    If you want to see differences you should go and check other neighborhoods like La dehesa, San Damian, Lo curro and so on. You can go a do a hiking to the Manquehue, and check the houses on the way to the start of the path, or go to a bike park called "El Durazno" if you have time.

    I have visited cities around the world. In every city there are nice rich areas and poor ugly areas. If you go to New York you will be told by the taxi drivers not to pass street 75 in Manhatan, not to adventure into Queens or The Bronx.
    If you go to the ouskirts of Paris you will find poverty, even in cities like Munich in Germany, there are neighbourhoods where the Turkish live that looks like any old suburb of Latin America.
    In Las Vegas, if you walk a few block beyond the Las Vegas Boulevard, and the tourist atractions, and see how the workers of Las Vegas actually live, then you will feel that you are in neibourhood of Santiago Chile that people is recommending to visit to experience "reality".
    I think is unfair insist in talking about inequality in Chile an enfasizing it to tarnish somehow the good image of Chile.
    However I undertand why people contrary to free market economies insist in talking about it.
    Simply because is no much negativity to mention about Chile. Other that "inequality".
    The mighty USA is now facing a downturn in quality of living. The big cities are sufering homelessness as never before. Rubish is piling in the street that before were clean and tidy.
    Chile in the other hand is doing well regarding standard of living and reducing poverty.
    Many of the current problems that Chile is experiencing now are clearly aumented by the uncontrolled influx of migrant from poorer countries. Some of them are undocumented and also delincuents.
    The government of Chile is changing laws to push them back to where they came from. But is not an easy task. And they have done considerable damage to the Chilean society regarding insecurity, corruption, narcotrafiking, ilegal prostitution, home invasions, assault of policemen, destruction of property, assaults on supermarket, total destruction of infraestructure such as many Metro stations during the riots of 2019, etc.
    But Chile is working hard to recover from the ilegal entries and continue the route of progress.
    Inquality is not necessarely a bad thing. Because a country that has very rich people and people that live around them is always a better country than one where the rich do not exist so much and they are surrounded by an ocean of poverty, hunger and lack of basic services. What is the situation of the so called "egalitarian" countries that some people admire.

      Hablar de desigualdad no mancha la imagen de Chile, porque esa ES su imagen. Los lugares marginales SON la realidad y en lugares así vive el chileno promedio. El norte de Santiago es la excepción.
      Se te notó demasiado la inclinación política con "la gente de ideas contrarias al libre mercado". Hasta los políticos de extrema derecha viven en una burbuja, pero no fingen que la pobreza no existe.
      Tu último párrafo acerca de cómo los pobres son necesarios por el bien que los ricos suponen traer al país es lamentable y fuera de tacto, pero nada sorprende.

We have a lot of cultural clashes with the inmigrants from Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela and Haití because they are too noisy and don’t respect privacy and public order. In fact, when you were eating the cazuela and treated the lady with that “mi amor”, the old man next to you told you you are not in plaza de armas because treating a stranger woman like that is disrespectful and only used if you are talking to a prostitute. She didn’t tell you anything because she probably asume that you visited some Caribbean countries where that is normal, but here is disrespectful af

No puedes comparar EEUU con Chile, allá un obrero vive como un profesional de Chile, allá si no trabajas, literal el Estado te mantiene con cheques mensuales, también hay tarjetas de alimentación, eso en Chile no existe, así que no vendas humo, los indigentes que se ven en las áreas metropolitanas de EEUU, es porque están atrapados en las drogas, pero son minoría, en un país gigante.

    As a Bachelor of Political Science and Public Administration and soon-to-be Public Administrator, I believe it's interesting to know a few things about Chile. Here are some points:
    1. The center of Santiago wasn't always filled with graffiti and street vending. While this issue has persisted for years, uncontrolled immigration combined with the large protests in 2019 led to a significant deterioration in the quality of life in the city center.
    2. Chile experienced its economic golden years in the 2000s. However, it's true that the momentum from the high prices of raw materials gradually diminished. Without sustained economic growth, the population began to feel increasing frustration over inequality, especially considering that some have access to quality education and healthcare while others do not.
    3. Approximately 40% of Chile's population lives in Santiago, but you can also visit other cities like Valparaiso and Viña del Mar, as well as Concepción. These cities have around one million inhabitants each.
    4. It's important to note that the issue of graffiti and dirtiness is not solely a cultural one. Even in wealthier areas, these problems occur. However, significant amounts of money are invested in cleaning the streets because each municipality has its own resources, and some are much wealthier than others. saludos desde chile

      Another point I forgot to mention is that the informality rate is actually a significant indicator of the well-being of an economy. In the USA, it is approximately 6%, while in Chile, it reaches around 30%. In other Latin American countries, it can be as high as 40% to 50%.

    Haha yeah when he goes to the more upscale neighborhood, it's totally normal in most developing countries. You have the richer areas and then you have the poorer areas. Actually we kind of have similar places in the US, i live near DC and when you go into the city there are some neighborhoods where you can see the differences between wealth. It's funny some people are criticizing him for eating in a poorer area, I suppose it could be "worse" but the way I see it, it's just local people.

Dentro del contexto latinoamericano, Santiago es una ciudad desigual promedio comparada con Lima, Rio de Janeiro o Ciudad de Panamá, donde pasas de la parte moderna a guetos gigantescos en cuestión de cuadras.

      I think you are wrong. Beacause if you compare the "inequality" of Chile with the "equality" of its neighbour countries. Especially if you visit the "dangerous areas" of the other countries, then an only then you will be able to understand that the "inequality" that you are talking about is just a word.
      To eliminate inequality does not help anyone. On the contrary it destroy the posibilities of really help the most disadvantage people.
      In reality what is really important is to eliminate poverty. That is, and should be the priority. If you are really serious about helping the poor and not just defend a socialist ideology that has not demostrated any real benefit in giving people a better living, fereedom, and oportunities for personal progress.

      @Gerard-Red หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@VastardokKukiao Exactly, that is a fact. In the time of Allende, who wanted to convert Chile in a socialist country, the rich people suffered, so they saved what they could and left.
      The government nationalized the industries.
      And the workers tried to run them.
      But inavriably they failed, because they did not know how to do it without incurring in loses.
      They fix the pricesof everything artificially and raised de salaries. Creating inflation. That made the money worthless.
      They printed more money which made the situation worse.
      The production of everything made in Chile reduced because of negligent management and economic conditions made imposible to maintain the same outputs. Corruption, nepotism, political discrimination and plane robery of state funds were the norm rather than the exception.
      As the Chilean peso devaluated, to import esential thing from outside including food, fuel, medicines and machineery was an increasing problem.
      The government spent all the Central Bank reserves and contracted debt beyond the capacity of the country to repaid it.
      Everything became scarce or imposible to get. Even toothpaste and toilet paper.
      At the end we achieved equality in the extremely long lines of people to buy rationed few things. Including, baby formula, gas to cook, bread and cooking oil.
      So the same thing happened again in Venezuela, where they also wanted
      "equality".
      And in Argentina. Which is a rich country able to feed itself, but there is poverty and lack of money to buy food.
      The malnourishmen of children is now a problem thank to the search for
      "equality".
      Those are facts.
      On the other hand, countries where the fight again enequality does not involve socialism, the results are better.
      Capitalist country, which use a system liberty of comerce, freedom of trade, allows competition, private enterprise and the accummulation of rich on individuals, fare much better.
      The have higher standards of living, less poverty, and whoever is not happy with his or her live can choose to change his or her live in whatever way they want.
      So individuals are responsible for their own destiny and success in life falls onto the ones who work harder, save, invest and prosper.
      And whoever does not want to be rich the he or she can work for others and go home and enjoy life free of stress.

      Yeah, you can stay in las Condes and some parts of Providencia if you want a nice and safe neighborhood that’s close to the rest of the city and easily accessible with public transporte (use and app called Moovit in that case). The teleférico (aerial tram or whatever the name is) is in cerro San Cristobal, it’s a park called parque metropolitano which is at the north side of las condes and providencia. Parque metropolitano includes this teleférico, a zoo and some other things. If you go to the city center, be aware of pickpockets and people looking at you suspiciously, just like any big city in the world. If you like to do sports, I would highly suggest that you go hiking to a mountain like cerro Manquehue, it has a fantastic view.

      2) It doesn't have much of a bustling atmosphere like other capitals.
      3) It has incredibly underrated food (Sushi & Peruvian spots are exceptional)
      4) Impressive architecture & infrastructure (for a Latin American country)
      5) A safer feel than other Latin American capitals
