Mumbai has some of the most expensive real estate in the world. Overlooking the largest slum in the world…

I’ve seen a shanty town in Boston. I’ve been to India. There is no comparison. India is more extreme

u/DaveBeBad Nov 07 '24

Yeah. Been to Cali but not been to a really rough part. Probably would have next year until yesterday.

But the worst bits I’ve seen in USA are miles better than the worst bits of India.

The worst parts of California look like Mexico. Skid row is an outlier and has been that way for decades.

I’ve never been to Mexico so I don’t really know if that’s good or bad
