- _3u10 3y agoIt has high crime areas which are generally not where you want to live. Most Latam cities are pretty good about keeping the criminals separate from the people. This is kind of what I meant by 100x less stupid than Vancouver. Brazil and Colombia are the exceptions, though the populace generally supports the idea of law and order so it at least has a hope. Healthcare in Paraguay is much better for day to day stuff than Canada and if you need more go to Argentina / Brazil / Europe.

- tempestn 3y agoMexico City had a crime rate in 2022 of 46k crimes per 100k inhabitants. In New York City it was 2900.

The difference is how effectively police can keep crime in certain areas and keep it from leaking into others. People enjoy and have better experiences in a city where the no-go areas are known and avoided than a place where the touristy areas ARE the no-go areas or where crime bleeds into major economic thrufares
