Medellin is bursting with greenery! Everywhere I look, trees stand tall, and many of the newer buildings boast impressive vertical gardens. This not only creates a visually stunning cityscape but also sparks my imagination, making me dream of a future where other cities around the world embrace a similar level of environmental integration.

That a city in still-developing South America was able to prioritize vegitation deserves a huge kudos.

Higher density of vegitation is what I dearly miss in the sprawl centric cities of California and what I like about my city back in India.

Are you from Colombia or you moved there? If you've been in Medellin for more than 10 years how does it compare to today?

I would say that beyond the green corridors, the main difference is how global it feels now. Lots of international cuisine, international DJs playing here, foreigners around, real estate ads in English, etc.

I assume the COL has only increased, am I wrong?

Yes, even compared to 2 years ago...

But the prices of "nationally-distributed" "things" (e.g. laundry detergent right?) pretty much adheres to the national trend...

...however rent in Medellín has gone up in these past 2 years too, like in some places it has gone up to double, gotta account for inflation (in USD terms you know) too but still...
