    Gringo Invasion?

    As far as it goes, the big difference in real estate prices is not driven in BA by americans but rises in flats are driven mainly because of the dramatic downfall of 2001 (where you could find a three bedroom in Recoleta for 100,000 pesos), it is an inevitable recovery of an unseen crisis (I...
