Episode Details

How do you find out if an apartment building in Israel is connected to gas before you buy or rent? The answer is surprisingly complicated. This episode explores the fragmented gas market, the physical clues to look for (gas cylinder cages, yellow piping, regulator valves), and why realtors often don't know or won't tell you. Then we dive into the growing debate over banning gas in multi-unit buildings — from New York's Local Law 154 to the health risks of gas stoves and the political power of Israel's gas industry. If you can't opt out of your neighbor's gas lines, should the system exist at all?
