	Villa miseria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A villa miseria is a form of shanty town or slum found in Argentina, mostly around the largest urban settlements.
		In most cases, of course, the villa miseria is populated by the children and grandchildren of the original settlers, who have been unable to raise their economic status.
		Villas miseria are considered by most citizens as havens for criminals from minor thieves to drug dealers.

		As we toured the Costanera Sur villa with Betti, he got a call on his cell phone about a dispute between two of the largest housing cooperatives on what organizing strategy the Federation of Housing Co-ops should adopt.
