Housing instability in Venezuela and Mexico
Overview
In Caracas, Venezuela, residents of the Lomas de Urdaneta residential complex are experiencing housing insecurity following seismic activity. While the primary infrastructure remains stable, the Presidential Commission on Habitability has assigned the building a ‘red label’ due to severe damage, including fractured beams, cracked staircases, and broken pipes. Estimated repair costs of $60,000 are reportedly unaffordable for the low-income residents due to inflation and the high cost of living.
Simultaneously, in the Cuajimalpa borough of Mexico City, families are reporting an increase in illegal property invasions. In the Contadero area, approximately 300 people have reportedly entered a 6,800-square-meter private property to begin construction. Local residents claim that those occupying the land use tactics such as falsifying documents and changing locks. The Mexico City Government’s Secretariat of Citizen Concertation is currently handling negotiations as an investigation remains open.
