Indeed there is some weirdness in this article. For example, it claims Brazillians are going to Portugal in large numbers because Bolsonaro... Except, Brazillians are going to Portugal in large numbers, because the Portuguese government invited them, out of necessity since the country is depopulated and has low birth rates. I am one of the Brazilians that intend to move to Portugal, and part of the reason is that I am not exactly Brazilian, yes I was born in Brazil, but my family is from Portugal, and I was raised with a Portuguese culture, I just don' t feel like Brazil is my home and want to try going back to my family hometown (Leiria) to see if it is a place that clicks with me. Lisbon and other metropolises indeed are bad, but because a incredible amount of people want to live there despite lack of enough land there.

> Lisbon and other metropolises indeed are bad, but because a incredible amount of people want to live there despite lack of enough land there. And infrastructure. Lisbon is incredibly dense, partly due to its historical neighborhoods that's impenetrable by modern surface traffic, and a subway network with insufficient reach for a growing metropolis, resulting in everyone packing themselves denser in the few desirable areas.
