[quote=Anonymous]I completely agree with you OP. I visited Costa Rica for a summer to visit relatives when I was 16 in 1988. I remember thinking - "wow, there is so much poverty, people begging, chanty houses, properties have to bars on the windows and have razor wire or broken bottles on walls to guard against petty crime, etc." I thought the US was such a fantastic place to live. I took my two teenagers this summer to visit relatives and they kept asking why is the US so run down compared to so many places in Costa Rica.? We went to a middle class mall and it was so nice. The food court didn't have homeless people hanging out or sketchy people. There were fun activities to do inside the mall. We drove around with relatives and yes there was poverty but my kids thought people were poorer and had more addictions/mental health issues in the US than in Costa Rica. [/quote]
