You're joking...
2 malls = 200 shops aprox. - I'm sure there are commercial streets with many more shops in Buenos Aires
15 restaurants - many many more in B.A., cheaper, too
25+ fast-food places - I hope there are 0. Fast-food is crap
10 car dealerships - There are more in B.A., but whatta hell do you buy 10 cars at once? If you need a certain car, you can drive even 100 miles to get it.
1 movie theaters - probably many more in B.A.
3 24/7 fitness centers - probably there aren't 24/7 centers, but for sure are many more fitness centers
2 gun stores - Thanks God if there aren't any
2 shooting ranges - idem
1 airport - at least 1 international airport in B.A.
5 grocery stores - not even worth to be mentioned
4 department stores, liquor stores, camera shops, billiards stores, auto stores, furniture stores, any kind of stores - idem
a ton of parks - probably 10 tons in B.A.
1 major highway - probably many in B.A.
hundreds of bus stops, churches, gas stations, whatever - what do you say, in a 13 million ppl megacity, could be more
Add to that 1 ocean and 1 huge river (Rio de la Plata), with beaches and stuff
All these, at a life cost probably 1/2 than in your area.
I would never compare a 13 milion inhabitans metropolis with your 15 miles area, man.
The truth is that in cities like Buenos Aires, with 4-5k a month, you live like in US with 15k a month. Try it and you will see that I'm right.
