    $1500.USD a month is dirt cheap for a cosmopolitan/global city. However, Pat is NOT PAYING $1500. a month. He is paying $50. per night and he multiplied $50 times 30 days ($50 X 30 Days =$1500). The monthly Airbnb rate for that location is MUCH LESS than $1500.

      70% of the planet $400 a month is average rent in such a city.
      $1500 is too pricey.
      You are comparing this price to LA or NYC, which is a mistake.

      In NYC it’s a steal
      Anywheee else it’s normal
      But only one bedroom
      He’s getting shafted

      En bogota hay lugares muy caros q no son faciles de costear para todo el mundo, sobre todo al norte de la ciudad, igual tiene cosas baratas pero encuentras tiendas y lugares muy costosos, pasa que el norte de bogota es todo clase media alta y altay es una poblacion de 4 millones d epersonas, como decir un pequeño pais, lo que genera otros precios distintos a los del sur o centro de la ciudad u otras ciudades

    Strictly speaking, the paseo millonario is when you're kidnapped and taken from ATM to ATM until all of your money is withdrawn. You're describing more of a raponazo or a generic atraco. Colombians are all about the perfect word for specific criminality.

    I’m desperately trying to move over there as soon as possible! I just got back a week ago and spent a week in El Chico at the NH pavilion next to Parque 93.
    The bang for your buck going over there with USD to COP ratio is insane! I have found three bedrooms/4 bathroom apartments in the same area as well as Chapinero for $800-$900 a month.
    One day we were there it broke 81° and everybody was dying from the heat!
    Saying that Colombians are fashionable is an understatement! Definitely motivates you to want to work out and dress up just a little bit more before you leave your house lol
    But everybody was so nice and not once that I ever feel in danger even going as far south as Calle 45!
    You can eat 3x a day at food carts for about $10 too!
    10/10 would love to live there!

    Yeah, people from Bogotá D.C, (and Colombian in general ) are very fashionable and one of the best good looking latinos, in addition very open mind people ( same sex marriage are legal, abortion, euthanised, adoption from same sex too, LGBT people can be in the military etc) People from Colombia are very mix between them so you can find a lot people with different kind of mix ( a lot black people, arab background specially from Lebanon, Syrian, Palestine, turkey, Israel) , Spanish and Mediterranean ethnicity, Europeans specially from Germany, Italy, some Asians, ) Brazilisn people and culture is very similar to Colombian too.

      This specific neighborhood is called El Retiro.
      It took a few days for me to feel safe here just because it was unfamiliar.
      Once you settle in, you get a more practical idea of the dangers which are more present in certain areas of the city than others.
      Only aspect of homelessness in my neighborhood is Venezuelan migrants asking for money.
