And Brazil as a whole or even Rio as a whole isn't the place you are making it out to be. So why don't you use your own conclusion in there... And sorry about NOLA... but it isn't just a ghetto, very near the river on the french part, close to the hotel for several blocks it was almost a dumpster. |
The French Quarter is a dumpster, but that's because it's a hedonist paradise and tourist attraction not because you're in danger. People go there to get krunk and see naked ladies.
The actual dangers of being in New Orleans are mostly limited to where you are in the town. There are some really terrible areas, but New Orleans is also seen as one of the best hosts in the world for major sporting events. They're very common picks to host Super Bowls, All-Star Games, etc. Even with it's exagerrated crime rates (by excluding all suburbs and only counting the 350k city population), it's still has lower crime levels than Rio de Janeiro.
Your comparison was suprising for me because of the sheer difference in those two cities, I don't think the problems are comparable. Such a scale difference.
