Reminds me a little of pre-war Manila. Except with way more and bigger commercial buildings.
I'm guessing you guys have a little more traffic now?

Santiago in the 1940s, we discussed Chile the last time and you can see here it was no way near the same level of development as São Paulo or Buenos Aires of the time.
Huge contrast with current day Santiago, the modern capital which is the most livable large LATAM city nowadays.

Seems pretty similar to me.
So what changed? Money from the copper mine?

Santiago today.
Development is a decades long process, there's money from copper yes, but there's a ton of foreign investment in other sectors after Pinochet reforms and democratization (the Chilean economy really took off in the 1990s).

São Paulo was more impressive (and still is).
Traffic sucks in most Brazilian capitals.

Some of those buildings look way more modern than what you'd see in New York, but then I guess NYC still had lots of buildings from the 1800s. Was this stuff all put up recently?

São Paulo was a small town of 70k inhabitants when the Empire ended in 1889. The city grew like crazy in the 1910-1940 period (and onwards as it displaced Rio as Brazil's largest city by 1960).
If Buenos Aires was inspired by 19th century Paris, then SP was the Latin American New York. Art deco buildings popped everywhere in the city downtown between 1920s-1940s.
