Uno de ellos es el de la necesidad de mejorar el flujo vehicular. Pero eso no me convence. No todos los conductores que compran en los sem\u00e1foros detienen el tr\u00e1nsito, la gran mayor\u00eda lo hace sin causar ning\u00fan trastorno, mientras cambia la se\u00f1al. Siendo as\u00ed, no hay raz\u00f3n para multar a todos los que compran. Es como si para disminuir la contaminaci\u00f3n auditiva la Alcald\u00eda prohibiera la venta de trompetas. Otra justificaci\u00f3n posible est\u00e1 en la defensa del comercio formal. Si ese es el caso, la norma es un mico, porque nada tiene que ver con la regulaci\u00f3n del tr\u00e1nsito.<br \/>\nComo no creo que estas sean las verdaderas justificaciones del proyecto, vuelvo a lo que dije en el primer p\u00e1rrafo, esto es, que aquello que la norma parece buscar es la separaci\u00f3n entre la ciudad de los ricos y la de los pobres. Los ricos de Colombia quisieran vivir como los suizos, sin ver pobres. Quisieran que el espacio p\u00fablico al que salen para ir al trabajo fuera la continuaci\u00f3n de su espacio privado: moderno, bonito, ordenado\u2026 como en Ginebra. &#8232;&#8232;En Colombia la clase alta es el 6% de la poblaci\u00f3n, la media el 29% y la baja el 65%. Los ricos y los pobres viven en el mismo pa\u00eds y todos son colombianos pero, como ciudadanos, no se encuentran nunca: nacen en distintos barrios, van a distintas guarder\u00edas, a distintos colegios, a distintas universidades, a distintos trabajos, a distintos sitios de recreaci\u00f3n, a distintas oficinas p\u00fablicas, a distintos hospitales, a distintas iglesias, a distintos mercados y finalmente a distintos cementerios. Es como si el sitio del nacimiento de una persona determinara sus recorridos en la ciudad por el resto de su vida.&#8232;&#8232;La intolerancia, el radicalismo y la falta de consensos b\u00e1sicos en este pa\u00eds, tienen mucho que ver con el hecho de que las clases sociales nunca se encuentran; ni cuando estudian, ni cuando hacen fila, ni cuando protestan, ni cuando se divierten, ni cuando votan. Es cierto que nada de esto se soluciona dejando que los vendedores ambulantes sigan trabajando en los sem\u00e1foros. Pero por lo menos no se empeora, como s\u00ed ocurrir\u00eda en el evento de que la prohibici\u00f3n que establece el proyecto 087 se hiciera efectiva. &#8232;&#8232;Ahora bien, contra el argumento est\u00e9tico de quienes quieren ver una ciudad sin pobres, no pretendo oponer el argumento moral de quienes predican la caridad cristiana. Mi argumento no es ni \u00e9tico ni est\u00e9tico, sino de justicia social: las medidas que pretenden acabar con la pobreza, obligando a los pobres a trasladarse de un lugar a otro, no sirven, resultan contraproducentes y, como si fuera poco, son injustas. No hay que olvidar que en Colombia hay tres millones de desplazados y que una buena parte de ellos necesita vender en los sem\u00e1foros para poder mantener a sus familias. &#8232;&#8232;Si, como est\u00e1 demostrado, el Estado y la sociedad tienen una responsabilidad importante en la guerra que ha dado lugar a buena parte de ese desplazamiento, \u00bfc\u00f3mo es posible que ahora, despu\u00e9s de que los paramilitares les quitaron las tierras a los campesinos, el Estado quiera quitarles el trabajo? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rich neighborhoods of our cities bear a striking resemblance to the neighborhoods of Miami or of Barcelona.
