In 2003 members voted to privatize the kibbutz after many second and third generations had left for the city, prompting worry about the sustainability of the kibbutz. This meant moving the ideological approach of the kibbutz away from its original socialist principles of equality, collectivism and the Marxist ideal of "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." Some of the kibbutz land was sold for development and a new neighborhood was built, leading to an influx of 80 new families.<ref name=Maltz/> The kibbutz views homebuyers as part of the community and they are given a say in municipal and community decisions.<ref>Dan Cohen.
