  A magical place indeed, the one time I attended a fiesta, I hope will not be the last.

  Cops, authorities….time to take the authority we’ve given to them (or rather were forced to give them) back. Time for a revolution, David:) But seriously, government these days, on every level from municipal to federal is encroaching on personal rights more and more each day.

  Hey Rafal, as I read it, politicians and the City (governement) weighed on the firemen to lift the ban.

  Let’s look at it positively. In so many countries, personal rights are merely about landlords paying off the firemen’s investigator, to look the other way. Then, if needed, help re-elect the right politician to make the case go away, after a few dozens people died in a fire on their rented-out premises.

  I truly hope this will work out. The kibbutz sounds like a wonderful place, just the kind I would want to live in. Good Luck, David and all other tenants who read this.

  Best,

  “The intentions have always been good on the part of the landlords,”

  That should give you hope David!

  Would not want to move out of there.

  I hope that you and the other tenants & friends pull this one off, it sounds like a great community. I was surprised and glad to read the landlords intend to keep it going.

  ALL…

  update: we had a tenants meeting last night interviewing three attorneys…we chose one.

  but, i think we will get back in there in about two months…or, never.

  in the meantime, i cannot tell you how much i have appreciated your psychological support..and my very good neighbor Robert Clark and his wife Lai-Ling have literally put a roof over my head…

  many of my friends have said things like “well, why do you even need a place? you are never at home”….yes, i do travel quite a bit, but having a “home” makes a big difference even when you are not in it…and when you are at home you “recharge the batteries” in a way that is impossible when living out of a suitcase….

  i will keep you “in the loop”…

  cheers, david

  “but having a “home” makes a big difference even when you are not in it”

  This is not “big difference”, this HUGE difference!
  I hope you will find your “home” quickly.

  peace for this home… we say in poland

  Part of “travel” is knowing you have a home to return to. I hope all goes well for you, David. I’d love to visit sometime. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you and the rest of the group. Best, Jonathan (as you use to call me. LOL.) John Fulton, Fort Worth

  In the end, if you are able to move back there without the fire hazard it will have been a good thing that all of this happened. Better than it not happening and all dying in a fire, yes?
