No more subsidies for fancy neighborhoods — fair or not?

I read that Milei is planning to cut electricity and gas subsidies for people living in gated communities, private neighborhoods, and high-end areas across the country.
Just to name a few, Puerto Madero, Recoleta, Palermo, Belgrano, and all the fancy areas in Buenos Aires are under the spotlight.
From what I understand, the idea is to stop giving subsidies to people who clearly don’t need them. Instead of just looking at declared income, they’re also going to consider where you live.
Personally, I think it’s fair to remove subsidies from people with more resources. It doesn’t make sense for everyone to pay the same when we’re not all in the same situation.
Honestly, I didn’t think people living in those high-end areas were still getting subsidies 🤦‍♀️

What do you think?

Should people who earn more, pay more?

Más que Puerto Madero: Milei va a quitarle los subsidios a la luz y gas a countries, barrios cerrados y zonas caras de todo el país

El Gobierno incorporará un nuevo criterio de exclusión en el esquema de segmentación por ingresos de los subsidios a la luz y el gas. La Secretaría de Energía buscará la colaboración de las provincias para georreferenciar zonas de alto poder adquisitivo

Totally agree, in most countries, people with higher incomes pay more, and that’s how it should be. It makes no sense for someone living in a luxury neighborhood to get the same subsidies as someone who’s barely making it to the end of the month.

If you can afford to live in a gated community or a fancy area, then you can definitely afford to pay full price for utilities. Public support should go to those who actually need it. That’s just basic fairness.

According to the Buenos Aires city government website, since 2011, all public schools have been teaching English starting from first grade.

Maybe it’s just basic English, but still, it’s a required subject in the school curriculum.
