Well let me add some third world countries for the sake of balance:
1- Very poor infraestructure: Ports, airports, railroads.
2- Horrible public transport system
3- No recycling programs.
4- Poor water planning. I mean, I live in a tropical country, in average we get 168ml of rain per year, yet the politicians never thought about the growing population and the lack of water for some communities!! There is literally 4 hours of water per day! and thats been happening for almost a year now! There are some plans of making new diggings to find more sources of water, but that is just empty talk!
5- Rape-like loan rates for housing. When the minimum wage is $450, how can banks expect people to pay $600-$800 monthly for a house! (btw I am network engineer working for Cisco, yet $800 a month is still expensive for me)
6- Slow ass internet. Well recently is getting better. I have 10mb, but I pay around $45... I used to pay the same for 4mb.
7- Mobile internet sucks. LTE is available, but carriers do not subsidy phones the same way they do in other places. For example I got a huawei Ascend p6. I pay $32 a month for 4mb of internet (3g) but I dont get more than 1mb. So upgrading to a 4g phone such as Galaxy, Htc, Iphone or the likes will cost me around $500-$700 for the phone + the plan...
8- Eating healty is damn too expensive!! I do not eat fast food at all, (Last time I ate a burger at BK was like 10 years ago) vegetables, fruits, grains, fish, pork, meet is getting more and more expensive everyday!!
9- The gasoline is way too expensive. $2 a litre is overly expensive.
