Interesting.
Of course Portugal has a stronger social safety net, indeed stronger social fabric (though sometimes it feels a bit too strong)
- 23B1 3y agoOut of curiosity, are you Portuguese or do you live there?
- somewhereoutth 3y agoI live here. There is almost no crime, the streets are clean, very few (visible) homeless, good public transport. I wish they'd cheer up a bit though, maybe colour outside the lines occasionally.
