words . It was almost a couple of years before i get on the line with us on site. Okay. Covers golf on. I see most people who come to drop i dont want to see java as it is. Yes. Well, they want just the way they want to see it. So they want to kick out the air of neighbor with the noisy house because he has 6 kids. I guess what then why did you move in next door . The subject to forgot to exhibit for the 1st sign of ginger vacation is a hipster cafe. Then your here, but this is a community project. Everyones invited. Its not just for us. We dont have a problem with the night is coming to us and i want to give you a voters. Gentrification comes with the mocking. She knows all tags. We sewing milk, the people in the garbage when stopped looking nicely. They installed the phone lines to keep people from talking on the sidewalks. They open to kindergarten and co operative. They bring all kinds of new equipment into the box. So if youre in shock, these pock used to be full of garbage. All of a sudden its clean and then accept patrol una its dons coming at night of default to use of asking the boss scientists of the neighborhood without success. All of a sudden the past passes through penalty. Pays me a nice, they used to be a population that nobody wanted to give any of these things to fulfill the model the all intentionally in the class, which is a few pill counts of rubbish in the pocket. So you whitewash things a lot. Ill say i dont want to whitewash anything thats been kind of cheap. The in the sixties and seventies john felt, was systematically destroyed in friendship that there was a deliberate plan to modernize. Some of the plans brought about the demolition of 50 percent of the army neighborhood and 70 percent of the old city. The mon, she a neighborhood was completely destroyed. Eh, hello, splitting the all of a sudden theyre send everywhere. Empty plots as far as the i can see. Wasnt there anything here before . They told me today, what about the medina machine . Coronel, there are plenty out of the shop, and ill give you a full clean, but im at the made up con. They couldnt even get a theme. They got to deal with them cause they dont know how they felt funny. The items as opposed to the instructor, was pulling a plot. There was nothing you saw so late running through the streets. Children with Walking Around barefooted fremont problems covered in plywood to fit that live during that time, johnson became an impoverished area and the Jewish Population gradually left the job out on the on for the taking a look at my a childhood. As i ask myself, what happened there and the value, there was a lot of violence within public spaces about a lot of unpleasant experiences. I am always very common for us to walk down the street and see lots of junky. So come on. I mean, sometimes they were family or friends in a lots of mobile, youll have them out for a little bit of a 115 does so he almost died. Yeah, for november, the fish on which when he leticia much f while is a job that has become nice like human experiment. The most important palestinian city was turned into a slump of tel aviv the slums of the be the payments gonna be able to identify political activism. It since my early 201726 i was elected to the muslim counsel as americans. I became very involved there. I asked myself, is that to me on what do i want to tell the people of jeff . I was the school bus and it started with our slogan, the off of shipping, which means my job. Again, the is our. Thats my message to the error, people in just the whole team that we want to have a single team. Again, we want to be involved in the planning of the city and we want to shape its public space of stuff on the hub. The fan divided by the dont know if its of the noise, it gets it under the measurement of one of the thoughts i was going to ask that is near the month enough enough about that as im going up, i furnished the in the im a lot with the cost here, a lot of the problems with others is that theres still a lot of them on i sign in the bunk. Yeah, big must spend stomach stream on the instructions. Im the how may i ask, who is the name on the media, and does it mean that a lot of, i mean, if im saying its almost me its, i would say again of the most comfortable almost any kind of sleep. Now let me just let the muslims, the christian and the arabs in general have nowhere to go over that if they cant leave and move to a bunch of them because nobody wants them there. They need a mosque, but they are not allowed to build them. There, nor will one be billed for them, not in but young cannot ignore and hold on or other issue. And lets see on the same goes for churches to close at the venture. Look sure, thats like they want to send their children to an after school and kindergarten of their language and culture of their like a phone that doesnt exist anywhere else, not today and not tomorrow, like im really done. Last technician, look on the list for the waiting list. So theres a lot of them, low sodium, lots of muscle, public name. They must have done most of the, of the, most of the, all the, most of the, of us on the other business, the other ship fee. Ive done that instead of them on the stands, you the gun end of the best at the terminal on it. Then it comes with the the, with the sale. I mean some people in the silva, i opened up the, me, the dinner almost. Heres the front of some of us when i go through, sometimes i get to the bullet example most of the one lamb. Theres the one left impulse built into the me could i should see out at the very top the on monday of its going to the one, but im just, uh, double check on the pool. Okay, now to frontier its in front of me. Its really not the business. Im just wondering if the month of the month im shipping to the bank and to share the same. Im with them with 10 large of the dimensions solution for over 20 years. It was impossible to make any renovations or build anything. And job loom day off something. But what ive seen websites, there was no plan until the early 1990 is what this meant. The fast growing families could not legally expand at home. Lets see if the this is, but the families were forced to take over the empty houses, old rooms, next door, subdivisions that came to let them have your me, per se. Because we need to remember that behind these houses, there are of families with p policy difficult situation that gave it to me. So i night sold that as room to take these things into consideration. But that was the last quote, but im just going to send the same name as the limit im already collected. Smitley will mostly holla, this. Why is why of one of them said i didnt said i know then all the yeah. With how so and then its like along the way, so let me get to the other sort of september. I mean, my guy tell a gun, new my the whole its about all get off of high, but say thats what i know. So im gonna talk to the commissioner hooked the whole surface on collaborative show me on their minds a gun. Sure. What kind of as im not to you, i dont know what causes them, charlie bush valves. The simple guess about some hard function for him can use a long name before. I mean the name you flush of the us, click on the name to that. I dont wait taylor these companies now getting but so im assuming besides this list of some of them will put in the account and i said no, can i talk to . So they misquote me a more of a my, a fully get old boss getting his asked what i need to then. Yeah, go. So let me come with the code beside the math latasha. Youve been loyal and fully awful that ill show you the most say i look to perform most today i live at the most of the last stuff. So they say its silver. Why . So for that, and then while you guys, excuse me, i told him shot to minutes and function cushion or small as means somebody under the sun shirt monkish him and loves the push out the clothes. This is out in the shop list if shut it off. Loving me some muscle in myself for vending as death in a box as the small front to my ass off some of these t as fast as moving uh the site does look like a shop. So to learn, augusta for looks like the ocean was the cause of the marshal boat to mutually be stuck with the sun. Me wish it isnt discussed anywhere to be sure to the best of all. Can we gotta extension of, you know, think of something thats not something i can shut off the shuttle show that the okay might be of thats is that coastal to allow. Lets say i dont think im gonna call me, i might have a whole list of, of the alpha, the muscle of the mind moment sequentially. Gotcha. Simple. Second, its required and its a close of a meeting. So i actually get a little, blah, blah, blah, blah. I tell him i can bet some kind of come out by uh see if hell be with you months, months, months here it goes so much. Im a live should exemption. Its janine and thats the whole c uh on the shock of the car as a show we have to deal with some similar advisor. Im. Ive been a lot of my club and the number of enough to me and well get ahead. So the law from the hopefully you can call to the middle of a hotel. You imagine a young man who wants to get married. They make a living in a small apartment here, costs 1. 8 to 2000000. Shackled on, how could he get that much money to him . Whats up should the person is forced to find a solution on his . The immediate solution is criminal activity. People who are looking to imagine jop as real estate problem, were solving. Well that would reduce the tension here by 50 percent. Got the long term its been going come since need. And what am i going to be as a little bit a little bit, a definitive in theres many of a homeless i close enough. And because of the bill that image meant and any be the image mean in the, in the, the in come a mission and theyve been doing and will do i something behind michigan and why then what was your call . May have to be able to measure to validate how they and the vision and what to do better the the, the issue issue is the b, b wouldnt be an emotional fee in cloud been that have been a little above the, ill come on. The issue is any of the be an issue and no one is there. Lets just say the genetic, hey one little clubs, 9 percent of the millions, and im using the that is known as needed. Heres whats going on on the run and the of us how the amended that the competitive amendments showing that the how theyve shut about it and then and that the company. Well, how does that would be . The issue like given him is going to be on was also its important for the young people to see role models to, to see an error of man who isnt afraid, who cares about the error population and says, i want to be involved in everything related to education, everything related to how the city is built and the public space, some of them the issue of violence. Yes, i remove the its about giving people both in the me and session with that in the mid 19 eighties, joslet came back into fashion. It was rediscovered and then seized by telling me a job that Planning Team was established which led to this process of gentrification would even have to be a cage and difficult to build on that. Um do you remember these building wonderful do you know . Well, this is called the one very good. This building was abandoned and its moments before they demolished it. Right. They understand the other bills, maam. That was a long time ago. 19941985, Something Like that . Yes, i see for sure im i see for the City Engineer all day long as he invited sergio and meet to his office. There was a big map of tel aviv traffic behind him some course, and he put his hand at the bottom without even looking where it was and said, i need to do Something Like this area. You have someone to plan and look at this and get to work. Thats how the job for team was established. Totally anonymous sounding over time. We found plans to clear out as you me it on the 9 to pretend that it is it designed to clear the local, our population out of here before and to build what was known back then. As luxury residences in which a high rise is like in northern tennessee and most of these, so they were pursuing to agendas, making a lot of money from real estate and driving out the local population. The certainly got to the odds and when i arrived in jamie, i fell madly in love with this place and i love these buildings and the way that we were desperate to scrap the plan in order to present as you me the jimmy. Okay. We open found ourselves standing in front of bulldozers to stop them. So the modem of the dont tell me that the very idea that way here is municipality representative isnt good news for the air. In the notation, the old plans we encountered said demolishing and the plans we created said stop, preserve the existing building, several minutes and level. Actually, we dont increase the initially i mention you, the truth is i didnt believe wed be able to bring people to add them and the people were cleaning the area and looking down on the cool guy we said to ourselves, its not so bad if a new Jewish Population moves him, they would always be co existence with them and things will always be good tools. The after 44 years, the city passes a master plan that says were going to preserve the atmosphere. The village, like quality in homes, can be no more than 4 stories. There was this sense that this was gonna bring a beautiful greek village spilling down to the sea and preserve everybodys quality of life. A split inside. What happens when you can only build 4 stories and in front of you is a brand new, beautiful park. Those houses are unbelievably expensive and the value of the land, the for the moment for me and let them off. I mean, on the other hand, they have the tenant who lives there who pays around 100. 00 chuckles a month and rent a fast expensive property, and the tenants hardly pay anything. Cool as the state can maximize profits, then why not with the law. Somebody whos rolando authority expect for property is to be maintained, and so the state Housing Company needs to finance all of it and it needs to continue sending properties so it can go on existing them if you want, okay to bank, you have to make x number of loans a day. Yeah, you have to carry out x number of evictions, x number of collections, you know, x number of legal proceedings. And you need to meet these goals. And employee meets the goals, or even suppose system receives premiums for this account spending work. And thats how it was showing. The shame should go in. But the, when people who live in an apartment are sold along with the apartment, it doesnt matter who ultimately initiate the transfer on sale as own. So the ones paying the price are the residents of java. And its usually the arrow president limits on me to see if i can push obviously with the cause of the most of what matters is how we handle it initially. But dont want us to accept the fact that were evict auction and let the Jewish Population decide whether we are victims or not. You did in the bundle the why should i let the other side decide for me, the municipality is very big and not of course its not just the mayor or the ceo, which has many people about it. But it is the era population, maybe an hour job. I know how to navigate all of that and help our population as much as we can. Yes, i will come a shot. The based on that we have countless struggles ahead of us within the limits. And lets say if i want to get married yesterday means there are a 1000000 things i could do with my life funny, but im stuck worrying about something should i and what theyre going to do . And what do i, thats the one i was i can already see it by the Police Companies listing. They go into moms house. They say you need to leave now show even when im at work, a few, i think about that day, but i almost the most municipalities invest money in a neighborhood to or improve the appearance of the city because they know they can bring. I hate as time an affluent population because its everything else. In 1985, the jonathan team talked about strengthening the population, but which population where they actually talking about here on top of the seo and so there is no doubt even to the planners themselves. That the population will be a well to do Jewish Population these and we will say the since the city is involved in the change is often the instigator of change. Cities need to be aware of how to manage the change and it needs to start from who are the most disadvantaged people there. And how do we make sure that we protect them and we dont have thinking like that in israel. Not in most of our neighborhoods the today in order to prevent the pressures of gentrification, you need to go to great efforts and often depending on artificial means. So then weve done about been saying the whole team and i own later today we would have handled the process more wisely. On the 1st wed make sure to transfer ownership over to the local residents. I mean, so the smart thing, the right thing for the city to have done, would have been to say were going house to house and telling residents that they should buy their homes. Were setting up a loan fund to give them a loan to be able to purchase that, and were going to purchase it with them so that when they re develop that or were going to help them re development, we take all the profit from the redevelopment and we put it into a loan fund for Affordable Housing for ads, and just because otherwise they are going to be displaced. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now . The, thats the problem. I dont see myself 10 years from now. If thats the, its not going to get better loan. Theres only worse if that built in a set of good days are over. I mean, what the news with the company talk population of lower bankers, even though were living in our apartments, the low to still be none of us less. Most of the, one of the biggest issues of justification is the pace. How fast is it happening . And i think that what weve seen here in jesup is incredibly rapid pace of displacement of very low income people and influx of huge amounts of well the us off to somebody called as an increase in chicago. Ultimately, when itll have all those beautiful things like an amazing park, an amazing school. Amazing. Find tom. So lots of small cafe is bakery shops, a health food store, the pet shop. I will call you on monday. Everything will be amazing and neighborhood will look perfect. Lou, none of the old neighbors will be there to enjoy. It will be completely clean shaved. Use like an old pass and wont drive by with that grandchildren and say, we lived here on the street.
