This certainly signals positives if banks are lending to people and people feel confident to buy with mortgages. I wonder how easily it is to evict someone if they stop paying their mortgage. My husband said it is virtually impossible to get someone out of the property if they stop paying rent...

Nothing really seems to have changed with the plan to cut big government and cut down on the regulations but it seems like the government needs a big win in the elections coming up in October.

I think it is ok for locals or even expats to complain about prices. My husband worked in Argentina a few decades ago and he said that the locals LOVE to complain about everything. It is probably logical for people to vent about higher cost of living. However that won't make prices go down.

I am American. We stayed in Recoleta at the Park Hyatt hotel. It was very nice. I will admit that we did not venture around too much besides going out to eat. My husband was going down for work and we did the normal touristy things. Mostly spent time in Recoleta which I did not see many...

Yum yum. What dish is that?

I couldn't find a good hot dog. We ate chorizos which were very good. Our son loved Chori in Palermo Soho but he was dying to eat just a plain hot dog. We actually went to the supermarket to look but all we saw where pale colored hotdogs that I am not sure what they were made out of. In the...

I am surprised to hear people speaking so negatively about the food in BA. I went last year and had amazing meal after amazing meal. Every place we went to was very good. I found a difficult time finding very good seafood but other than that we could find high end delicious food there. I am not...

That is funny. People talk about how bad BA is with phones but I didn't see anyone getting their phones taken during my 2 week trip. I heard 10,000 phones a day are stolen there. I guess we were lucky.

It has been like this for a long time. My brother in law is going through the buying process now looking to buy a condo in Buenos Aires and he is facing the same thing with owners wanting to declare fake lower prices.

Is this chart accurate? So if you bought this crypto in April (just 6 months ago) it is worth less than half it's value???

No one is happy paying taxes. However, not too much you can do other than what you are doing leaving the USA, evading taxes and getting a second passport. Now I understand why you want an Argentine passport. Most Americans don't have the courage or will to do something like this.

I just read your other post about not wanting to pay your US taxes to the IRS. Understand your reasons for not wanting to pay but this goes back to what I mentioned, that probably most of the people that want second passports are criminals or breaking the law. Not paying the IRS is a crime. No...

Be grateful at least there is good quality coffee in Buenos Aires now. My husband lived in BA during the last 90's and he said the coffee was terrible! They didn't have all of the better quality coffee like today. Most of it was very bitter and very poor quality he said. I would rather pay...

Have rental prices really jumped up 243%? Is that year over year?

I lived in Argentina during the period when it was very expensive. Taxi drivers back then were making about $35,000 to $40,000 US dollars per year. We loved Argentina even when it was very expensive but our $ went much further after the big crash. We were still making US dollar incomes but...

Sounds like a great service! I could have used this during my trip!

Caputo is a smart businessman. My husband worked with Mr. Caputo while we lived in Buenos Aires. I am sure that risk/reward were thought of ahead of time.

While wine was very affordable. It should be mentioned, there are also some more expensive bottles of wine. We were at Don Julio with my husband's work colleagues and we had several $100 USD bottles of wine too. They were excellent but after reading all of these posts on cheap wines I feel...

Things are improving. Argentina has a fiscal surplus for the first time in 16 years. Government spending has been reigned in. Laws have changed, Omnibus law was passed. Inflation is slowing down. You can't try to downplay all the tremendous changes going on in Argentina right now.

We were going to try those city bikes as my kids wanted to do it but we were worried about the condition on some of them. I wouldn't imagine anyone would want to steal those but then again you never know. What happens if someone steals one of those? Does the company charge you for it?
