Kensingtonian,
You are correct…Argentina still has some serious economic and political issues. Their economy essentially collapsed back in 2000-01 and the value of their currency was significantly devalued. Argentina used to be one of the most expensive countries in the world…now…not to much. If you speak with the people there, they definitely have a lot to say on the issues, but to make up for the problems, it seems that the people have really come to live each day as if it’s the last, which is something I really appreciate. People are out all hours even during weeknights, the restaurants are packed at midnight and the nightlife (which I find to be utterly boring in NYC) is incredible there.
P.S. It’s not just the men who are beautiful…the women are EQUALLY stunning!
Exactly Pit, that price aint right to live like that. Hell no
i dont think 300 square feet is that small for a single simple person at all. i could live in 80 SF *and i did for 5 years on the les*. it;s the price for it that is obscene.
*rob*
Wheres dibs for the daily LOL@dibs show?
wow 11217, didn’t you pay double that slope coop for your hole in the wall? More investment advice please!
11217, thanks for the input. Do they still have gov’t issues as well as economic ones? I used to work for a small law firm that specializes in foreign trust and estates and most clients we had were either Brazilian or Argentinian. We had a couple of Argentinian clients who visited in 2000 and said you could literally pick up a million dollar apartment in Buenos Aires for 100K back at that time because the gov’t froze bank accounts for sometime to stabilize economy and wouldn’t let people take out large amounts of cash. You could only write checks for rents and such. So a lot of rich people who sat on real estate would sell at a fraction of the value just to cash out. Our Partners put a venture capital together and bought a whole bunch of real estate in Argentina. I left before I could find out how that panned out.
I gotta agree with you on the Argentinians being a good looking clan (eventhough I know we play for different teams).
Pit 11217 is the resident dolt
that 300 sft place is smaller then some jail cells, no joke. Just go break the law and you can have a place this size for free and free cable. 205 thousand for a cell in Brooklyn, this one will be discussed in case studies for years
Kensingtonian,
I’m still working on my Spanish…I wouldn’t call myself fluent yet, but I’m improving. Buenos Aires is just an amazing city…I’m such a New York lover, but I almost like it more than here. Real Estate there is super cheap…a 1 bedroom in a really nice area can be had for 100 – 150K (I’ve even seen some viable options for 80K). I’m in the Palermo district of BA with a ton of shopping/nightlife and restaurants…most with outdoor cafes…something I wish we had more of here. I couldn’t be more pleased. It’s an incredibly vibrant city with amazing food, architecture, nightlife and the people are absolutely STUNNING! I can’t reiterate that last point enough…it’s actually shocking how beautiful the Argentinian people are. It’s the perfect mix of European and Latin cultures.
