I dont see a garbage in the streets problem, maybe south tel aviv with shop owners not careful about keeping them clean. I think we have to just live in a way that makes less garbage, recycle our stuff. we have a culture of throwing everything old in favour of new gadgets and furniture, its really in the dna here of adopting anything new as better than anything old (example - the plasma tv mania, the ikea mania) so yes it creates huge amounts of garbage.
I agree with you on not accomplishing full potential. I blame it only on beaurocracy of how govt. and local govt. take ages to aprove every little project and try to finance everything as cheap as possible seeing only the short term, and then we end up in legal disputes and delays (light rail projects for example). I think the strikes could have ended in hours, not months. stadiums and ports must be built in years not decades. we need 3 more big new hospitals. we need more rail lines. bigger ports.
