falafel is the one around 24 shekel, anon lives in "new building" aka not the city center which is mostly old buildings and average prices seem correct for the city center ...
anon also earns exponentially higher than most of haifa, says alot about the wage gap between rich and poor in the city , the median would be much lower.
Rent - if you're paying more than 2,000 NIS for a one bedroom in Haifa, you're either in a really trendy/anglo spot or you're just plain overpaying. I have a new building, 2 bedrooms w/ private mamad and I pay 2500.
Preschool - Who on earth would pay 2,700 NIS a month for daycare? After state subsidy you pay max 2,000 NIS unless you're rich or don't know how to apply for the subsidy. I'm a two income family making approx 50,000 USD/year and we pay around 1,800 NIS.
The only thing on here that seems close to accurate is the average monthly salary.
