Qalandia -
The quarry for this stone is at the edge of the village. In fact you can use any mountain here as a quarry. It gives the local workers a good job to do. The amount of buildings under construction is outrageous. A lot of them are empty. The owners either live in the United States and come here for the summer. Or they rent a house in Jerusalem to get the coveted Jerusalem ID instead of the less valuable Westbank ID. The Jerusalem ID enables you to travel in Israel and gives you access to Israeli Healthcare and social security.
