[QUOTE=SunSeeker;431818]High prices aren't helping any either, or are the prices normal for here in BA? 0 K+ USD for a 50 m2 apt, 5 k+ for 80-90 m2, and a "casa" for almost {tagreplacement0}
million USD or more, roughly the prices I've seen since I got here last June and now.[/QUOTE]Everything is "negotiable" here. It depends on whether you pay cash, and whether you can pay them "outside" Or if you are paying in "cuotas" it depends on how long, etc. Etc.

There will be a significant correction. It will painful and unfortunate. Then, it will start all over again. The problem is that long ago a plurality of the voting population was made dependent (to some degree or another) upon governmental largesse. That buys votes for generations (a form of self-fulfilling prophecy) It isn't until one can't easily distinguish between the value of the governmental largesse and nothing that people start to take notice.
[QUOTE=Sidney;431812]Buenos Aires City property sales plummet 27 in 2012 because of the dollar clamp.
Property sales in the City of Buenos Aires plummeted 27% during 2012 according to a release from the Notaries College of the Argentine capital.[/QUOTE]I think it reality it's down far more than that.

As you may know Argentina was was one of the ten wealthiest countries in the world at the start of the 20th century, there was even the expression "Rich as an Argentine" About 20 years ago I had a South American representative an Argentine who had migrated to the US. I asked him what had happened to Argentina and his response, "Just look around you" Maybe in a few lifetimes everybody will agree that not only does socialism not work but that it is immoral.

[QUOTE=SilverStar;431907]Socialism is immoral because it takes property away by force from those to whom the property belongs to in order to feather the nests of those to whom the property does not belong too.[/QUOTE]And yet liberals will argue endlessly that the only immorality is the inequity of the distribution of wealth, that wealth is not the result of human endeavors but instead is something that falls from the sky and inequitably lands on some people more than others, and that it is thus moral to use the power of government to take the wealth that is unjustly in the hands of the "more fortunate" and redistribute it to those who are "less fortunate" etc., etc., etc.
Of course this pitch resonates with today's generation of Americans, many of whom have apparently concluded that actually working a job is a decidedly less appealing option than sitting on their ass, complaining about their lot in life and waiting for a government check to arrive.
