The residents of Jerusalem generally send their children to live in Bet Shemesh, where we are building 25,000 housing units. But, a small minority of them prefer to continue living in Jerusalem, yet there are not enough apartments available. For them, I am happy to vote in favor of this plan. 1500 apartments will be enough for them, the rest can all come to Bet Shemesh.

  -- Moshe Montag, Bet Shemesh city councilman, and member of regional for planning and construction of Jerusalem region, upon voting approval for the construction of 1500 apartments in Ramat SHlomo neighborhood in Jerusalem. (quote taken from Chadash newspaper)
