There's more Arab building going on

When Arabs build for themselves, they sure build quickly. I haven't been able to get a reliable reason why such a large percentage --in places like Turmus Aya (the Valley of Shiloh) almost every single structure has been enlarged-- I'm not referring to just adding a room or two. This is more than just nuveau riche excess.

I took these picture yesterday when leaving Beit El. The lighting isn't great, since it was dusk, and the focus won't win prizes. I was in a moving car. At least I took advantage of my front seat perch.
