High Housing Costs and Political Gridlock Fuel Frustration in Uruguay Montevideo, Uruguay – Rising housing costs and a perceived lack of effective governance are fueling public discontent in Uruguay, according to recent social media posts. A TikTok video by user 'nano máquina' highlights the frustration felt by many Uruguayans, pointing to the high price of housing and the perceived lack of serious policy solutions. The video includes a segment from another TikTok user, @gustavogonzalezps, who uses the term 'mucha manija' (a lot of maneuvering) to describe the political situation. "They're charging 70,000 to 80,000 dollars for a house that's worth 20,000," says 'nano máquina' in the video, expressing his frustration with the system. @gustavogonzalezps adds, "There's a lot of political maneuvering, not enough serious work on projects that would actually help people." The comments highlight a growing concern about the affordability crisis and the need for politicians to prioritize concrete solutions to improve the lives of ordinary citizens. The widespread sharing of these videos suggests a need for open dialogue and effective policy reforms to address these issues.
