My idea behind the series is to go chronologically thru BsAs projects, then take trips to Córdoba & Rosario to document those. I just can’t seem to get out of the 1920s because so much happened then!

If you meet someone who lives there, be sure to get invited inside & take some pics. Saludos!

They’re are all funded by the provincial government but I’m not entirely up to speed on how the whole system works–or if anyone knows for that matter ha :). Here’s what I do know but don’t take it as fact just yet.

Basically the gov’t gave out bids to various construction companies to handle the building of a certain number of houses. Not sure how many each company has the task of constructing.

In the meantime residents of the province can apply for the housing but they have to meet certain requirements. Resident of the province for a certain amount of time. Can’t own any existing property. Income. Work.

What I haven’t read or heard from anyone is how the payment system works and/or if the property can be owned by the resident.

I’d assume that the government would sell qualified people the newly constructed homes because I can’t imagine the current beaucracy acting as an efficient landlord. It would take months to fix a leaky pipe!

What’s scary about your pics is that this resembles 1950s suburban development projects in the US… projects that didn’t work then & won’t work now. But it is better than nothing, I guess

Yep, I’ve just been told that these will be sold to those who qualify. That’s how it works with the others but just wanted to make sure in this case.

My thoughts exactly on the suburban development resembling the 50’s style when I first came across these.

I think it all fits into the protest and ye shall receive scheme of things. When you know that’s going to happen, might as well join in with the rest and hope to get something out of it.
