The urban hellscape known as Buenos Aires has been fighting a war on the manteros, street vendors, many of whom often place their (often cheap or stolen) goods on carpets on the floor, taking up part of the sidewalk. Also, most are Boliguayans and other undesirables.
They'd have to pay me to live in that city so vile it even has niggers; but it's nice to see small changes like these are being done to improve quality of life for people.
