I live in Argentina (was born here). I've also lived in USA and other countries. It's hard to describe the situation. I'd be tempted to say that Argentina is rather safe. I've lived here for almost 30 years and I never got robbed. But I got robbed in San Francisco while on vacation for example. It really depends on what you do. If you're walking alone at 10PM in a not-so-nice neighborhood, then Argentina is not going to be safe. If you come from a REALLY safe country where you don't have the "cautious" skills developed, then it's not going to be safe. I know many startup founders in Argentina and Buenos Aires. If you go with the safe options: Buenos Aires city in a nice neighborhood (Palermo, Puerto Madero), then you'll be more than fine.
