Sites like Airbnb and similar are great options for fees and taxes charged by hotels. In addition, it is much cheaper to buy supplies for breakfast or dinner (without risking the local seasoning) and drink your favorite brand of liquor (the price of three or four drinks in any lobby covers that of a 750 milliliter bottle, available at the supermarket). However, one of the problems that residents of spaces in condominiums that are rented through these types of platforms are very aware of are noise after hours, having smokers in prohibited places and being suspicious due to the entry and exit of complete strangers.
Ignorance of the rules does not exempt anyone from compliance, but as the owners of these rental places are swollen with money, the residents have a hard time, some of whom are already organizing to negotiate that part of the profits will be intended to improve common areas and apply preventive or corrective maintenance, for example, and, of course, that internal regulations are complied with as agreed in neighborhood assemblies.
There are extreme cases. As there is the possibility of renting for a day, there are apartments that serve as transit hotels or are intended for drunkenness that lasts until dawn. Are there cases of fights with tenants? Surely. But complaints, if they are filed, remain in limbo.
In that sense, surveillance committees could be organized to impose “high fines” for inconvenience. It will be said that these are not applicable as they are outside all law. In that case, it would be advisable to consider “closing” the Airbnb in question. If ten people are capable of closing the circulation of an avenue, why couldn’t the same number of neighbors prevent an Airbnb customer from entering the place they hired? I’m sorry. Extreme conditions require extreme responses.
Where before there was coexistence, or at least that was the intention, now there is only influx. During the last few years, “speculators have snapped up low-cost apartments in the so-called Central City” of Mexico City. In municipalities like Cuauhtémoc, Miguel Hidalgo, Azcapotzalco, Coyoacán and Iztacalco, these ruffians invest little and obtain juicy profits. Originally intended for social housing, the apartments are rented through digital platforms or resold at a higher price. Likewise, “real estate developers took the opportunity to build more apartments” or built luxury apartments in those designated points instead of social housing, as ordered by the respective norm (Excelsior12/09/2023).
The problem, essentially, is that the central government of CDMX provides permits, but the construction protests correspond to each mayor’s office. Hence the tremendous scandal over the Real Estate Cartel from which, although not exclusively, PAN officials from Benito Juárez and Miguel Hidalgo took advantage.
The country’s capital has grown wildly upwards. Large buildings covered the horizon of industrial areas. Places with a night shift, from ten at night to five in the morning, for example, currently prevent the rest of those who acquire these properties in very good faith, and with great enthusiasm. Architects don’t see that. It’s not your problem, although it is. Ethics are passed through the triumphal arch.
As a former delegate, Xóchilt is aware of this situation. It is ridiculous who in her day complained about the White House or the Gray House to now argue that the one in Xóchitl is made of brick. She is like the boy who killed her parents, but asked the judge for mercy because he was an orphan (Monsiváis).
