article said the small resources they have protect tourist areas and not slums
-
what I think is a big issue is that visiting the slums is a popular tourist attraction and those ppl arent safe
-
how about media focus on how f-ed up it is that going to the slums is a tourist activity
-
like can you imagine people in the USA being like "oh hey lets go to Compton/east St. Louis/Detroit!"
-
Hey, Compton is nice now.
-
I would say it's better but not nice

They have a Chipotle!
