Decalogue for a "shock" of sustainable territorial development.
Preliminary note: it is recommended that this Decalogue be articulated with "Housing - Urban Planning as a collaborator.
1. Human development, labour, housing and habitat with fiscal surplus.
We have multiplied poverty many times over in just a few years. And beyond the need for unavoidable structural reforms in the areas of taxation, pensions, foreign exchange, labour, customs, finance, integration into the global economy and other relevant issues, the idea with which the state believes it is fighting poverty must be reviewed, because the result of what it does is either innocuous or directly increases it.
This forces the questioning of multiple institutional, state and community actors, with special attention to the media and academic sectors, who demand actions that do not serve to resolve the dilemma of an under-productive people and a state that fails to create jobs and structural wealth, where the prevailing paradigm is one of redistribution, with some, less and less, transferring a share of the product to others, more and more.
Churches, trade unions, social organisations, chambers and business associations, teachers and health workers, public employees, armed and security forces and the entire working sector or the so-called "social" environment, are immersed in a FEROUS DISTRIBUTIVE GAP, of poor against poor, and not in a PRODUCTIVE PROJECT.
And these sectors must be integrated into a programme of concrete actions to produce structural wealth, with ample capacity to create more labour supply than the number of workers to be employed, and more value than cost, from which all sectors benefit.
With immediacy, because if these structural reforms are carried out, Argentina's participation in the global economy will happen in a few years, but investment, employment and wealth must be generated urgently, since the lack of upward social mobility and employment, social tension and the fiscal deficit are some of the main limitations for these reforms to be implemented and maintained until they produce the results expected of them.
Therefore, from PLAN PAÍS ARGENTINA, we propose this set of territorial development and habitat policies WITHOUT FISCAL COST, in order to collaborate with the possibility that these reforms and above all the unavoidable productive policies, can take place. Given that we MUST STOP ISSUING MONEY AND GENERATING DEBT as soon as possible.
It is therefore proposed to boost credit models for families and communities in sectors with the will and capacity to pay, which will generate all the quality work needed to overcome the crisis and the Fiscal Deficit model in the short term.
We propose a specific model that resolves the formal aspects of all the popular neighbourhoods that were settled on encroached land where ONE MILLION families built the spaces where they live without papers or credit, so we will provide them with credit and papers. If they proved to be able to build their neighbourhoods without that, imagine what they could have done and still can do, if the State, instead of mistreating them, trusts each and every one of them, implementing a simple model so that in the very short term they can buy the land they occupied in instalments, resolving relevant issues for the usurped owners, the municipalities, the provinces and the public utilities companies.
tariffed.
All in instalments and in very small amounts compared to the enormous benefit of going from usurper to owner and with a comprehensive service provision plan financed by the neighbours themselves and without overpricing.
Beyond these so-called popular neighbourhoods, the UNSATISFIED DEMAND that all sectors have (WANT) in terms of housing: new, extensions, DENSIFICATION AND SUBDIVISION IN PH, renovations, asphalt, pavements, curbs, sewers in Maschwitz, Parque Leloir or City Bell or where they are missing, running water, electricity supply, rural roads, conversion of shopping streets in open air shopping malls, natural gas that is not distributed in entire provinces, etc.., generating a shock of relevant job creation, with the improvement of the real salary implied by the higher demand and with all the companies producing inputs and concessionaires of public services involved in the expansion of their networks, with GENUINE financing.
2,000 CLUBS, OWNED BY HUNDREDS OF GUILDS OR ASSOCIATIONS
PROFESSIONALS AND CIVILIANS, are suitable for developing excellent condominiums taking advantage of some of the football pitches or other spaces that today have little use, on land where these and other facilities abound such as perimeter fences, administration, restaurant, barbecues, pantry, access with surveillance, swimming pools and solariums and everything necessary to give a first class residential offer to this working sector.
This would complete the offer without extending low-quality cities but consolidating the existing one with sustainable densification. And that supported by the financial and banking sector, they can make inclusive and profitable businesses for each and every one of the intervening parties.
2. Not to create more pesos, but to direct all the prerogatives and institutional powers of the state towards generating demand for the money that already exists.
For this we propose a model of REAL REMUNERATION OF SAVINGS IN PESOS, without any kind of fiscal cost and on the contrary, with a real fiscal surplus, which allows in the short term, to withdraw pesos from the market when the usual game of the economy makes them pass through the AFIP and this can transfer them to the Treasury so that this in turn delivers them to the BCRA for their destruction.
3. This should be clearly communicated to the chambers of large companies and SMEs.
We need to kick-start production of what we can do well. Without subsidy and lowering taxes as fast as we can. No other commitment is required than to WORK and provide work, in each and every municipality of the country. Knowing that demand must be added in the production of structural wealth and not in the import of consumer goods, which will depend on increasing export capacity.
4. The trend towards full employment and fiscal surplus must be our real social development policy.
We must put an end to the fallacy that sensitive states are insolvent and solvent states are insensitive. As is true in all democratic, socially and economically developed countries.
5. Credit should be targeted at all sectors.
Middle and upper middle class, popular neighbourhoods, slums and settlements. Because work has to be created and everything that the upper and middle classes are willing to pay for, is an improvement in the supply of work, so it has to be financed (ALWAYS AT A POSITIVE RATE AND AT THE COST OF THOSE WHO BENEFIT DIRECTLY).
6. The state at all levels must be collaborative and put all its power in the hands of communities and families to generate activity and positive changes in people's lives.
To set this in motion, a simple "National Programme for the Promotion of Social Urbanisation Trusts, Extension of Tariffed Service Networks and Housing at Cost" that can be institutionally housed in the Banco Nación, Hipotecario or in one of the various Ministries with the type of remit is sufficient. Inducing local governments to migrate from the demand and management of "a non-repayable, discretionary and unsustainable budget for public spending" to one of "financing any investment that represents value for their community and is willing to pay for it in easy instalments". Communicating this clearly, to the population at large.
7. No more "blood, sweat and tears" as an institutionalist slogan.
The idea that more blood, sweat and tears of those who have long bled, sweated and wept are indispensable inputs for a sustainable development project must be banished.
We must produce work that generates joy and fulfilment for all sectors involved in production.
8. Social Assistance should not be confused with Human Development.
Those who need it for valid reasons should receive assistance from the State to improve their quality of life, through a policy of SOCIAL ASSISTANCE, which should be in the hands of other relevant teams, and which should not overlap with SUSTAINABLE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. And we recommend PROHIBITING BY LAW the distorting welfare system, which, by giving away crumbs, prevents the massive production of real goods and services.
9. Available instruments and inescapable concepts on the urban planning style to be developed in all cases.
In agreement with our ally coconstructor Consultora Tecnopolítica we recommend two models of ordinance that are being implemented in different cities and provinces. And that we offer for consideration for their specific adaptation, as a technical political resource that invites implementations and projects to be executed in each and every one of the Argentinean cities, since in none of them is there more housing, infrastructure or employment than necessary.
