This has me in tears, I left to europe cuz I couldn't pay my bills as a student living alone in BSAS, but I miss the city so much, it took me 2 years just to accept I wasn't going back soon, I miss having a cultural center in every corner, the dozens of independent theatres, my beloved University of Buenos Aires, I miss the feeling of a city that is alive. I hope one day I can go back to what I still consider my favourite city, maybe even be a teacher at a public university if things work out. Great video.
I only spent one day in Buenos Aires but loved it. I feel Argentina is one country that feels weirdly familiar to the US of any non-English speaking country. (and the "southern cone" in general). I honestly feels like it could be the latin American city that is most like Chicago (grew up in the outlying suburbs). (massive grid on a flat plain with prairie/pampas beyond, beautiful architecture built 100 years ago, some which could use a little upgrade/restoration, many areas away from the core downtown that are poor and high crime, etc.) A massive city made up of different Europeans that immigrated there over the past 100 years, old beautiful buildings, built in European style, some which show they've seen better days, in a country with a MASSIVE territory with a "frontier" history that include "rugged frontiersman" (cowboys/gauchos) and indigenous people living in the most naturally beautiful and remote parts of the country feels familiar, even if I only Spanish rather poorly.
Hello, I am from Argentina, and you are not so wrong in what you say, I always knew that Argentina is very similar to the US, both in the city of Buenos Aires as well as its area of cowboys or gaucho fields, I like American culture and we are similar, a territorially huge nation, a lot of immigration from all over the world, few years of history, native indigenous people, etc. Certainly until the 40's Argentina was very prosperous but everything fell! The USA continued to grow, they owe everything to their constitution, hopefully they continue to respect them!! greetings!
Something you didn't take in mind and have a huge impact in the economy was the opening of the Panama Channel in 1904. Bs As was the last port before crossing to the Pacific Ocean and ships from everywhere docked for a fews days, stock supplies and keep going.
As a porteño of some years, I've seen the City's quality of living has been decreasing slowly but firmly. It's easy to find it better than the rest of the country, as Peronism continues to ruin it, but the last 3 years it had a downwards spiral. Plenty of businesses went broke, criminality is up and hobos are everywhere. The gobernor of the city of course deny it, but it's easy to talk a walk and see it by your own means But more important, is the eductional level of most of the population here that's far removed from other global cities. For example, if you asked "which music do you listen to?", most would answer reggaeton or some local trap artists unknown to the rest of the world bar Latin America and Spain. If you like other genre like I don't know, heavy metal, the look you can get is of deep contempt. It is hard to find families that have bookshelves. Partying all week is the norm, disregarding job and hobbies. If you diverge from that obligatory path, you get very lonely. It's not a city open for variety of ideas. The European architecture is slowly dissapearing. Not only because of speculation, but because people say "It's old, so it sucks". So they demolish a palace to build a generic building with a pool. The city we want BA to be is no longer Paris, it's Miami.
Thanks for sharing that. Sorry to say it seems anti-intellectualism is a growing trend around the world. The gov of Florida (DeSantis) being a prime example.
Agree 100%, I'm afraid these cultural milestones on libraries and theaters and therapists will soon go away, and we'll get near the south american levels.

I can answer this for you. The city is huge and diverse. You could spend your entire life and not visit every aspect of the city. The people are proud and the culture is incredible. It truly is a unique place. My perspective comes from my 6 month study abroad there.
Awesome video, heading here in May for a week and have been doing quite a bit of research. You should also do some work on Bogota, Lima, and Mexico City! I've been to all and I've enjoyed them.
Great video. BA's remoteness might well become its biggest asset in the coming decades, as the challenges in the overpopulated north become more acute. The story of BA's fall from extreme wealth to decades of dysfunction and instability is one that I fear we will see many other cities following in the years to come.
I spent a semester in BA and live in Chicago now and while I'd say overall Chicago feels a bit more first world, there are plenty of ways in which BA already feels more so, particularly given changes in the past few years. Crime is more frequent and extreme in Chicago, public transit far slower and less reliable...I think in the next couple decades Chicago and other US cities will see the decline in cleanliness and building maintenance, plus rates of inflation, that will make them more resemble typical BA conditions of today
great video, but why the generic central american music when talking about Tango in Argentina??😅 Also for anyone wondering, Buenos Aires has the highest percentage of Italian immigrants in the world, to the point that the language itself is quite "Italian sounding" in its melody, very beautiful.
It doesn't just sound Italian; we borrowed many words from the XIX century Italian peninsula dialects; check "Lunfardo." We also "speak with our hands," which is very culturally Italian. According to the "ius sanguinis" principle of the Italian citizenship legislation, at least half the Argentine population is also Italian. Many people have dual Argentine/Italian or Argentine/Spaniard citizenship.
Tango is no longer listen to, nor rock or pop. It's mostly Caribbean music everyday, all day. Think of reggaeton and similar genres. There is almost no variety.
The World's most southern mega city - Buenos Aires - is NOT just one of the best places to live in Latin America but also in all of America, including Anglo-America. Been to all those countries except Central America. Love Argentina 🇦🇷, Canada 🇨🇦 and Brazil 🇧🇷.
@@S5Dic09 : It is politically incorrect to use the Anglo-American invented term “Third World” not to mention arrogant. Buenos Aires is cleaner, more sophisticated and greener than any of the boring cities in the so called “developed world”. Look at Detroit, Baltimore, Liverpool…errr filthy, ugly, filled with McDonalds and Burger Kings…not to mention dangerous..you just will never know if you’re going to be shot at or choke-held by brutal police…that's the definition of third world to me.

I enjoyed this because I have a soft spot for "BsAs", having visited there twice. In this and several other recent TDC videos I inhale them as if they were a breath of fresh air because they're balanced without pushing a narrative that favors the left. They don't particularly favor the political right either. Balanced is the word that comes to mind. I like it. Kudos.
The left never ruled here. We are where we are due to the US influence. It's not by chance that we are the country with the biggest debt to the IMF. As someone who is about to become an economic migrant, your comment is so infuriating.
@@sebastianbardon391 You are where you are because you deserve to be there due to massive corruption. You did it to yourselves. Blaming all your never-ending troubles on the US is a juvenile exculpatory fantasy. What a shame that your magnificent country is a klepto-democracy.
@@gnolan4281 Well, do you know about the Operation Condor? The CIA orchestrated regime changes in the region, our national debt skyrocketed during the dictatorship. Ofc there are local complicits but who buys them? The US has fingers all across the region. Anyone moving to the left becomes the enemy of the markets. We can't be free, we are not sovereign.
BA is indeed a very beautiful city that was once one of the greatest in the world, but now, due to South America's constant economic instability and a heavy dependence on simple products like comodities, struggles to develop and achieve its true potential. Like Brazil, Argentina is a country of the future that never happens.
Buenos Aires has long achieved its true potential. Its subway metro was done in 1908 (1904 in New York and 1900 in Paris). True, high inflation is the result of decades of "peronismo" policies, now about to be changed by Milei. Over the decades, a lot of progress has occurred in Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, etc. I truly believe that these are indeed the countries of the future, to which increasingly a lot of Europeans and Asians are flocking to at this time,
Any Portenos here! Insist your economy focus more on semiconductor production. I love you and I have wanted to visit since at least 1999. One day I will come and I want you to succeed. An American -
One critique take out the salsa background music you put at some point, put Tango instead. The rest is probably the most factually accurate video I have seen about Buenos Aires.
Nice video, a couple of observations: - public funded universities located in the city are actually federally funded, not by the city administration (which has a very anti public education agenda). - transgender rights and gay marriage have nothing to do with 1994 Constitution reform and they are not exclusive to Buenos Aires. They were sanctioned in 2010 by the peronist government of Cristina Kirchner at national level. - transport is far from ideal for such a big city. In fact, subte grid is very lacking and not a single kilometer was constructed in the last decade. Again, good video. I love my city and I wouldn't change it for any other in the world.
Siempre un kuka tergiversando la realidad.... la Ciudad no es anti educación pública.. al contrario quiere hacer que el magisterio sea una carrera universitaria no un terciario pedorro... los derechos lgbt vienen con la lucha de grandes referentes desde los 80 s, la ley no fue sancionada por Kretina, fue al Congreso a ser debatida y votada como corresponde en una República con división de poderes, de hecho el proyecto no era de ella, como tampoco lo fue el de la AUH cuya autoría es de Carrio. Respecto al subte estaría bueno que aclares que Kretina unilateralmente le encajó el subte a la Ciudad sin darle fondos e incluso sacándole coparticipación cada vez que puede, incluso teniendo en cuenta que miles de argentinos provenientes del conurbano lo usan, al igual q el sistema de salud de la Ciudad. Contala como quieras pero hecho mata relato, no quieras reescribir la historia, no sé si lo haces por ingenuidad y lavado de cerebro pensando que la historia comienza con Nestor o lo haces con malicia mintiendo, cosa que sería infinitamente peor y peligrosa...
We have to take in consideration, that now there is at least a 25 more very big cities in SA , so the opportunity of trading goods, is there. I don't think they depand on Europe
You seem to be missing the fact that all South American countries produce the exact same things. There’s no point on selling Soybeans (Argentina’s main export) to Brazil or Paraguay, when those two countries also produce tons of soybeans to export. It’s the same for beef, wheat, corn and most primary products. This isn’t Europe, we don’t have huge manufacturing capabilities. Brazil and Argentina have the largest industries in the region, and do a lot of trade between themselves, but we are far from being the European market.
The opening of the Panama Canal condemned many South American nations to poverty. Bear in mind that only 10% of the world's population lives south of the equator and therefore the major centres of consumption are in the north. The canal made transport cheaper and therefore South American products were no longer attractive. But all is not lost. If you can't compete on price, you have to compete on quality. This is what countries like New Zealand and Australia have done. And this is the path that Argentina, Uruguay and Chile should follow.
I am not sure I agree with this at all. There has been lot of progress in Southern American countries and cities especially over the last 1-2 decades, including the city of Asuncion in Paraguay. Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Santiago de Chile, Southern Brazil, even Lima are largely first world, with of course some pockets of third world, which are also found in inner city Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, southeast Atlanta, Paris, Rome, etc. You need to update your information and get rid of stereotypes. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city, indeed the Paris of South America, actually better in my opinion,
@@jgonz260 I I lived in South America for ten years. My comment is historical rather than contemporary. Of course the South American countries, some more, some less, adapted to the new situation during the 20th century. But it is evident from the statistics of GDP and economic growth that the region declined right after the opening of the canal.
OK, I accept all that. All I am saying is that in the 21st. Century there has been a lot of progress in these countries. Buenos Aires has an old world historic charm up until the present although it has suffered obviously from persistent inflation, as pointed out elsewhere. It appears Milei is trying to correct this situation,
There seems to an economic rot in Argentina which is related to the political class and corruption. I hope that Argentina can change, but the rot is measured by the almost continuous, persistent high inflation. There is a serious financial structural issue that needs a deep fundamental reform. Given the past performance of several decades, I doubt that Argentina can get out of the hole. There is something deeply flawed in the political culture that resists the needed change.
@@drimastermaster1911 Never been there or studied it extensively but to have that kind of inflation and currency problems for so long reveals a very serious and deep flaw in the system.
Always since the end of the 19th Century Buenos Aires wants to be a European city in South America and in the Americas. For one reason my city,I'm from Buenos Aires, was called the Paris of South America

Argentina has been in economic crisis, some say, for at least 7 decades. Still, they manage to be second in terms of quality of life and HDI in latinamerica, only behind Chile. It's amazing.
@@nestorsalinas3311 el que está en profunda decadencia es y sigue siendo Argentina con la inflación en 84%. Chile siempre a estado mas arriba en hdi y ni hablar del sueldo minimo que es casi el doble del argentino.
I'll answer the last question. "Stop inflation". It's been the constant from 1949 until 1992-2001 period, and since from then. A retirement pension is roughly 150 dollars a month. Any imported good or component doble its price within a year or less. Unions cannot match salaries at the inflation rate, and any raise whatsoever, pushes up inflation too. As an Argentine myself I feel I have wasted all my life in a country that only makes you poor.
Really Buenos Aires hasn't 17 millions, only 3, aproximately. Another thing is the Great Buernos Aires, which are satelit cities. This conglomerate reaches, with Buenos Aires, 17 millions
3:51 Fake map. The Mapuche in viridic history never had much land in central Argentina. The other limits, it's "ok". And 3:11 that's not Tango, it looks more like salsa or similar. Great job, nice video.
The only city in the continent of America that is actually worth living in. NY, Chicago and Los Angeles are too expensive and the cheap neighborhoods are cesspools. Buenos Aires is no NYC but it's better in terms of livinf standards and captures that slow paced European feel.
Bold to say that a city with a 30% of people under the line of poverty (arg stats) and with entire neighbourhoods without acces to safe drinking water has better living standards than, NY or LA.
@@jotocaful I wouldn't put my neck out into saying the water in New York is exactly safe. You don't travel much do you? Take a trip to the Bronx and South Chicago. You'll be impressed that about 30%-45% of people live in poverty.
La Argentina always spends more than it earns because for over 80 years it has continued to create rights that someone has to pay for, and increasing taxes and regulations to make it increasingly difficult to legally start a business and create genuine employment. This means that, due to the lack of financing, we unfortunately keep accumulating debt as a country and do not honor our debts. As a result, we print a large amount of national currency without backing it up, causing the poor to suffer from inflation, resulting in more poverty and a shrinking middle class, causing wealth to flee the country.
this is really poorly written, one idea fails to connect to the other in any meaningful way, and you didn't even use actual tango music while trying to describe it....sheesh describing military coups as "revolts" is not only irresponsible, but further reveals the utter failure to comprehend the underlying forces that shaped the history of this city. I've honestly never reacted so negatively to a video - this should be taken down it is that poorly done
@@eugeniovazquez1790 so basiclly they're southamericans living in a south america country, and sadly but true the one southamerican country with the highest inflation rate only after venezuela, and accordig to statistics 2 out of 3 argentinians are in porverty, that doesn't sound like findland to me.
@@adolfomercado6205 Nonetheless Eugenio is right. First of all during the "good years" immigration from bordering countries is huge because even with the economical problems there are more opportunities to get a job in Buenos Aires, second, they don`t leave when things are not so good. And yes, the villas are mainly inhabitated by bolivians and peruvians or people with immediate background in those nacionalities. The 2/3 of Argentinians being poor statistics is based on official information data, which of course doesn`t count the under the table economy, being it a big portion of the pie. I would say you never set one foot in this country, which it does have its problems, but it is by far not as bad as described, even when of course this is not Finland, although the weather is a lot nicer than in that country
@@TheDailyConversation Thanks for answer. Your videos are my trips to abroad and My info for cities. I have friends on some of them. So very good to know things. 🙂 My favourite is Tokyo. But i like them all.
The "Europe in the Americas" is just because of ONE tiny neighborhood called Recoleta in Capital Federal (not even Buenos Aires as the whole state), wich is no more than 10 blocks around. I can assure you that nothing in Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires is like Europe... But this is one of many things that arent true but we keep saying it because its kinda a ritual passed from generation to generation. "Columbus discorvered the Americas".

People here praising BA are totally clueless. It really isn’t that similar to Europe it’s much dirtier, homeless people everywhere, rude service workers, crappy economy, and the people are just very rude.
Argentina needs to dollarize and declare Bitcoin as legal tender. The "competition of currencies" as championed by the presidential candidate Milei. Argentinos need to vote for the money they want to use and put all other political issues on the back burner. It cannot be understated how much this is the most hair on fire problem they are facing with 100% inflation. Vote for whoever will eliminate the corrupt Central Bank.
Not so much. The centre of Buenos Aires is business and commercial. It is not residential. While it is true, as in any big city, that there are dangerous areas, rich people do not live in the city, but outside it in the north and northeast of the city.
@@meatmoneymilkmonogamyequal5583 Yo vivo en Belgrano que esta alejado del centro y acá todos los moradores somos clase media o clase media alta, te estas equivocando en la radiografía de Bs As.

El centro como te dijeron en la zona de oficinas si tiene cerca dos de los barrios más caros de la ciudad pero la ciudad tienen otras zonas alejadas que son buenas para vivir y son más residenciales.
I live in a neighborhood in the city of Buenos Aires called Saavedra, it is beautiful, quiet, green and with plenty of infrastructure. As usually happens on the web, you say any nonsense
the Europe of America??? I'll give you a piece of information, Buenos Aires is smaller than CDMX, in Argentina only its capital has European-style buildings in one part, CDMX has a greater number of European-style buildings, and the whole country has European-style buildings and neighborhoods, therefore In size it is abysmally more European than the quantities that you find in Mexico in all its states with this style of construction. It was not for nothing that it was the strategic center of the Europeans when they arrived in America, and its guella is more noticeable than any country in America. you need to know more.

@@javiervisnovezky6842 Bueno, respeto tu perspectiva en el asunto.. Realmente no es que haya venido a comentar para cambiar de idea a nadie y es verdad que logicamente hay empresarios o gente con poder en el privado que son corruptos, pero esa gente tiene ese poder por que el estado es lo que lo permitio en primer lugar... Yo no digo que la sociedad se regule sola, el estado debe existir obviamente por que hay cosas que debe garantizar, pero hay que reducirlo mucho mas de lo que es ahora, por que actualmente el estado nos tiene a todos agarrados del cuello.

I can answer this for you. The city is huge and diverse. You could spend your entire life and not visit every aspect of the city. The people are proud and the culture is incredible. It truly is a unique place. My perspective comes from my 6 month study abroad there.

Awesome video, heading here in May for a week and have been doing quite a bit of research. You should also do some work on Bogota, Lima, and Mexico City! I've been to all and I've enjoyed them.
Is there anything you would like to ask to a native porteño? Let me know if you need help with the research!
Great video. BA's remoteness might well become its biggest asset in the coming decades, as the challenges in the overpopulated north become more acute. The story of BA's fall from extreme wealth to decades of dysfunction and instability is one that I fear we will see many other cities following in the years to come.
I spent a semester in BA and live in Chicago now and while I'd say overall Chicago feels a bit more first world, there are plenty of ways in which BA already feels more so, particularly given changes in the past few years. Crime is more frequent and extreme in Chicago, public transit far slower and less reliable...I think in the next couple decades Chicago and other US cities will see the decline in cleanliness and building maintenance, plus rates of inflation, that will make them more resemble typical BA conditions of today
Incredible video editing.
Glad you think so!
great video, but why the generic central american music when talking about Tango in Argentina??😅
Also for anyone wondering, Buenos Aires has the highest percentage of Italian immigrants in the world, to the point that the language itself is quite "Italian sounding" in its melody, very beautiful.
It doesn't just sound Italian; we borrowed many words from the XIX century Italian peninsula dialects; check "Lunfardo." We also "speak with our hands," which is very culturally Italian. According to the "ius sanguinis" principle of the Italian citizenship legislation, at least half the Argentine population is also Italian. Many people have dual Argentine/Italian or Argentine/Spaniard citizenship.
@@royconejo si así es👍🏼
Tango is no longer listen to, nor rock or pop. It's mostly Caribbean music everyday, all day. Think of reggaeton and similar genres. There is almost no variety.
The World's most southern mega city - Buenos Aires - is NOT just one of the best places to live in Latin America but also in all of America, including Anglo-America. Been to all those countries except Central America. Love Argentina 🇦🇷, Canada 🇨🇦 and Brazil 🇧🇷.
keep dreaming, is still a third-world city
@@S5Dic09 : It is politically incorrect to use the Anglo-American invented term “Third World” not to mention arrogant. Buenos Aires is cleaner, more sophisticated and greener than any of the boring cities in the so called “developed world”.

I enjoyed this because I have a soft spot for "BsAs", having visited there twice. In this and several other recent TDC videos I inhale them as if they were a breath of fresh air because they're balanced without pushing a narrative that favors the left. They don't particularly favor the political right either. Balanced is the word that comes to mind. I like it. Kudos.
This is an interesting observation. Is there usually coverage that is biased to the left?
@@PHlyestofNerds In my experience yes.

Sadly the City's Goverment made a change in the urban planing wich allows more (and taller) buildings and less green spaces

Argentina is an awesome country along with the rest of the South American nations 👍👍 Greetings!!
Greetings!
Fantastic video!
BA is indeed a very beautiful city that was once one of the greatest in the world, but now, due to South America's constant economic instability and a heavy dependence on simple products like comodities, struggles to develop and achieve its true potential. Like Brazil, Argentina is a country of the future that never happens.
Buenos Aires has long achieved its true potential. Its subway metro was done in 1908 (1904 in New York and 1900 in Paris). True, high inflation is the result of decades of "peronismo" policies, now about to be changed by Milei. Over the decades, a lot of progress has occurred in Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, etc. I truly believe that these are indeed the countries of the future, to which increasingly a lot of Europeans and Asians are flocking to at this time,
Any Portenos here!
Insist your economy focus more on semiconductor production. I love you and I have wanted to visit since at least 1999. One day I will come and I want you to succeed.
An American -
One critique take out the salsa background music you put at some point, put Tango instead. The rest is probably the most factually accurate video I have seen about Buenos Aires.
Thank you, there's always a thing or two I'd change. Too bad YT won't let me.
Nice video, a couple of observations:
- public funded universities located in the city are actually federally funded, not by the city administration (which has a very anti public education agenda).
- transgender rights and gay marriage have nothing to do with 1994 Constitution reform and they are not exclusive to Buenos Aires. They were sanctioned in 2010 by the peronist government of Cristina Kirchner at national level.
- transport is far from ideal for such a big city. In fact, subte grid is very lacking and not a single kilometer was constructed in the last decade.
Again, good video. I love my city and I wouldn't change it for any other in the world.
Siempre un kuka tergiversando la realidad.... la Ciudad no es anti educación pública.. al contrario quiere hacer que el magisterio sea una carrera universitaria no un terciario pedorro... los derechos lgbt vienen con la lucha de grandes referentes desde los 80 s, la ley no fue sancionada por Kretina, fue al Congreso a ser debatida y votada como corresponde en una República con división de poderes, de hecho el proyecto no era de ella, como tampoco lo fue el de la AUH cuya autoría es de Carrio. Respecto al subte estaría bueno que aclares que Kretina unilateralmente le encajó el subte a la Ciudad sin darle fondos e incluso sacándole coparticipación cada vez que puede, incluso teniendo en cuenta que miles de argentinos provenientes del conurbano lo usan, al igual q el sistema de salud de la Ciudad. Contala como quieras pero hecho mata relato, no quieras reescribir la historia, no sé si lo haces por ingenuidad y lavado de cerebro pensando que la historia comienza con Nestor o lo haces con malicia mintiendo, cosa que sería infinitamente peor y peligrosa...
Best City in the World!
We have to take in consideration, that now there is at least a 25 more very big cities in SA , so the opportunity of trading goods, is there. I don't think they depand on Europe
You seem to be missing the fact that all South American countries produce the exact same things. There’s no point on selling Soybeans (Argentina’s main export) to Brazil or Paraguay, when those two countries also produce tons of soybeans to export. It’s the same for beef, wheat, corn and most primary products. This isn’t Europe, we don’t have huge manufacturing capabilities. Brazil and Argentina have the largest industries in the region, and do a lot of trade between themselves, but we are far from being the European market.
@agme8045 then trade with North America too
Good video, though I'm not sure I have ever seen an in-depth video on Argentina that didn't refer to slavery, racism and Nazis.
Existe mucho más que eso, pero son los títulos "gancho"
The opening of the Panama Canal condemned many South American nations to poverty.
Bear in mind that only 10% of the world's population lives south of the equator and therefore the major centres of consumption are in the north.
The canal made transport cheaper and therefore South American products were no longer attractive.
But all is not lost. If you can't compete on price, you have to compete on quality. This is what countries like New Zealand and Australia have done. And this is the path that Argentina, Uruguay and Chile should follow.
I am not sure I agree with this at all. There has been lot of progress in Southern American countries and cities especially over the last 1-2 decades, including the city of Asuncion in Paraguay. Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Santiago de Chile, Southern Brazil, even Lima are largely first world, with of course some pockets of third world, which are also found in inner city Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, southeast Atlanta, Paris, Rome, etc. You need to update your information and get rid of stereotypes. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city, indeed the Paris of South America, actually better in my opinion,
@@jgonz260 I I lived in South America for ten years.
My comment is historical rather than contemporary. Of course the South American countries, some more, some less, adapted to the new situation during the 20th century.
But it is evident from the statistics of GDP and economic growth that the region declined right after the opening of the canal.
OK, I accept all that. All I am saying is that in the 21st. Century there has been a lot of progress in these countries. Buenos Aires has an old world historic charm up until the present although it has suffered obviously from persistent inflation, as pointed out elsewhere. It appears Milei is trying to correct this situation,
@@jgonz260 I hope so.
There seems to an economic rot in Argentina which is related to the political class and corruption. I hope that Argentina can change, but the rot is measured by the almost continuous, persistent high inflation. There is a serious financial structural issue that needs a deep fundamental reform. Given the past performance of several decades, I doubt that Argentina can get out of the hole. There is something deeply flawed in the political culture that resists the needed change.
You nailed the analysis. The political decadence is related to a moral and cultural decadence though
@@drimastermaster1911 Never been there or studied it extensively but to have that kind of inflation and currency problems for so long reveals a very serious and deep flaw in the system.
Do Singapore or Manila next.
Always since the end of the 19th Century Buenos Aires wants to be a European city in South America and in the Americas.

I'll answer the last question. "Stop inflation". It's been the constant from 1949 until 1992-2001 period, and since from then. A retirement pension is roughly 150 dollars a month. Any imported good or component doble its price within a year or less. Unions cannot match salaries at the inflation rate, and any raise whatsoever, pushes up inflation too. As an Argentine myself I feel I have wasted all my life in a country that only makes you poor.

megatown
La Argentina always spends more than it earns because for over 80 years it has continued to create rights that someone has to pay for, and increasing taxes and regulations to make it increasingly difficult to legally start a business and create genuine employment. This means that, due to the lack of financing, we unfortunately keep accumulating debt as a country and do not honor our debts. As a result, we print a large amount of national currency without backing it up, causing the poor to suffer from inflation, resulting in more poverty and a shrinking middle class, causing wealth to flee the country.
It really bothers me to equate a South American city to as European. This is not necessary, we have our own uniqueness and beauty.
Watch out for the dog poop!
argentina the best country in the world and away from the usa too...
this is really poorly written, one idea fails to connect to the other in any meaningful way, and you didn't even use actual tango music while trying to describe it....sheesh

@@adolfomercado6205 Nonetheless Eugenio is right. First of all during the "good years" immigration from bordering countries is huge because even with the economical problems there are more opportunities to get a job in Buenos Aires, second, they don`t leave when things are not so good. And yes, the villas are mainly inhabitated by bolivians and peruvians or people with immediate background in those nacionalities. The 2/3 of Argentinians being poor statistics is based on official information data, which of course doesn`t count the under the table economy, being it a big portion of the pie. I would say you never set one foot in this country, which it does have its problems, but it is by far not as bad as described, even when of course this is not Finland, although the weather is a lot nicer than in that country

Argentina needs to dollarize and declare Bitcoin as legal tender. The "competition of currencies" as championed by the presidential candidate Milei. Argentinos need to vote for the money they want to use and put all other political issues on the back burner. It cannot be understated how much this is the most hair on fire problem they are facing with 100% inflation. Vote for whoever will eliminate the corrupt Central Bank.
It looks like every other city in South America. The center is for those with money and the rest is a shanty town, dangerous and poverty stricken.
Not so much. The centre of Buenos Aires is business and commercial. It is not residential.
While it is true, as in any big city, that there are dangerous areas, rich people do not live in the city, but outside it in the north and northeast of the city.
