    I don’t see a single word in this article about how Argentinians are are benefiting.

    Maybe the bit about falling rent prices, but if they’re really building that quickly, I have deep concerns about quality. The residential buildings I’ve seen in central and southern America look like deathtraps in a fire or earthquake.
