You know that this is the most ridiculous thing to compare the living cost of a country by taking the $ needed to live in the most expensive region of the old Imperial city. The place that only lose in price per square meter to the country's biggest city, which generates, in the state, 32% of the country's money against 12-14% that the second biggest state.

 

It is like using the price to live in the Montaigne in France as  the standart price.

 

If you want to have a castle in France and don't mind living  under a rock in the middle of nowhere, of course that it will be cheaper than purchasing a smaller house in one of the most rich  residential regions of the country. But if you want to live in  one of France's better locations, Just the rent price will be bigger than purchasing  a house of the same size on Brazil.

Yeah, but Rio is nothing but hype. That city is just a very big mess with islands of extreme wealthy. And the cariocas are the most deluded people I ever met, the city is fallen apart and they are " But this is Rio, it`s ok, let`s enjoy what`s good". And the problems is the entire city got expensive based on the hype of World Cup and Olympics, my friends that lives there says the price of everything skyrocketed for World Cup but never came down again. Quality of life there is nothing to brag about either. I wouldn't choose Rio over Brasilia anyday, Brasilia is one of the most ambitious engineer projects of the 20st century and don`t get the recognizement it deserves, it`s a shame everything that happens in Brazil is centered in Rio. I would love the Olympics to have happened in Brasilia or even Sao Paulo, it would help break the stereotype of Brazil party country.

Rio being the house of the Imperial family, capital of the country for over 400 years don't had nothing to do with it ? When people want to make an event on a country of course that they won't make the event on the biggest commercial center or on the city which is just a plane field.

This is also a thing to help the country. You can spin how much you want but Brasilia isn't a residential district. Anything made there would only benefit over 2-3 Millions of citzens while on Rio there is 6-7 Millions of people who will benefit directly from the games and other 10 Millions of people in the same state, which isn't so large in land territory, that can benefit from the games.

Sao Paolo is too commercial for the games. The city don't have nothing despite the buildings and half of the city is  a Residential region while the other is a Commercial one, and the 2 are far away from each other. If they  made the headquarters of the game on the  commercial distric the people would have little to no benefit thus the country's government would not give money for the city to make the games. Those billions they used to make the games are intended to be also investment in people's lifes.

 

And if the game were on the Residential region ? the tourists would self-kill-them-self because they would take years to arrive at the games. And would need to go back the same way every single day because there isn't enought if not any hotels, on that region, to host them all.
