Palestinian developer builds city of dreams, but will they come?
Even if you build it, they won't come ;--)
A nice shiny new city lies nearly empty as pali's prefer to live in ruins. Rawabi, 1.2 billion dollars wasted ?
Quote
In the half year since Rawabi opened to residents, home sales have been slow; several businesses that were planning to open up have gotten cold feet. The project has even stopped advertising.
Today, the stone-paved streets of Rawabi’s first neighborhood are lined with small shrubs, street lamps, and even public exercise machines. But after dark, light emanates only from the windows of lone apartments amid a canyon-like row of darkened residential buildings.

Its a sad reality even after everything thats been given the Arab Muslims in Israel that they seem so unwilling to make a change for the better.
