Incentives

  • When the Old City got so overcrowded it was unhealthy, Montefiorieraised the money to build on a hill to the west. The Jews he invited to move were afraid to leave the rotection of the walls.
  • Some say that cholera finally brought tenants to Mishkanot Shananim (http://www.israelimages.com/files/11880.htm). Others that it was bonus money.
