Jaffa: A Guide to Gentrification

Jaffa: A Guide to Gentrification

Jaffa, once a major port in the Middle East and the sister city of Tel Aviv has grown into an international tourist center, a coveted destination and last but not least a true real estate gem. Tourists, partygoers and its residents are charmed by Jaffa’s oriental style and romantic authenticity, but beneath the shiny surface lurk racism, greed and injustice. Developer's greed, government neglect, and pure financial motives combine to price out thousands of families who have called Jaffa their home for decades.
