Spoken entirely like someone who has never set foot in Brazil, let alone Sao Paolo or Rio. You are woefully naive if you think the bad parts of DC are even remotely as scary as Rio and Sao Paolo at night. It is so obvious you've never been there. |
The Brazilian interior is even more lethal! So many people just disappear. |
| Also BBL’s skyrocketing in popularity with exponential growth in the us also is more evidence of the brazilification of the us |
Those darn sh!+hole countries. You sound like Trump. |
Yes, it's okay to mock the favelas of Rio, but if you don't consider Mogadishu a viable vacation destination, you're a racist. Got it. |
And don’t forget all the bums, druggies, sidewalk tents, piles of feces and used needles you can stand! |
Because this is by far and not even close the best place in the world to live. NZ is a s'hole country. Possibly nice to visit but do you wonder why so many leave? Switz is fine but why live there. Austria sucks as does almost all of Europe. |
With the possible exception of Canada, outside of the US -- the whole world is a s'hole. |
I'm not suggesting California is a great place to live. I'm explaining it appeal. I love visiting California and pre pandemic spent a lot of time there. It would be a great place to be extremely rich, in a gorgeous glass house perched on Monterey Bay. |

Ok as an aside, honest question.
Why does California have such a feces problem? Dc and nyc have unhoused people as well but people don’t take dumps on the streets/sidewalks here. |
California has a homeless population 11x larger than New York. So its really not comparable. Also the approach to the homeless population is vastly different. For example, the city of San Francisco designated homeless people as "emergency workers" and put them up in the storied Mark Hopkins Intercontinental hotel. https://nypost.com/2020/06/27/san-franciscos-failed-experiment-of-homeless-hotels-is-a-cautionary-tale/ |
Spoken like someone who believes what they read on the internet. Neither Sao Paulo nor Rio are in the top 50 most dangerous cities. But Baltimore is. So are St. Louis, Detroit and New Orleans. And yes, I have been all over Brazil. In fact, I lived in Sao Paulo. I also lived in DC when it was the murder capital of the US. |
One of LA's homeless just put an ER nurse in critical condition......
