We can't rely solely on government-funded housing

To begin this, here's an article about a new Jewish neighborhood in east Jerusalem that's being completed:
(IsraelNN.com) Developers of a new Jewish neighborhood on privately-owned land in eastern Jerusalem plan to lay the cornerstone for the project Wednesday afternoon, ignoring U.S. President Barack Obama’s opposition to Jewish “settlers" in the area. Former Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau and National Union Knesset Member Uri Ariel plan to be on hand for the ceremony which marks the development of 105 luxury units in Nof Tzion. A new Torah scroll also will be dedicated.

The project is located in the Jabel Mukabar neighborhood, home to several terrorists with Israeli identity cards who have carried out murderous attacks on Israelis, including the murder of eight students at the Merkaz HaRav yeshiva last year. Police are deployed to prevent violence that has spread throughout eastern Jerusalem this week.
Now it's great that a new neighborhood's been set up for Jews to live in east Jerusalem. But aside from that, note that these apartments were built upon privately owned land, surely as privately-bankrolled buildings too. It made me think: if Israeli society is to rebuild and make its presence clear throughout the country, surely privately funded land is the way to go? Because a lot of the building that many seem to be demanding be done appears to be government financed.

Well in all due honesty, should Jews have to rely solely on government funded housing? I'd think not, as that would be failing to take up the challenge of proving yourself capable of succeeding in capitalism. So maybe it'd be a good idea for Jews who want to build residences in Yesha and Jerusalem to start working on how to get private funding secured for these very purposes. Only that way will the Zionist movement succeed in really getting things done.
