Hope they didn't
Seriously???! Forget about all these huge projects for a moment. I personally know people there who are running around in circles from person to person borrowing money and repaying others and on and on... They wanna build a simple house, but cannot get a permit to anything!
And as for the big projects, whoever can't stand them should go move elsewhere! Do you know who couldn't stand the growth of the Yidden? Pharaoh! Wanna put yourself into that category?! Be my guest. But I cannot foretell where this will end up. All that I have left to say now is וכאשר יענו אותו כן ירבה וכן יפרץ.
