building "new towns", people and little people
Three articles that left me thinking a bad taste in the mouth and the truth that shows is that: neither the egg nor the interest are chepe, even pedestrian boulevards and . Not sure if it good or bad, but outlines a city and a country increasingly fragmented.
Here are the links
:
appears that this little country with all its benefits have emerged as one of the to realize and invest capital from various sources to build, but really the target audience is not widely the tico average. This mirage of 70% of construction seems not really for those who need it most.
People want
business, bussiness , the investor papudo to pay for the luxuries that the United States, you are going very expensive and the Costa Rican court trying to catch up and invest their capital . From residential to pensioners and upper classes gringos practices, summer houses on the coast, sea views, pools of three floors or invented from scratch cities and in the middle of nowhere, are the proposed real estate are increasingly away of the national situation, ensuring very quiet , security and exclusivity to your target audience. Ghettos houses, invented worlds for you pleasure and overspending in some classes living in a paradise invented, no one knows when it will burst.
Now it seems like in this article , going to do a small town in Escazú
, taking into account the "pedestrian" ... Haha
that gives me laughter. This project
truth turns my stomach, because more good intentions of mixing different uses (commercial, residential
, offices, leisure) and open proposals .. pedestrian design not only confirms that:
"The best places to invest at this time are not in San Jose downtown, but west and in general to the suburbs.
"Let no one (at par with the egg to invest) are interested in the city that already exists, its history, years of changes and processes .... prefer to create another ...
"Which is better to make a new city, but that if exclusive heterogeneous, for a profile of people ... erasing wealth of experience that has a neighborhood, a park, which means dealing with diverse types of people, professions, designs, textures smells ...
"That society is becoming more fragmented in places physically and mentally. The type of life experiences between people, for example the richest and poorest is infinitesimally contrasting in a city like San Jose, increasingly unequal ....
"Nobody wants to invest in the middle class ... because even for the poorest groups are full of proposals for housing bonds and state, INVU , etc ... but for the mass the intermediate or middle classes are on the edge, no one proposes, no one offers, or even see proposals for housing in the center as both have been talking about ... The land price is high, and to seek chante have to go to find land to ass in the world beyond the mountains Coronado or San Rafael de Tuculillo in Alajuela , or in a residencialuchos offering the dream life for the average clasecillas amid a vacant lot lost in the world.
Finally, the proposals follow the pattern unless otherwise directed (horizontal) and expending fertile land in the few still remaining in this beautiful valley. are going beyond where it recently had a coffee or a pasture where there are no basic services, no infrastructure, no security but nature, and course, the combo goes cart, because to leave the chute must travel 1 hour minimum, all the paraphernalia and electronic appliances to be getting bored with shelved in an area where there is nothing else to do it face to face in the room with flat screen TV .
All vendors,
investors, brokers have in mind the target audience with egg, with silver ...
the gringo imaginary (as said an article) foreign no longer endure their debts and want to live and finish his life in a Third World country
,
after having worked
like beasts a lifetime .... And the private and public banks go fighting to see who offers the best loans, amid a global crisis, no one knows where it goes!
This small Miami have inflated prices in a greedy speculation, because once someone a gringo sold something, there anyone wants lower prices, leaving the ticos no options ...
The truth should be regulated in some way what is happening ... But no, because the upper classes, and empresillas several are enjoying a great time with all this boom. Many sectors, are doing the business of their lives ... restaurants, gyms, private insurance, private banking, private hospitals, arrange boobs and surgeries of all kinds, clothing stores of the best shopping, makeup, cars, construction, appliances, light meals , ipods, seaside holiday included .... etc etc .... (etceteras many more) .. of course creating a dynamic economy , but a society can not or should not move only in terms of those who can pay high prices ... But this is the vaunted democratic capitalism and free trade ... we have to swallow with Vaseline. Some borrow up to the mother, trying to catch other thread, other Britain like dogs, for taking of property that will give them "happiness." Each one with what you dream to aspire.
The truth is sad. In a list of articles mention the areas where construction is more concentrated, and unfortunately Chepe center is not one of them, because who wants to invest in an area to give added value to the future, and although chepe it does, it's easier to throw it safe and not have hammocks and destitute neighboring ... If these gringos imaginary swarm the head of each tico.
Not to mention aspects mediomabientales
that this is bringing, or perhaps the conditions under which the employees are construction laborers, that nothing unusual has to work until 12 hours minimum labor conditions and each afternoon when they returned home in the slums of the city, not having either to fix the leak in the house
in which they live.
I leave these thoughts, as these little article left me thinking .. to see what you think ...
The first picture is in Sabana Norte, 2nd by Laureles Escazu, the third is Cuesta de Moras, the fourth against Multiplaza Pavas 5th, 6th in the AV4 in San Jose.
While some buy land and build new cities on the outskirts of San José, little by little they are seeing more vacant lots in decline, deteriorating houses that nobody wants to take over the city center. Will children or grandchildren of a generation that knew another San Jose and now just wants to get rid of the estate, a field embedded in the heart of the city. 
private properties certainly expect to be acquired by investors to be installed in the center, but for the moment seems not to have been at all the possibilities that life offers in the center, not willing to pay the asking price, or simply no interest. 
What I do know is that the square meter in the center is not playing, and if it's not speculation or what, but at this rate, the city going turning a vacant lot in abandonment, no man's land or maybe the crack heads that abound and do not pay rent or the right to floor, but as simple as the trash in the area. 
What it is that the bounce houses and open parking, the center has a few vacant lots in areas ruled by the ruins. Adobes, bahereques , bricks, tiles are among some of the materials and construction ways that are no longer used and that are exposed. 
As a parking there in the market Bourbon which has a tiled floor of those divine forms and colors of the houses of some 70 years ago at least and in some shops in the central avenue are still in those stores counter. 
Undeveloped land in agricultural terms but not urban. Do not create new spaces, or new home, or anything, just more darkness and solitude in the streets, and fear for the people you see walking when sunlight has left the city under the lights alone utility poles. 
Nothing, an issue that some time has been haunting me and I have collected these photos .. and many more ... lots more about me could devote to real estate chepe center of both batch and have launched home ... (the old cinema Calif., for right there is a complete corner threw .... What is it now? a parking lot! .. . and so with several super central points that are falling and nobody does anything to have a new life .....
