Poverty is a social issue that imposes serious limitations regarding the physical, intellectual, and social development of the people who suffer from it. Likewise, it hinders the equality of opportunities among individuals and evinces gaps related to the exercise of human, economic and social rights of a society. https://www.coneval.org.mx/Informes/Coordinacion/INFORMES_Y_PUBLICACIONES_PDF/REPORT_OF_POVERTY_IN_MEXICO_2010.pdf

This picture is a great example of how some people live, as you can see these are old people, and those are unacceptableliving conditions for anyone and even more for old people. Unfortunately, this is a reality because people +50 years old are the ones that more often we see in the streets. What can we do for a change?

Revulsion with the government of Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto over pervasive corruption and insecurity has become widespread in Mexico. https://www.businessinsider. com/anger-could-derail- mexicos-economic-recovery- 2015-5

Mexican taxes ir one impediment for some poor people, because for those people even 16% is a big impediment, we don’t consider how taxes affect some people and how important it is for them. So we should regulate taxes.    Link:  https://mexlaw.ca/what-you- need-to-know-about-your- rental-property-and-mexicos- tax-laws/

There’s a huge difference of clases in Mexico,  meanwhile some people can choose between super expensive houses, others don’t have where to live or live in bad conditions. We are not criticizing this page, we are making an statement about the unfair situation in Mexico  Responder Reenviar

In Mexico one of the big problem is the unemployed as you can see this is the rate     anonimo. (2018). México - Desempleados. 2018, de tranding economics Sitio web: https://es.tradingeconomics.com/mexico/unemployed-persons

Read this article! Even it is in spanish, articles in spanish can reflect more of the real stuff that is happening because it is Mexico's native lenguaje.  Link: http://amp.eluniversal.com.mx/ amp/note/amp/eluniversal/ 765959 Fuente: Lucía Godinez .

Later after Homex didn’t respond to their responsibilities to the Mexican people. They just had this to say.

Homex is one of the most important Mexican construction company, that claims to be honest and make quality houses, but has been involved in a huge fraud.

This picture shows, how some people live in Mexico, because they can’t have anything better. 

We can see something important from this bad quality Mexican show. And it’s the white washing society we have in our country. Mexico tries to show the whitest part of it and tries to make invisible the rest the poor, those vulnerable, if we talk about house lacking we have to understand the reasons, one of those is this: “Mexico wants to make invisible the poor and the homeless, make them look like they don’t exist and we can’t help those we want to ignore”. 

As we know, how government or real state agents show us the information, is a shocking secret that we won't know, "only one can win" sadly in Mexico is the government... for now. With the Mexican citizens looking for a change, new organizations and new programs are starting to grow, hopefully new movements will come.

A lot of Mexicans are still scared with the next president, with so many plans and so many words, now we want to see actions. AMLOpolis is the plan that Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is presenting to the citizens, in this plan he is implementing a better life standards. In this plan there are 5 factors of action: 1.     Improve the institutions and more control with compliance with housing rights laws 2.     Increment of housing for people with low resources and young people, offering 1.     better guarantees to landlords 3.     Guarantee an adequate housing for the citizens with low incomes 4.     Action for solutions related to housing necessities like health, safety, education, culture, sports, entertainment and supply. 5.     Constant evaluation of the social support programs  El Financiero (2018)....

The project that Jung is presenting, is another solution to our main problems that we explained in other posts, it's that Mexicans can afford a real and a decent place to live. As Jungs says " Our mission is to help people access credit and affordable housing. This is accomplished at the community level, bringing neighbors together through savings & credit programs & aiding in the construction of each other’s homes. These efforts foster accountability & unity, providing pride of ownership not only in each family’s new home, but also in the investment they have made in the greater community."  As we can see this solution is not only based on the help people can offer to others, it's more about a self help, to grow and  maintain a stable way of living.

The article talks about the policies and actors sustainable housing, the future of sustainable housing in Mexico, how does the economy sector affects this, how does the health affects this, and how is that since the beginning of the process of urbanization, social housing in Mexico and Latin America policies.  The model house isolated that was built in the last decades, replicated thousands of times on the outskirts of the Mexican metropolis, defragment not only the cities but also life for Mexican families.  The negative impact on their built and natural environment, and those are very important issues, and it is related to our final project cause it touches all the important points we want to achieve, because we truly believe that if these proposals are taken into action the problem can be tackled, and with the time alleviated or even solved.
