Residents who purchased land on the slopes of Lincoln, below Harofeh Street in the Ahuza neighborhood, found themselves waiting almost 6 years after the purchase, and construction in the area has not yet begun. Moreover, the infrastructure works, which are the condition for the start of construction, were not carried out at all. According to the residents, they are trying in every way to understand the reason for the delay, but are not getting any answers.
Great deal
Before 5-6, land on the slopes of Lincoln in the estate neighborhood was put up for sale. The lands cost several hundreds of thousands of NIS and were snapped up quickly. Many believed that this was an excellent deal and even bought more than one piece of land. The years passed, but as we bought the lands, so they remained, without construction or infrastructure. Today, the owners of the land are trying to understand why the construction of the housing units does not begin, But they fail to get any clear answer. What is clear is that there is no sign that anything is going to happen, or if there is a planned date for the start of construction, in fact, the buyers do not even know what the waiting means and what is stopping the execution of the plan.
Kalish Rotem: "Urban renewal in the coastal neighborhoods is preferable"
Mayor Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem spoke about the plan, saying that she opposes it, stressing that it is a plan inherited from the previous mayor's tenure - Yona Yahav. According to Kalish Rotem, it is better to promote urban renewal in old neighborhoods and not to establish new neighborhoods. Together with However, it should be noted that Kalish Rotem did not stop the planning of the neighborhood.
Over a year ago, the municipality presented the Lincoln Hills - Tel Aharon neighborhood plan. According to the plan, 2,800 units will be built, about 1,700 in Tel Aharon and about 1,070 in the Lincoln slopes. The neighborhood will be connected to Freud Road and built under Harofeh Street. that it is located between valleys, it is not going to harm them at all. More than that, according to her, the new houses on the slopes of Lincoln will not hide the view for the residents of Harofeh Street.
It should be noted that the court has already determined that the residents do not have possession of the view and has approved developers in previous cases to build to a height even if the view of houses located nearby will be damaged. At the same time, the planning in the Lincoln Hills neighborhood is done in such a way that the residents of Harofeh Street will not be harmed. According to the municipality, the construction on the slopes of Lincoln will not exceed 10 floors per building, therefore the residents of Harofeh Street will not be harmed.
In an article broadcast about a week ago on News 12 regarding the construction in Lincoln Slopes, the response of the Haifa Municipality was published according to which "in the Lincoln Slopes project, the state has not yet developed the super-infrastructure, of transportation and sewerage, which are necessary to advance the project."
According to the municipality, this is the state's responsibility
Haifa residents who bought land in the project and have been waiting for several years to see the start of construction, watched the article on Channel 12 and were surprised by the municipality's response. Over the years, they got the impression that the municipality is the one that should prepare the infrastructure and raise a budget for it. From watching television, the residents learned that it is not the municipality's responsibility at all, as the municipality claims, but rather the state's responsibility. According to the residents, it is not clear whether the relevant authorities in the state are even aware of the long waiting time imposed on the land buyers and whether there is any entity in the municipality that is putting pressure on the state in order to advance the preparation of the infrastructure or to obtain the budget for this purpose.
The owners of the rights in the above-mentioned lots are also entitled to realize the purpose of the lots - private lots intended for construction and this from the last century and even before you purchased your house - think that the other has ownership rights as well
Residents of Harofeh Street, Likolan and other streets in the estate oppose the plan, which turns all the hills around Haifa into blocks of concrete and stone, and destroys the natural landscape that this city has been blessed with. High-rise buildings are not urban renewal, but urban destruction. And the claim that the high-rise construction does not hide the view to Harofeh Street is unfounded. This is exactly the same claim that was made at the time that the noise from the stadium would not disturb the people of the estate.
And even if the view is not completely hidden from the people of Harofeh Street, it will hide the view from the residents of Lincoln Street.
The claim that the view does not belong to the residents is unfounded, if you consider the fact that a house with an open view is always sold at a much higher price than a house without a view, in Haifa. An open view is a property right, otherwise it would not have added about 35% to the prices of the apartments.
It is better not to build in empty wadis
Important article Michal. Shabbat Shalom
The answer to the question - how many more years to wait for the issuance of a building permit - depends on the state of corruption and planning chaos in Haifa - starting on May 16.05.1968, 54 when construction was frozen (about 50 years of corruption and freezing) the state of planning chaos and planning corruption was not good from the point of view of the land owners (except for a minority who enjoyed From this situation and with the cooperation of the corrupt parties, he derived handsome profits from the situation for himself and, as suspected, for the corrupt from among the public parties responsible for the freezing / thawing of the land - through soil conditioners and/or other means). In any case, it is important to know that to date, approximately NIS 50 million of public funds have been poured into the corruption issue known as the 'Tel Aharon-Lincoln' plan, so to speak, for planning (including substantial payments for the "advancement of planning" known colloquially as payment to the farmers or in another language - Heavy suspicion of bribe payments - and the hand is tilted - according to the suspicion, a significant part of this astronomical amount was paid without receipts and invoices, although today, according to the suspicion, corruption and bribery are more than institutions and lenders with "legal" tax invoices. None of the public authorities care that the public pays 1,054 million NIS and those corrupt among the determining factors expect much, much more. Therefore, the day when it will be possible to get a building permit is still very far away. Just for the sake of scale, one of the municipality's employees would like to help me get a building permit for a land area of one dunam (2.5 m "R) included in the plan, suggested at the time that I would agree to give the right parties an apartment (currently worth over NIS 300 million) - then according to him, a building permit could be arranged in the aforementioned neighborhood, and therefore the expected bribe, so it is suspected, stands at 750 million NIS (300 × 2.5 m = 750 m NIS) and this is regardless of the expensive development costs in the city of Haifa - which are suspected to increase huge sums due to inflated costs (within the framework of regulating development at a very poor level) - according to The suspicion while raking in many payments to the right people and the understanding will understand. In short, there is still a long way to go, and also the disbursement of a new loan (to a landowner who motivates the authorities to promote planning for him and for land buyers on his behalf) in the amount of approximately NIS 48 million according to the publications to the stock exchange (Gabai Group of the Stock Exchange, which has no suspicion of corruption) yet They are not expected to please the greed of those responsible for freezing construction and preventing the possibility of obtaining building permits. Therefore, it is suggested to take a breath, shout a lot and muster a lot of patience. As the organizers of the freeze in the planning authorities say - wait, In the end, after you understand it might work out - and the promises - just like what happened recently in Ramat Goral - of course do not pay off - getting building permits in Ramat Goral will not be possible in the coming years - it seems not even in the coming decades... Patience and knock hard on the heads of the corrupt.
Hi Ilan Bornstein. Where did you get all this knowledge? could you introduce yourself
The initial planning for the neighborhood was prepared by a junior architect who was then working in Prof. Tzmir's office. Her name is Einat Kalish. Maybe by chance the mayor knows her?
It's nice that the mayor now agrees that the previous planning was screwed up...
The current feature is also screwed up - this is the way of those concerned. Ignoring the quality planning I made.
Apparently all my life because the goal is to first take control of the evacuation of construction in Shaprintzak thousands of housing units at a zero construction price and a high selling price.
Ramat Eshkol is also stuck (just to emphasize that there was planning since 1933). Although it was recently approved and released.
Since Goral, we haven't had a mayor who moved anything.
Klish is busy fighting with everyone and has no time or energy to promote anything.
The revitalization of old neighborhoods is really important, Amma even there she doesn't lift a finger, Kalish, just busy in her chair. Criminal neglect, by Bat Galit and Hadar, no matter how beautiful the city is, the mayor neglects it. Kalish, go away already. You failed. don't want you
convolutions convolutions Madobek in a neighborhood that will require an investment of hundreds of millions of shekels due to a very steep topography, including two interchanges for the Freud axis, which alone are over NIS 50 million. The one. The buyers of the land.. the majority belongs to the zillionaire Ofer family. Why do the residents of Haifa need to finance this. To private landowners. Drainage will cost 4x more than any other neighborhood.Huge retaining walls due to extremely steep lots.
This whole neighborhood should have been canceled and building rights should have been increased in the southern entrances of Nav Peres and land swaps should have been made and the Lincoln Doctor hills, a neighborhood born in sin and completely unnecessary, should have never been approved. It is understood that it will burden the huge traffic jams in Freud, until the entire ascent to Horev in Freud will be jammed every day all day every day of the year with a half-hour traffic jam.
This thing must be canceled.
New construction is mandatory enough to bury your head in the ground. The young people are leaving the city in favor of the Kiryats
It is important to be accurate in the facts and not to tell practical stories. The part that is partially owned by the Ofer family has long been approved and is a high-rise that hides the view in the part below Freud Road - the eastern part of the Neot Peres neighborhood that has not yet been built. This area also includes the winning of the contractor Pershkovsky in the Israel Land Authority's tender for the construction of high-rise buildings that hide the view, and now there is an intention to deposit a plan that will add more apartments, increase the density and hide more the view from Freud Road, the Carmel Ridge and the new neighborhood that will be built on the slopes of Lincoln. Indeed, the writer is right that the planning burdens Freud Road, right - this is the failed and corrupt planning that the Haifa Municipality is trying to dictate to the public - the goal is simple - creating a transportation crisis that dictates very few apartments in the neighborhood - the course of action is to approve the construction of about 2,000 apartments - slightly less than rights The historical constructions approved according to the plan from the British Mandate remedy - creating a transportation default that allows only about 1,300 apartments to be built - and they are probably intended for the same group of land owners who are, as is suspected, willing to hire millions of NIS to promote a plan that is expected to be realized only by a portion From the land owners - in fact for them and for a number of "respectable" owners - the idea is that the rest of the land owners will not be able to build - just as was carried out and recently approved in the corrupt plan also known as 'Ramat Goral' - the principle of first come, first served - that is, only those who know how to issue a building permit first The one that will be built - the rest of the landowners - who do not know the mind of the controllers - will not prove to realize their construction - maybe only a small part of them will succeed in passing the net - the same net that traps the land owners and allegedly extorts bribe payments from them. It is possible to create another plan, the same plan which I already proposed in 2015 and in this case a decision was made for contempt of court against the Haifa Municipality - OT 2634-11-15 which concerned the obligation of the Haifa Municipality to examine the excellent planning I prepared - without damaging interchanges on Freud Road and without traffic congestion on Freud Road - a building suitable for the existing construction in the Carmel ridge and in line with the mountain route without formidable, expensive and dangerous retaining walls that harm the environment - the decision of the district committee from December 2017 - obliging the local committee to discuss the plan I prepared did not take place - there was a very partial presentation of the plan at the plenary discussion of the local committee on 23.02.2021 - and the discussion and examination of the plan was avoided Since those pulling the strings opposed this and prevented it - this is the failure of the Haifa City Council - here is the heavy suspicion of corruption that enables chaos, preventing construction and creating exchanges that harm the person and the environment, I'm sorry, the response is short.
The further away (if at all), the better for the city.
The damage to the landowners destroys the city and the necessary transportation solutions. The plan I prepared solves everything in a good way. Corruption and chaos unfortunately dictate the conduct and in the end the public pays the price.
The mayor is a bit funny, by and large she is right that the focus should be on urban renewal in the old neighborhoods, but what will be done in these neighborhoods during her tenure? A lot of master plans and not even one building has been renewed. The mayors of Haifa are champions only in talking. The beach neighborhoods in every city are renovated and expensive are the most miserable in Haifa and the ugly and old train housing in front of the beautiful Hecht Park only amplifies the failures of the municipality, for generations.
It's been 8 years already.
It is better that they return the money to the land buyers who were obviously greedy enough to do this in order to earn even more later, and to leave the green landscape and nature.
New neighborhoods should not be pushed into every hole and patch, especially in light of the fact that Haifa is already not prepared at all for the amount of population it has.
Enough of construction at the expense of nature!!!!
What greedy people in your mind? Crazy response.
Dear Mrs. Greed, the land was frozen for construction on May 16.05.1968, 2012, and since then the owners of the land have not been allowed to exercise the construction rights they purchased with full money. In fact, at the beginning of 100, intensive marketing of land began for unsuspecting customers who were supposedly promised that the land would be allowed to be built - but the agreements did not promise anything - except to try and get a plan approved that would replace the excellent plan from the British Mandate period - an excellent plan according to which many hundreds of apartments were built in the Carmel Ridge and an example of which are the plans The equivalents from the British Mandate period - the same excellent, high-quality and prestigious construction - are the prestigious and expensive neighborhoods in the Carmel Ridge. It is not about greed at all - but about land intended for residential construction. The result of the construction freeze is the artificial housing crisis that causes an endless spiral in housing prices. The regulation of prices and the freeze on construction create golden opportunities for acts of corruption - the more and more the landowners are hurt - the more the land is given up to squatters and it is suspected that there are substantial bribe payments - all at the expense of the beaten and bruised landowners and at the expense of the public. Indeed, according to the suspicion, the agreements signed by more than 15,000 buyers include a payment of XNUMX NIS plus VAT and a total of several million NIS to a company which, according to the suspicion, is in fact a scam and the payments go to the right people who are supposed to regulate the new program , and the matter also came up in legal proceedings. It is important to understand - those buyers of recent years - are the victims of corruption - these are the easy victims - the suspicion of fraud and corruption has hurt and continues to hurt mainly the historical landowners and it is clear that the Haifa Municipality and the planning authorities have turned the rights and property of the landowners into dust. This is the way of the rule of the corrupt bureaucracy. Come and greed material? What are you talking about - this is a serious suspicion of fraud and extortion, the whole point of which is to extort bribes and create an artificial housing crisis designed to regulate housing prices and generate excessive profit in projects that are promoted by the very same corrupt people who are fed, according to the suspicion, by the promotion of the construction monsters offered by the planning authorities and the Haifa municipality to the public - This is the way of a corrupt government - allegedly, the rule of officials who feed on bribes and favors.
