Yeah it sucks. It's really bad. This was the first thing that really put me off Zionism. I couldn't understand why it's so important to fight Arabs for the land of Israel if you are just going to build a bunch of grey prison boxes all over it. Never got a straight answer on it.

I don't think, though, that it's literally that we're too spatially retarded, it's just that it's easy for us to lean into verbal IQ and explain why something is good rather than actually make it good, and combined with not having an indigenous architectural traditon and global culture of modernism we end up with crap everywhere.
I don’t know how much we’d agree on. But I definitely agree with you on the grey prison boxes.
I mention “green space,” and the brainwashed State loyalist responds with “huh?”
There are some towns, such as Shiloh and in its surrounding area which have used working the land as re-conquering the land, instead of grey prison boxes. Farther up in the Shomron and deep in Judea south of the Jerusalem suburbs (I call them), there are those who focus on sustainability, growing their own food, barter, and disconnecting from the grid.
Frustrating that it’s the far right and far left who stick to their principles. I sure wish they would at least share ideas, strategies, and low tech with either other.

Oh well.
Oh, and I believe the State of Israel to be only quasi-Zionist.
