Show Notes
Why is real estate in Dimona, home to Israel's nuclear reactor, shockingly cheap but almost impossible to develop? This episode explores the "Golden Cage" phenomenon, where high-security restrictions and a massive infrastructure gap have marooned the city economically. We break down the structural failures, from the "brain drain" of local talent to the specific reasons tech giants like Intel choose other locations despite massive tax incentives.
