Title: Who planned the apartments & houses in Israel?
Post by: ChabadKahanist on August 15, 2014, 08:22:03 AM
People from Chelm?
Where in the world do they build houses & apartments without closets  besides here?
My daughter & son in law  at least had sechel when building their house in Bat Ayin they had it built with American style closets.

Because Israel is too small to build big apartments, but I think they built them on the quiet as not to alert the anti Semites in building more homes for Jews.

What are you talking about the apartment I live in here is bigger than the apartment I lived Brooklyn with the same amount of rooms.
This makes no sense since my building here was built in the 60's or 70's & there are no Arabs in my neighborhood.

Fool I was to think Israel would build new homes for Jews.

There are only building freezes, according to my understanding, on building in Jerusalem...

Not in the new city only in the old city & "East" Jerusalem.

Every place has different design standards and idiosyncrasies. Since the 1980s most of the new apartments in Israel are rather large 4 and 5 room apartments. Only recently there has been a change to build more 2 and 3 room apartments because of sky rocketing real estate prices. Walk in closets is simply not a design feature that Israelis are used to or want it. I think most would rather have a smaller closet and not waste half a room on such thing.

No closets at all you have to bring your own closets with you whenever you move into a new place unless you have a house built with closets like my daughter in Bat Ayin did,

Huh?  How do you "bring" a closet?

If there are no closets, where do people hang clothes?

Yes I am interested to know that too. When you rent an apartment it usually is not fully furnished. Often there are already closets installed though.

You buy a free standing closet & put it in the bedroom.
As I said most homes & apartments are built without them & you bring your own closet or closets when you move in.
You have to see it to believe it or understand it.
Again  as I said Chelmites must have done the planning on the buildings here.

Something like this or bigger & you bring it with you wherever you move because most houses & apartments do not have built in closets as you know them in the US,Canada or most of the world.

Have mercy  :::D I have not seen people use something like that in 50 years... When I was a a kid I remember seeing things like that in some of the old timers bedrooms... People had a lot less stuff in the way of clothing back then... Today something like that would not suffice for a small childs garments let alone an adult.

But this is the type of closets we have here in Israel.
This & slightly larger.

They have IKEA stores in Israel too.
So you can buy one and put it together yourself.

And for the rest of you, you can buy one to laugh at.

10 Gold Starts to RAbbi Kahane...he is sooooo right!  Those who try to stop those settlements and force Israel into a treaty that gives up more land and also makes its citizens more vulnerable, stop Jewish babies from being born, and allow more terrorist attacks is also Cursed.
