In the past, there used to be small real estate firms that specialized in nice properties, catered toward expats or at least not listing the usual anonymous modern monoambiente or ugly apartments from the '60s. The websites I had bookmarked five years ago are down and ZonaProp/ArgenProp do not...

Prices are going up like crazy but people here are used to crazy inflation so that's why I think these places will continue to run on higher prices because people are used to and expect prices to go up every month or so. A lot of people won't change their habits because of these price increases...

I am not forgetting the family and friends and that is why I specifically said that "I am not belittling murder" a comment most readers here seem to ignore. What I was saying was that PERSONALLY to people, those that go through, say, robberies at gun point remember that more than the people who...

Mark, having read other posts from you on this forum, I have a feeling this isn't going to be much of a debate. Anyway, here's my take on the reported numbers related to crime. I have not lived in or extensively visited other major cities in South America so I can't speak for them but in Buenos...
