The city is busy repairing sidewalks, curbs and public plazas in the run-up to the June 28th elections. I regularly follow the flickr stream of nif who posts photos of the subways and reprints any article relating to them or infrastructure. The other day he reposted an article in which former mayor and current congressional candidate Anibal Ibarra accuses current mayor Mauricio Macri of stopping construction of additional subway lines and using the money for so-called superficial projects such as sidewalk repair and park restoration. Even after 3 years in Argentina I don't feel qualified to comment on politics here altho it does strike me that repairing sidewalks is an easy job with quick results; just the kind of project a politician with a short time horizon is likely to pursue. Now if they could just do something about the dog poop...
