Did the article interest you?
Haifa is the most boring city in the country. You pay the highest property tax in the country and get nothing and nothing interesting. There's not even sports here. The entire center is full of sports events. Only Haifa doesn't have any.
Definitely right
Indeed, they pay property taxes, which are among the highest in the country, and receive nothing in return.
The whole summer is "dry"
The mayor and his gang should go learn a little from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. We are the third largest city in the country. Very disappointing!!
