How Hard Is It To Get Out Of Buenos Aires?

[PhilipDT]

In the last ten years, after the 2001 crisis, theres a new demographic phenomena: the growth of medium size cities around Argentina. Especially in provinces like Santa Fe, Cordoba and Buenos Aires. Cities of 50k for example, think of Junin, Villa General Belgrano in Cordoba, there are a few.

Where do you come up with this crap? Do you just make it up? It's like your spiel on the uniqueness of the Peronism and this being a government for the poor.

Junin grew by 5.2% between the 91 census and the 01 census and only 1.8% in between the 01 census and the 10 census.

And villa general belgrano is probably closer to 5k residents than 50k.

Its the "Truth of Matias": always claim some "facts", often add phrases like "these are the facts, no opinions" or "you have to know this" and stick to them. If the evidence against the Matias truth is getting too strong, he'll just go offline, wait a few hours and switch to another thread to enlighten the people. His specialty is making comparisons to Europe, e.g., Argentina has way more supermarkets or how Europeans see Hitler - even more funny than reading what he writes about economy

Personally, I just get on the autopista. Isnt hard at all. You do have to pay a few tolls, but its under 30 pesos or so, total, depending on which way you go.

How hard is it to get out of BA? Ask ARBound. He's been trying to get out for months now.

Definitely much closer.

Villa General Belgrano grew from 4 557 in 1991 to 5 888 in 2001 and to 7 795 in 2010 (censo). Stll ... only some 42 000 inhabitants from the 50K mark :lol:

Since redpossum joined the forum only yesterday, I would like to point out that ARBound is not tying to get out of BA to move to a smaller city or town in Argentina. A lack of funds is preventing a permanent exit from the country.

I studied this in university, the intermediate cities in Argentina have been growing ( a lot) in the past ten years.
I went to a Congress of Urbanity in 2007 where this issue was very common, was in vogue, everyone was talking about it. Courses of this phenomena, classes of how infraestructure of this cities may collapse, etc. The 2001 crisis made that lots of people migrate to smaller cities, 50k sized average. I put the example of Villa General Belgrano cause I know people living near (Los Reartes) and when I was there, people talked me of how much has been growing.

So this is where I got my information, by my own, academia, etc, without support of Camporistas.

I lived in Mendoza (city) for 2 years. Loved it. I worked remotely so didn't have the problem of finding a job there. People were a lot nicer in general than in BA. Moved my stuff overnight. Took the bus. I showed up and got the keys to my place. My stuff showed up the following morning.

I know the East County since I lived in San Diego for 4 years. I miss being a 30-minute bike ride from La Jolla Cove - and fish tacos at South Beach Bar. If Buenos Aires had a beach I'd give it a 8.5 for standard of living. San Diego would be a 10.

Dirtboy, thank you for your kind words. I do love my city, in the wistful, bittersweet way you still care for an ex-lover after she's gained 50 pounds and become an alcoholic. San Diego was once genuinely what the slogan says, "America's Finest City". But those days are gone now, as they are gone for so much of the USA. The destruction of the middle class has left my city a hollow shell of what it once was. I hung in and hoped for it to get better for most of a decade. But when SDPD stormed the Occupy encampment with teargas and tazers and dogs and batons, I knew it was time for me to go.

OK, the different meanings for "General Belgrano" are way confusing. Have a look at the disambiguation page on Wikipedia-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgrano_%28disambiguation%29

I get that we are talking about a location in Argentina, but there are still eight different possibilities. Somebody want to take pity and help me sort this out?

You should ask for your money back.
