I have chosen to live where I live, and if I have made a good choice then that is probably not by chance. But I only seek to inform people of my exact circumstances and of my experiences in my location, and would not quote general statistics. Equally, as I have said before, just because SP and Rio are having a boom and bust housing cycle, this does not mean so is everywhere else in Brazil.Living in a state that represents about 2.5% of Brazil's GDP, I don't suppose you will see much change, but it seems very unfair to other people who don't live here, to turn a blind eye to all of Brazil's economical and social problems.

A taça de assassinatos é nossa
As you can see from the articles, the economical situation in Brazil is probably not even the most important when considering whether to buy a home here. Brazil is world champion in the number of homicides worlwide and year after year this number increases. The state that you live in appears at number 7 in the list of most homicides per number of inhabitants.
Having lived and worked in the US and Europe, I am well aware of inner city problems, and Brazil is no different. Of course security can be an issue anywhere in the world, and I would not choose to visit some countries in the middle east right now, but you have to apply common sense...and I personally would not choose to live in SP, but that would just be my choice.
It appears that you have a big grievance against Brazil, which I do not share, but we are both entitled to our opinions, so lets leave it at that.
