What does means Mauricio Macri is the brand new City of Buenos Aires Major?
Mauricio Macri (born 1959-02-08) divorced 3 children was born in Tandil, in the province of Buenos Aires, and studied at the Universidad Católica Argentina (UCA) where he received a Bachelor in Civil Engineering. He also attended Columbia Business School, Wharton Business School and Universidad del CEMA.
He is the son of Franco Macri, a corrupt and successful southern italian businessman who arrived to Argentina in 1949.
He (Franco) is related to the "Children of god" sect and Macri practically own a big percentage of Argentina, among other anecdotes, he bought 62 acres in the west side of Manhattan in 1970, then he sold those lands to Donald Trump. His company built catalinas towers and the crysler tower, icons of BA.
Mauricio gained recognition as president of one of the most popular soccer clubs of Argentina, Boca Juniors. He was elected in 1995 and reelected in 1999 and 2003.
Now Mauricio Macri is the new major of the city of BA, and some changes in the city are expected. People who supports Macri is mainly the right wing and they are tired of the trash digglers and they promote an argentinean version of the tolerance zero plan applied in NY by Giulliani, (well something similar) so safety in the city is supposed to be increased and who knows, may be the city will look more clean. One of the big concerns of the people who is against Macri is the fact of the corruption will attack massively in the Buenos Aires city government.
In addition, too much control will be probably not accepted by the portenos.
One important thing to keep in mind is the fact that a Villa Miseria, or Missery Village (Villa 31) remains located in one of the most valuated parts of Buenos Aires, it's in the middle of Puerto Madero, Retiro and Recoleta. If Macri can remove those people from there, two things may happen: a) a decrease in the value of the property on the sorrounding areas, especially retiro and recoleta, due the supply of a 18% or a initial lower sq meter rate in the new area.
