The last time I was in Sao Paulo was 1992. At that time the population was 14 million.
I was struck by two things: 1) Everything new was artistic and beautiful; and 2) Nothing old was maintained.
An example of 2: One sidewalk near my hotel composed an art-deco, mural-like picture in tiny tiles. I could imagine the whole as it existed when it was new, but, in that day, it was broken in three places. The breaks obliterated a third of the composition. One break was so great that it destroyed the sidewalk, and sand ran into the gutter.
Brazil -- permanent potential.
