  1. Sao Paulo, largest city in the Americas? Thought Mexico City was, but that's evidently due to some misinfo. I read some decades ago, when the text said that Mexico City had a pop. of around 25 mn, but maybe that wasn't for the main population and was, instead, for metro. pop. Evidently would be a little exaggerated for metro. pop. today, for while it isn't specified in the Wikipedia page, urban is and is said to be around 21 mn, close to Sao Paulo's metro. pop. : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_City, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Paulo. These southern cities both are clearly HUGE for pop. and it SURELY is difficult living. WELL, I wish these Brazlians well with their efforts for social economic justice. The images of the city of Sao Paulo in this video, however, drive me batty ; being mindboggling. Heck of a DENSELY populated place. I definitely wouldn't like to live in such a place, but guess that it's DIFFICULT for these people to find better. May God of Love, Justice be with them. And Bravo! for the activists among them.

  2. People making their own communities shouldn’t be a crime. Property shouldn’t sit empty and in decline. Property shouldn’t be hoarded whilst people go homeless. Housing shouldn’t be a commodity!
