Ever since the end of the 1 dollar/1 peso exchange rate, tourists, expats, investors and immigrants have "discovered" Buenos Aires and Argentina to be a paradise for all the above pursuits. Since the crisis financiero, however, not so much.Prices have been rising for some time ...and now incomes and remittances from home have begun to fall. Tourism, even now in high season, is already suffering.
I have some anecdotal evidence that some of our community are leaving.
Do you have more?
I'd like to interview anyone who is leaving Buenos Aires or La República in general due to the unexpected financial unpleasantness.
Please write and/or forward my email address letters@yanquimike.com.ar to anyone you think would like to comment for the record or anonymously. I'd especially like to meet in person with any or all of those folks for audio or video.
p.s. Some people are having trouble with the transition ...I think that it's possible that we could all give them a hand with little or no individual effort. Whaddya think?
