The commune 13 does not have one more tourist: noise, chaos and fights

In the Las Independencia neighborhood, in the commune 13, the houses increasingly lose more space.What yesterday was a terrace, today is a bar;Where children ran, today there is a warehouse of caps, t -shirts and souvenirs. El estruendo del conflicto, recordado por todos con horror, fue reemplazado por el jolgorio de los turistas, los equipos altoparlantes y la voz de los raperos.

At the beginning everything was optimism: the neighborhood that resurfaced from the ashes to be an example of overcoming.But today, despite the fact that businesses have proliferated and everyone has found an entrepreneurship, things seem to have gone out of control."We lost the course," says a social leader of the sector.

The situation of the commune is dual.On the one hand, its inhabitants have undertaken all kinds of businesses, from art galleries to coffees.But, on the other, they have suffered the consequences of a tourism that became massive over time and that already wreaks havoc.

The average hillside viaduct illustrates well what happens.His space has been invaded by business and noise is unbearable.Each one takes out their speaker and the vallenato is combined with the reggaeton and the “mixtures” of the boys in the RX consoles.

"As a worker, the thing is very good," says Johana Marín, who attends a small bar, "but, as a inhabitant, it is increasingly difficult.My sister -in -law had to finish pregnancy elsewhere, because the noise of here had it stressed.
