your so-called mundane and unformatted posts are always welcome, gives a little snapshot of your day to let me imagine what living in an alternate mediterranean reality is like.
I would've loved to see pictures of this school (or just playground?) on a parking structure. Ideas like that are always fun but kinda flawed, b/c who's going to be attracted into going up there unless you're in a really dense city like HK, which keeps its sidewalks swept clean of dog shit to increase general civic loveliness. Also, sadly, a lot of the tenants in rundown houses just can't afford to renovate. This opens the possibility (if the tower was in prime real estate) of gentrification, driving market prices until the lower income are kicked out. But I don't remember any place in Tel Aviv having the kind of underused patches that we have in LA.
so it does it mean these observations are increasing your ambivalent feelings toward living here?

I also enjoy your Hebrew leaking into English, even in written form ("strangקness"). That Kof has a certain aesthetic sitting in the middle there.
