>>40240405Actual richfag who posted first here. These other anons clearly don't understand what it's like and it's embarrassing. First of all, people with money don't even live on normal streets, they live in gated communities (or "country clubs") like San Jorge, for example, where they have houses as big as they want, mainly because in most cases they hire architects themselves to build them. The houses like in those Google pictures are all mid class, the shittiest ones being mid-low, and the better ones MAYBE mid-high class, but only barely. Many mid class people mistakenly think they're high class (mostly because of the shared hatred for "los negros de mierda" and this mentality that "since we're not like them, we're like the others then!"). Some richfags do live in normal streets, like in San Isidro's case it's mostly in Martinez or Acassuso, but the streets are kind of "twisty" and full of trees so normal people don't wind up in them and are dis-encouraged from going in.
Richfag Argentinians enjoy horse riding as a hobby, have big boats probably docked in one of San Fernando's many nautical facilities, travel often (and no, not to Miami, only newrichs do that and everyone laughs at them), go/went to elite school like Goethe Schule, St. Andrew's Scots School, Northlands, St. George's College, Colegio Lincoln, etc. and generally speaking live a life that's very different from your average Argentinian. I have friends from Ituzaingo (an actual shithole from Zona Oeste) and when I invited them for the first time to the gated community I lived in they literally looked around like tourists and kept going "this doesn't even look like Argentina at all, wtf!"
So yeah, this country is incredibly poor but actual rich people do exist. In fact, since this was pretty much always my life, when I started coming here and saw all the "Argentina is nothing but poor monkeys" I was very confused, and nowadays it's just laughable.
