Comparing Brazil with Mexico with Madrid with Tokyo and coming to the conclusion that "is all the same" seems farfetched.
Policies that see "the poor" as the problem instead "poverty" create violent dystopian cities. Good policy works and make big cities great places to live. Reducing inequality, giving good safety nets to citizens, treating drug addiction as a disease, etc. make a difference. Not 100% of big cities are the same.
- DeathArrow 2y agoIt works wonders in San Francisco, doesn't it?
- Frieren 2y agoI am not American, so I could be wrong, but is San Francisco a good example of a city with low inequality? My understanding is that the opposite is true.
- lostlogin 2y agoI read the parent comment as being sarcastic.
- DeathArrow 2y agoNeither am I. I just wanted to point out that the policies suggested in the parent comment didn't work out.
- crazygringo 2y agoI think they meant big cities in Brazil vs the countryside in Brazil. Not big cities across the world.
- Xunjin 2y agoYes, I meant in Brazil. Off-topic: I really need to add more context to my replies without considering the parent comment, it's not the first time that caused confusion.
