Mr. Z is a Porteño who believes in solidarity. He always offers his seat on the bus, helps old people across the street, every week he does four hours of voluntary work at a soup kitchen in his neighbourhood. But, secretly and every so often, Mr. Z allows himself to look at everyone from above.
With its square meter at over 8,000 american dollars, the fourteenth floor of the Kavanagh building, in front of the San Martín square, in Retiro, is the most expensive apartment of Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires has no beach, nor mountain, nor ten centuries old cathedrals, nor ancient ruins from lost civilizations. But, whit that je ne sais quoi so hard to define and sung by the poets, Buenos Aires makes you in love.
If the Legislative House of the City of Buenos Aires passes the law draft by the member of the Parliament, Marta Varela, the Callao avenue, along its twenty blocks, will be declared “Area de protección histórica” (APH: Area of historical protection).
Buenos Aires is going through a time of great changes. The real state boom has established the demolition of many old buildings in order to construct the highest, the newest and the most expensive towers. Even though this boom modernizes the city, Buenos Aires loses part of its characteristic features and charm, the reasons why people from all the world love our metropolis.
