During the first forum “Bando 1, for a habitable and affordable city”, carried out in the Museum of Mexico City, the official said that all meetings with specialists, neighbors, entrepreneurs and various sectors will be open and without any restriction of ideas.
Encinas added that in the discussion about gentrification, it is necessary to collect both positions for and against, as well as proposals to mitigate the effects of the phenomenon that has caused the increase in housing for sale and rent, as well as the expulsion of neighbors, especially in the 12 colonies of the Cuauhtémoc and Miguel Hidalgo Mayor’s Offices, cataloged as “real estate voltage areas”.
When taking the floor in the forum, Patricia Ramírez, head of the Planning Institute of Mexico City, considered that side 1 will be the beginning of a route to form public policies that guarantee the right to housing for the least favored sectors.
While the activist and lawyer Karla Escoffie spoke in favor of forming the Tensory Rights Law, since there are gaps in the law that violate people who rent a home in the capital.
They ask that tourism not be affected
Of the 13 participations of the public attending the forum, six were by hosts of lodging platforms, who asked to have a place at the representation table to write the affordable housing laws and fair income.
They called the authorities to remove stigmatization against the hosts, since many of them are their personal or family livelihood.
