The future of the country from an environmental perspective

peace,
I wanted to ask what you think about the future of the country from an environmental perspective. Everywhere they are building more and more buildings. In Tel Aviv, buildings are being demolished to build towers. There are traffic jams everywhere. There are hardly any parks and green spaces. The streams in the north are constantly being polluted. And that’s the situation now. A quick Google search shows that by 2030 there will be 11 in Israel, which is about *another* 1.8 million from now, and it will only go up and up. So will the future of the country be countless crowded buildings with traffic jams and hardly any parks and green spaces?
I understand that it is theoretically possible to live in open spaces in moshavim and the like, but I (and millions of others) simply cannot afford not to live in the central area for various reasons.
thanks

I don’t know. But I think that right now the situation is far from critical. In the future, economic and environmental constraints will have an impact, and I assume that the growth will moderate and perhaps stop. Perhaps the government will enact laws that will not encourage births (as they have already tried to do in the past), and the Haredim will of course protest anti-Semitism, but then there will be no choice but to listen to them. In any case, people like you who can’t help but live in the downtown area will be able to, both because transportation will improve and because constraints will dictate. If you can’t to the point where you’re willing to die, then you’ll probably be the last of the downtown residents (metaphorically, of course).
