Interesting take on BA, I wonder why you would have "cringed" after seeing the http://YESBA.org site. They were founded by http://HELPArgentina.org which works with over 50 NGOs in the area and puts normally "loud and abusive" expats to work for social postive causes. I like your weblog and just thought I would ask why you cringed. I would also like to say that after living here for a few years, the hey day is pretty much gone, but rent has quite rarley been under $250.00. I think the Washingpost article glorifies the reality of Buenos Aires, most of the cities many villas are run by chieftens and according to Clarin over 500 children sleep on the street everyday. I would say many more and keep in mind this is not a tropical climate these days. Its jacket and hat weather.
