Those were in a single grouping.
I’m currently in SE Asia: factually, they don’t allow organized retail theft akin to what I’ve seen in Seattle or SF.
Their downtowns also aren’t littered with drug zombies.
- nickstinemates 4y agoI love SE Asia, spend a lot of time there. Your characterization is incredibly misleading. There's different tradeoffs between, say, Bangkok and San Francisco in terms of what is tolerated (i.e, drugs) and what isn't.
- zmgsabst 4y agoYes — my point was the narrow one: That it’s very strange that SF (and Seattle) are so much wealthier and developed, but I routinely see organized retail crime in those cities — but not in much poorer countries, who maintain a stricter social order.
