The facts that follow from this Tuesday in Villa Soldati talk about the inability of successive governments in recent years in the city of Buenos Aires in order to build an inclusive urban space. Not only are the three years of Macri, although clearly the confirmation of a political incompetent and miserable, is also the long continuity of Buenos Aires previous governments have failed to even minimally meet the housing shortage in the country's richest city.
The other day I spent a few hours looking at this blog which I find fascinating: a photo story of social housing in the city of Buenos Aires. Since the first group homes that socialism quiet sleep was the Home Argentine Workers, the nightmarish monoblocks from the '70s, going through the neighborhoods of chalet with tiles and white walls for public employees or mini cities that sprouted with Peronist industrialization. A range of a century of ideas about the city and the integration of the popular sectors to urban life. A secular spectrum of "housing solutions" where different political views were beating about how the city should be shared life.
What is always at stake is who has the right to live in the city. Before the outbreak, when the city government announced a plan to deed the homes of the villages, Horacio RodrÃguez Larreta said "writing By giving citizens the repent and the sense of ownership will make people tend to improve and strengthen their home. " A simple and old idea: the attachment of property and citizenship, which covers the admission that those thousands of slum dwellers today are below the legal status of citizens. In a twist poisoned (but certainly well studied for their advisors) Macri introduced the issue of migrants from neighboring countries as a new category of urban outcasts to blame for the land seizures.
The facts speak for budgetary underspending on the issue of housing, the fragmentation of the bodies responsible for housing policy, an emptying of the Housing Institute of the City. The facts also say there are in the city of Buenos Aires almost half a million people with housing problems and about 200,000 in villages and asentamietos. The events also mark the deaths of at least two people (and as I write this is mentioned a third died) during the attempted eviction of American Indian Park.
Back to looking at old photos of the above blog I'm just linking to rethink how long ago that the city is conceived as a market, how long ago that the popular sectors are invisible to those who govern Buenos Aires. In this context, Macri is just the latest story damaging a long history of consolidation of inequality. And the national government would be wrong to think that he has no responsibility in the matter.
