argentina

argentina is currently in a housing crisis. over the past year the production of "emergency villages" have increased by 25%. they now house more than 200,000 people. as the total population of argentina continues to grow, more of these "villlages" are becoming necessary. in 2009 alone, the argentine government has invested $55 million on these homes. the government estimates 70% of the people in these villages are made up of recent immigrants. expansion of these villages has become such a problem that the government has prohibited trucks from entering so more building supplies could not continue the expansion of the village.
