Playa del Carmen's Villas del Sol subdivision is the most densely populated area in the city. The high population density necessitates the availability of public spaces for residents. However, during Roxana Lili's administration, these spaces were sold off to private individuals, effectively reducing the available community areas.
In the final phase of her term, the mayor privatized several public spaces. This move significantly impacted the Villas del Sol subdivision, which is the most densely populated residential area in the municipality. One of the areas sold was a green space that locals frequently used to rest under the trees and escape the intense heat.
Just hours before the end of her term, plywood boards were erected around the site, denying residents access. This sudden move has led to uncertainty about what will be constructed in the area.
In her final hours as mayor, Roxana Lili's sale of these lots took the residents of the subdivision by surprise. They were not expecting such a move. Questions remain about the selling price of these lots and how the funds from the sale will be used.
