The mayor of Hialeah, Esteban Bovo, warned that the use of trailers as rental homes is illegal and is creating a "solar situation" in that South Florida city.
In an interview given to the Enrique Santos program, Bovo referred to the fact that investments by people who buy houses to put trailers (RV) have increased, and rent them as a home for more than 1,000 dollars.
"The same person who lives in Pembroke Pines, Miami Lakes, Coral Gable or Miami Springs buys a house in Hialeah, has no intention of living in Hialeah or being part of the life of Hialeah, but he has it as an investment. What happens in the long term? , they are creating a situation that is vulgarly like a lot in the neighborhood," he said, referring to the Cuban term used for quarters.
He states that this situation affects other neighbors who also want to protect their investment: "Because what happens, you are my neighbor and next to me you put two trailers, plus a rotating door because maybe you have divided a house into several parts, for two or three families," he said.
"They are creating a situation that we have to address," stressed Bovo, who said that the city supports the use of trailers only for vacation purposes.
"If you have it to go on vacation, I congratulate you; but if you have it for an illegal activity where there are people living, you are creating a potential problem for the city and for all your neighbors. The complaints are coming, when we have met with residents of the city ask mayor, what are we going to do with the trailers, there are too many," he noted.
In this regard, he stressed that people who want to invest to be part of Hialeah's history will be welcome; the one who is trying to help his family, they will be understood and supported; But those who want to "invest in Hialeah without thinking about living in Hialeah, and only profit" will not be tolerated.
He considered that this third case "is not fair; we must also respect those who invested in Hialeah to live in the city and created their family there."
These statements arise in the context of the immigration crisis that has thrown thousands of Latino immigrants to Miami-Dade, who prefer to live in the most Spanish-speaking city in the United States.
The massive arrival of immigrants has generated an increase in house rental prices. Social media rental sites show ads where a room with a private bathroom costs $1,000 or more, with furniture and utilities included, and although rates have dropped in some areas,Miami continues with very high prices.
