The demonstration in Neve David against the Ramat Hanasi wall 18/07/2013 | Video from the field

1. The elections are coming soon, that's why there are people who are trying to win political points at your expense (the residents). And everything is understandable.
   But there are facts that no politician will ignore.
   Neve David will soon feel the change, with the evacuation of construction and the construction of evacuation, Ramat Hanasi has already raised the prices of apartments in the area. All residents of Neve David will be able to study at the new school. A commercial center, for the well-being of the residents. But what's the problem? People paid an average of one million five hundred thousand per apartment, and got an apartment in new buildings. Residents of Neve David can invest a much lower amount to change the appearance of a building. Why should a municipality do this? With the problem is the roads, so it's a problem for the whole city.

   I have a lot of friends in Neve David, and they cheer... After all, thanks to Ramat Hanasi, they are going to get a new apartment! If it weren't for Ramat Hanasi, no entrepreneur would enter the neighborhood!

   Thanks,
   A new neighbor from the president level

2. The Neve David neighborhood is an integral part of the city of Haifa.
   And in its condition today it is a social wound that requires treatment.
   Precisely against the background of the new buildings (and it's good that they came up) the desolation stands out
   and the lack of ongoing treatment. The municipality will also initiate the new construction project
   We had to respond and treat the crumbling of the buildings
   and the neighborhood of Neve David.
   The wall is another symptom of alienation and ignoring the needs of the residents.
   This is 2013 model social racism and it's a shame that the municipality gives its hand (even silently)
   Not only for the construction of the wall, but mainly for the continued deterioration of the Neve David neighborhood.
   It is forbidden for the city's entrepreneurs to evade their responsibility for the cultivation of Neve David!!.
   The moment of construction must be taken advantage of and Neve David raised to the "presidential level".

3. The sign saying that educational institutions are being established in the Ramat Hanasi neighborhood under the signature of the municipality indicates that the municipality led by Yahav is causing the differentiation of Ramat Hanasi and the demarcation of Neve David as an undesirable enclave.
   The Ramat Hanasi project was established in the areas bordering Neve David, so it would be natural that these areas are the reserve areas for the expansion of the Neve David neighborhood. Instead, Yahav Kedem developed a residential project that he gave a new name, Aalek, where this area is elevated from the existing neighborhood instead of making it one level. The entrances of the buildings are directed towards the mountain instead of towards the existing neighborhood to create harmony between the two neighborhoods. Instead, the back of the walled building faces Neve David. There are indeed narrow staircases that allow passage between the two neighborhoods, but these passages will make it very difficult for mothers with strollers and children with bicycles to access the green areas in the new residential district, and it seems that there was a deliberate thought here to prevent easy mixing of the old Neve David population with the new population of Neve David in the buildings the new ones.
   If they really wanted to create harmony between the new neighborhood and the new residential complex, then from a planning point of view it would have been necessary to place the public areas and the green areas at the seam between the old and the new, and reflections arise that it is requested that this was not done on purpose.
   There was no discussion with the old residents of Neve David during the planning phase of the new residential complex to hear their opinion on the outline of public participation, because this action was apparently in the view of the developers seriously damaging the branding of the project as a high-quality, new residential district that does not fit in and does not affect the population of Neve David.

   Yahav, whether you like it or not, Ramat Hanasi is not a neighborhood in itself but an integral enclave of Neve David that only poor planning caused it to be separated from the existing one. In an era where the Ministry of the Interior unites authorities, there is no logical reason to divide two small neighborhoods, it is only fair that they should be integrated and united.
   Yahav, you forgot where you came from and what your childhood districts were.

   In stark contrast to what happened in Neve David, the Hashivat Galim, there were different processes in the planning of the maritime neighborhood adjacent to the old neighborhood. In Bat Galim, at some point, probably in the very distant future, the evacuation of the Navy's barracks and the construction of a maritime residential neighborhood are supposed to take place. This project, which is led by the architect Benny Izak, is an example of cooperation between project planners and local residents. We sat for many hours with Benny Izak and commented Our comments that the neighborhood should be harmoniously integrated with the old part of Bat Galim. In this plan, the common needs of the old and the new are reflected when the public buildings and the green areas are placed at the seam between the old and the new so that the residents of the old neighborhood will benefit from the new complex and that everything will be accessible to everyone.
   It turns out that in the Ramat Hanasi project, not a single planner bothered to think about combining the old and the new and only thought about differentiation and separation.

   Yahav bad for Neve David. Yahav is bad for Haifa. Put the keys on the table and let Borovsky manage the city more successfully than you and with less schlomialism and where and where.

   Regards.

   Nava Carmel.

4. faction "Greens of Haifa" that you are fighting together with the residents of Neve David and tomorrow you will participate in the residents' demonstration against the wall.
   Haifa's greens demand:
   1. Strengthening the Neve David neighborhood.
   2. The removal of the signage regarding "Ramat Hanasi" since it is in the Neve David neighborhood.
   3. Changing the face of planning in Haifa.

   The greens of Haifa On the background of the Ramat Hanasi project:

   "The name of the Neve David neighborhood cannot be erased!"

   Members of the "Greens of Haifa" movement will participate tomorrow, Thursday, in a demonstration organized by residents of the Neve David neighborhood against the wall erected by the Geb Yam company that surrounds the "Ramat Hanasi" project and separates it from the Neve David neighborhood. Galbhart: "Neva David, an old neighborhood with hundreds of families, deserves promotion and nurturing, not neglect and deprivation." In the meantime, the Greens demand that all "Presidential Level" signs be removed.

   Anyone passing through the Neve David neighborhood must have noticed the new wall that separates it from the Gev Yam company project and away from it the signs heralding the new neighborhood: "Ramat Hanasi". Haifa's green movement decided to give a boost to the residents of the Neve David neighborhood and the movement strongly protests that the commercial center and the public space of the new project are cut off from Neve David. Architect Shmuel Galbhart, whose specialty is urban planning and the chairman of Haifa's Green faction, has led many planning struggles in the past 18 years, says: "The entire planning faces Carmel, and with the southern part of the back to Neve David and its residents, all public space, landscaping, public buildings, and the commercial center, were not built in a manner accessible to the residents of Neve David, but on the contrary - surrounded by the new buildings, and surrounded by the wall, which everyone knew for whom they were intended. The municipality is trying to sell the residents of Neve David the story that the new buildings will increase the value of their homes. Last time they sold this false story when they claimed Because the Carmel Beach towers will increase the value of their homes. The public has long since stopped believing this nonsense, and it's a shame to recycle it!

   Our demand from the municipality will be that The new buildings will be called part of Mano David In no way will we agree to give them a new prestigious name that will distinguish them from the old Noah David."

   in the greens of Haifa They are angry about the construction of the fence and the claims of the municipality and "Gev Yam" that it is a retaining wall - why is it a retaining wall in a flat area? The explanation is very simple: the level of all the new construction was raised, to emphasize the separation from the old Neve David, and thus the need for a supporting wall, which strengthens the separation even more, was created, the wall designed to separate the old and neglected Neve David, from the new and prestigious Neve David.

   "The developers can call their project any contractor name they want, even 'Ramat Beverly Hills,'" says Galbhart, "but as soon as the municipality also appears on the sign, the sign must bear the official name of the neighborhood - Neve David. It is enough that the sales office assures the apartment buyers that there will be no connection with Neve-David, it is not possible that now the municipality will give a hand to make Neve-David disappear from consciousness," explains Galbhart and concludes: "Neva-David, an old neighborhood with hundreds of families, deserves promotion and cultivation, not neglect and deprivation. The Municipal Shemat will not approve this name!"
   This week, Galbhart sent a letter to the city secretary, Mrs. Bracha Sela, in which he demanded to remove all the "Presidential level" signs signed by the city.
