Thread 216668853

honest thoughts?

Should we import Mexicans so you guys start dismembering favelados?

>>216668873
it would be funny, ngl

>>216668853 (OP)
This is not Rio de Janeiro.

rio would have a beach in the background instead of gray buildings

>>216668853 (OP)
that slum looks like cdmx

>>216668907
Both ghetto tbf

>>216668907
Of course, they look very similar

>>216668853 (OP)
You lied to me >>216668370

The reason Tokyo and Seoul look the way they do today (narrow streets, extremely high density) is because they were built on top of the foundational pattern of slums just like the one you posted. I want to imagine a world where Brazil can develop like this and gradually upgrade its slums into a healthy metropolis, but unfortunately what's more likely to happen is they bulldoze everything and erect more soulless towers like they've done everywhere else in the country.

>>216668853 (OP)
Do those buildings ever collapse?

>>216668967
it's difficult to see news about that, so it's very unlikely

>>216668951
Seoul is still ghetto to this day just with LED lights

>>216669006
It has bad areas but overall it's much nicer and safer than anything in OP's picture. At the end of the day general quality of living (electricity, running water, plumbing, garbage collection) is what's important.

How do you even get your own favela house? Do you just randomly start building a new building with the help of your six cousins in a random location?

>>216669068
you usually buy the plot or the shack.
1000 USD can do it

>>216668853 (OP)
I have no intention of ever visiting Rio.
With that being said, two of the sweetest girls I've met on the internet were from there, so it can be all bad.

>>216669068
I took a class on this in architecture school (which was taught by a really hot Brazilian woman who was basically the only reason I took the class).
The favelas started when Brazil began industrializing and people moved the cities in droves for work. They literally just built their houses on open land surrounding the city, and because of Brazilian squatting laws they owned the land after living there for like 5 years or something. Then over time the downtown areas of the city grew until they were connected to the favelas.
Nowadays it's essentially just a regular renter's economy you'd find anywhere else. Some slightly richer favela dweller owns the building and rents out rooms to poorer favela dwellers. The owners build new floors on top of the existing buildings all the time to have more spaces to rent out.
Occasionally someone will sell their building and a developer will knock it down, building a brand new skinny apartment building on the land they now own.
o algo

Did you fuck her though?

I’ve heard that the carnevals have a decent athmosphere

>>216669226
No, but she was one of those women who acted like she wanted to fuck everyone. Whenever you'd ask a question she'd come over and sit on your desk and just stare down at you grinning as you talked. I honestly think she did it because she realized it increased class participation. Made me hard multiple times.

>>216668926
Sorry, I tried

Rio de Janeiro mogs anywhere in mexicshit

>>216669557
This is just a beach

>>216669612
a beach without any mexcrement in sight, something unthinkable anywhere above Colombia since you visajeets are everywhere.

>>216668853 (OP)
That's not Rio de Janeiro, I recognize these buildings on the background
>>216668967
all the time, they just build another

Why can't they just demolish the favelas and move population to the newly built district like Chinks did with Kowloon?

>>216669180
>Then over time the downtown areas of the city grew until they were connected to the favelas.
Au cointraire, the favelas grew up to the point of touching the city
Just think about it for a second, you think someone would willingly build luxurious apartments with this view? no, when this one in specific was built in 1979, the view was of a virgin forest

>>216668853 (OP)
lmoa thanks God I'm mexican

>>216669180
what do new favelas look like? are the ones closest to the city center the nicest?

>>216669888
Look, I found a pic of 1987, the favela hasn't reached the apartment's fence yet

>>216669888
Playing tennis with your old chum Fernando Bauer III while listening to the sounds of gunshots from an ongoing murder is certainly one of the feelings

>>216670013
from satellite view you can clearly see how the favela looks like a cancer that grew inside a very wooded neighborhood

btw Ayrton Senna is buried on that field south-east of the favela
