Perhaps this is the role of the new “Minister of Habitat” is for......growing these new neighborhoods nation wide......more shantytowns.

I've seen them and they are mind boogling. Even how they illegally tap into the electric lines from the streets.

On my last trip to BA I was shocked at how fast and far the Slums have grown.
Won decade indeed
I hope the Police/Army have the ability to close them off when the sh*t hits the fan because these animals have nothing to lose.

Yes.....but now with a dedicated minister of habitat, they can spread this status of living exponentially faster.

I would imagine it is probably the case that all these 'poor people' VOTED for TMBOA just to get the 50 argie arsewipes, a choripan and a coke.

And who can blame them?

Look everyone, this is just all that new housing that CFK promised to build a few years ago, to house the poor. Remember how TTT boasted about it?

Well it took a couple of years and here it is..prefabricated slums.
