I haven't heard much on this forum about the infamous crime wave lately.
Anecdotally speaking, has it somewhat decreased in severity, at least to the extent that it registers in relevance to your daily life? Or is it more that it has become such an existentially inescapable fact of life that noone sees fit to mention it anymore?
I would appreciate honest, non-hyperbolic answers, because it enters non-trivially into my decision about whether to return to Buenos Aires in February. I would very much like to, and I feel that I can stomach the current and import issues.
I can deal with some crime and break-in risk; I've been in worse. However, if it's one of those things where being held up at gunpoint on the street at some point is almost mandatory and statistically inevitable, I'm going to have to think longer and harder about my decision. I didn't get this impression when I was there in November 2011, but I was there only a short time, had a companion with me, and I gather things have deteriorated since then.
