i live in Bogota, I only get the Transmilenio bus about once a year. Uber is 10x cheaper than the US. I go from safe zone to safe zone, its safer than western cities when you have to get the public transport you are taking risks, here you can park anywhere easily. Amazon is free delivery, we have 20+ malls. The private schools are top class for about $7,000 a year, my kids will probably get scholarships to Harvard, MIT or Oxbridge as about 50% of the kids at our school do. BMW and Mercedes are ubiquitos here, the murder rate in Bogota is Half that of Philadelphia, to give perspective. Live in middle class/elite circles and things are very very good here.
So you just use your car to go from safe zone to safe zone? Can you name good neighbourhoods? What about dating, how can you meet women without risking being drugged and robbed?
I'm from Cumaná, Venezuela. Despite the crisis, is such a nice city to live near the Gulf, you can see the peninsula on the other side and the weather is so good. Everything is so close that it almost feel like you are living in a little town.
Took my gf to live in Ipanema for as long as the tourist visa allowed. Safety was decent, yes they have petty theft, but just don’t take your phone outside of a restaurant.

I wonder the same thing. Nightlife, partying, etc. has never been a big thing for me. I do enjoy good restaurants and cuisine though. I've also heard the water isn't safe to drink in my Latin American countries, that's a concern of mine as well.

Puerto Montt is the biggest city and best well connected, but you have others close, such as Valdivia that is one of "the most german cities" because of german migration in the XX century and it is also considered the safest city in Chile
How couldn't you mention Curitiba, Maringá, Florianópolis, Goiânia, Balneário Camboriú and Vitória in Brazil? There are good options in the country! Actually, the Economist just cherrypicks cities in Latin America as a whole, let's be honest!
Only global cities were evaluated in the ranking they're using as a base to the video (Global livability Index), so only São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro were included in Brazil. If these cities were capitals of their country, they would almost certainly be included in the ranking

The truth is that Andrew knows nothing of Brasil outside of what he is told, reads or gleaned from a short visit to Rio. Andrew does not know the South of Brasil nor any other states in Brasil. I have been here for approaching 20 years now and live in the South. Andrew is nothing more than a general contractor and knows what he knows. One thing I know with certainty is as far as LATAM and South America in general . . . he, personally, just book smart enough to sound like he knows anything about this region when in actuality his real world experience here is essentially of little significance.

Totally agree with your thoughts on San Jose CR. It's a dump. Also on the pollution in Mexico City. I live in southern Mexico and we continually get tourists, both Mexican & foreigners, from CDMX that complain about it. They love the city but always complain about the air quality.
It is curious how the most livable cities and their level of English are related, if you receive the rankings of the level of English of each country in Latin America Argentina is in the first place while Mexico is in the last, I think that the level of English should also be taken into account
I can’t believe the nerve of some of you complaining about the free content Andrew offers on a daily basis. He also cannot possibly mention every single city or have the same opinions on places to live. Please be respectful.
@@hbbstn Biased means to favor something. Everyone has a right to that and to share as well. So are you saying the only reason you watch these videos is to criticize instead of getting good information ?
Andrew is marketing his organization so he does not do the videos out of the goodness of his heart. With regard to LATAM, Andrew's information is marginally more valuable than what he charges us to watch it . . . which you correctly state is zero. Andrew is a big boy, a capitalist right? He holds himself as an expert. Then he throws us this video based on a media poll, mentions that he spends little time in the region and makes illuminating statement with regard to how little he actually knows about the region. Please if Andrew wants to take offense to people expressing their opinions, instead of being icon worshippers, then maybe he could express himself.
Rio Grande do Sul is too far outside of Andrew's comfort zone. I live in Southern Brasil. I split most of my time in the Southern Cone . . . Andrew would last less than 10 minutes on the streets of Porto Alegre. RS.
@@Denver_____ Gramado is not a place you want to live, it's like a gated community, like all other vacation places in BR, like Buzios, Morro do SP, Porto de galinhas, and maybe the best ...Balneario Camboriu, at least it's a smaller city..
There are reasons why Panama has been repeatedly been in the top 3 places for US expats to relocate to. I have permanent residency there and love it there.

They use the dollar and have some American restaurants in Panama City.

Don't need a furnace or air conditioning in the mountains from my experience.

The big edge of Mexico is its economic relationship with the USA. This is good for job opportunities in the tech field. Other regions in the Latin America don’t have this.
In the south of Brazil, we have a place that combines quality of life with a billion-dollar business environment. Caxias do Sul, in the prosperous state of Rio Grande do Sul, with 500 thousand inhabitants, close to Gramado, Canela and Bento Goncalves, is the industrial and financial heart of the Serra Gaucha. It is the second largest metalworking hub in Brazil, behind only São Paulo. Administrative headquarters of multinationals such as RANDON CORP, AGRALE, NEOBUS, MARCOPOLO and many others. City founded in the 19th century by Italian immigrants and entrepreneurs. It is an excellent city to live and undertake.
As a 30y.o. chilean citizen I wouldn't recommend Santiago as a liveable city, nowadays is a very dangerous city, crime is getting worse day after day bc our poor justice don't punish enough to stop crime, instead of that our justice system boost the criminal giving them even pensions in some cases, it allows criminals to avoid jail if they show a fake medical certificate about a disease so they can take vacations "at home" which is not fulfilled most of the times, the criminal is back at the streets in a couple of days until he gets caught again to be released later. If any person, turist or visitor, chilean or not, gets assaulted by a criminal is almost certain you will no get justice ⚖️.
Santiago has changed since I first visited it 17 years ago. Beautiful country and people but there is an undercurrent there politically that I am not attracted to . . . could it be its history with US intervention . . . Nixon/Kissinger, the "Chicago Boys", et al. The demonstrations where the subway stations got destroyed . . . that was the turning point for me with Chile. Too much tension now for me politically.
I travel for work all the time in latin America. Hate MX city , santiago is nice but a upcoming city is San Salvador El salvador there is beautiful beaches 30 minutes away and lakes. Very safe now ! Perhaps safer than US
I think you haven't been much to Sao Paulo. It's the combination of all your drivers: - 24-hour city - sits on 900 meters above sea level but it's 50 minutes from the beach - a dozen metro lines - USD 100k residences in gated communities - best spot in Latin America for concerts - largest selection of awarded restaurants in Latin America, really diverse - very strong shopping culture - very clear pockets of safety - easy to invest and get residence permit - pleasant climate - biggest consumer market in Latin America - endless choices for exploring the near cities on quick-trips - 4 hours drive from Rio - 6 airports within 50 minutes drive - home to 90% of all regional trade shows in South America

Mexico City’s water infrastructure is failing. I’ve been spending a few months there every year for the past 4+ years and the city is drastically rationing water, even in the most prestigious neighborhoods. Most places need to truck in water every day to ensure a consistent supply. I would say this is enough of a reason to put hesitation on recommending the city, as there are so many common factors that can now severely disrupt your access to water.
Pollution, overpopulation and traffic are points that affect Mexico City. But in terms of tourist attractions, international connections, culture and entertainment, it is one of the most diverse in Latin America.
I spent time in CDMX, I live in London and honestly, those problems affect most major cities but they definitely are worse in the likes of London> CDMX in my view punches above its weight. Its not the most exciting for me. what is has to offer in terms of entertainment isnt my thing, but i found it extremely liveable. More so than even Bangkok and London, Bogiota etc@@miguelbs1930
I think you should check southern Brazil cities. Curitiba (where I live), Florianópolis and Porto Alegre are big cities (1 million plus population) with plenty of things to do, as well as business opportunities.
Let me add some more from Brazil, you won't regret knowing them! Maringá, Cascavel, Curitiba, Pato Branco, Florianópolis, Itajaí, Joinville, Timbó, Campos do Jordão, Jundiaí, Belo Horizonte, Juiz de Fora, Imbituba, Porto Alegre, Torres, Caxias do Sul, Gramado. There you'll find nice people, peace, all the comfort and convenience of any other big city, safety and good weather.
So santiago is like vancouver but without snow, with low housing price, excelent food, no war next door, no 200% of anual inflation, plenty of fresh drink water and without the murder score of california, texas or nyc, who wants that, we want some fun and adventure!!!
Bogota, Medellín, Cali, Cartagena, and all Colombia. Every single corner is a paradise. Of course *Colombia is the Most Bio-diverse Country in the World by Km², and 2nd. by extension, after Brazil.* *Colombia is called the Country of 1000 Rhythms, because it has 1,025.* Very rich musical culture. It is like 11 countries in one. Very wonderful vibe, and friendly people.
I can see Brazil, Argentina for sure. But there are so many South Americans entering the US illegally… I wonder if they know something we don’t? Venezuela for example.
There are many different realities. Being wealthy, having a well paying job VS being poor, not having a degree… in South America the contrast is huge. Many people who leave are in the latter category, they have access to better paying opportunities in countries such as the USA or Canada. There are also rich folk who move there, but usually they still maintain a large portion of wealth and ties in their native countries. The user who arrogantly mentioned shitholes probably isn’t very well travelled.
Very interesting perspective. In the context of geopolitical turmoil and rising Great Power conflicts, Latin America seems very safe, neutral and independent. It's also out of reach of long range missile, it has plenty of land with relatively low population density, plenty of natural resources. Yet at a more micro level, most countries remains relatively unsafe, and economically and politically volatile. So it's a mixed bag. As for cities, among those I have visited, Curitiba and Medellin probably come first. Santiago is beautiful and very safe, but indeed a bit boring. Apparently it is more difficult to assimilate culturally in Chile than in most other Latin American countries.

He went only once to Montevideo during the summer ! Montevideo is not a summer city. People leave at that time and everything closes. So you have a partial vision of the city and life.
For what it’s worth, I lived in Querétaro, MX currently live an hour away and plan to move back there soon. It’s a great city (depending on your wants) one of the safest cities in Mexico, with a thriving middle and upper middle class.
How anyone could put Querétaro on a least livable list is beyond me. I think it's far better than any other city in Mexico unless you're looking to be alone in the mountains
It's definitely worth exploring Santa Catarina in the South of Brazil, by far the most developed state in Brazil and likely in Latin America, with a very strong European influence and lots of nature!

Livability rankings are a scoring system for companies to calculate the amount of compensation necessary when they are relocating their employees. So in theory, it should be parallel to the costs of running a "family", and not how nice it is live in that city :/

I'm from Cumaná, Venezuela. Despite the crisis, is such a nice city to live near the Gulf, you can see the peninsula on the other side and the weather is so good. Everything is so close that it almost feel like you are living in a little town.
The cost of living is high since everything is paid in US dollars
Do the women look great in Cumana?
Took my gf to live in Ipanema for as long as the tourist visa allowed.
Safety was decent, yes they have petty theft, but just don’t take your phone outside of a restaurant.
My airbnb was 1k for 1 block from the beach.
The real was 5.45 to the dollar so I wasn’t spending a lot.
They had fiber and 5g internet.
I am Brasilian /UK citizen, living the last 20 years in Southern Brazil, pretty much retired now. Love it
A very balanced and in my experience realistic view of certainly South America,(I have no experience of Central America).
Thanks for your time producing videos Andrew.
Good luck to all in their travels and aspirations.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that you love it!

I got asthma during a two week visit to Mexico City. I am still opening my lungs with regular use of an inhaler. I loved the food and museums. My hotel concierge took me to a pharmacy and got me an inhaler for $3.66. No prescription needed.
When you say a city is “boring”, what do you mean? Does it not have culture, theatre, movies, nightlife? I just want to understand what makes it boring for you in some of these places :-) Thanks!
I wonder the same thing. Nightlife, partying, etc. has never been a big thing for me. I do enjoy good restaurants and cuisine though. I've also heard the water isn't safe to drink in my Latin American countries, that's a concern of mine as well.
Not enough matches on Tinder.
@@redstickham6394It depends on the city.
just look at him, he probably talking about the absence of polo tournaments in those cities
@@theuselessdrunk What does he mean by Culture? Because if he is talking about Culture in South America then Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia have very rich culture, for example in Bolivia there is the Aymara culture very rich in music, textiles, art, etc there is also Aymara culture in Chile and Argentina
This is a very objective and well articulated video. Thank you Andrew.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Caraqueño here, with 40k $ you could buy a very decent place to live in Caracas, no taxes to pay (the government is already rich and still robbing so don't feel pitty), and with private services you could allow a very decent live style. Very chill weather, Caribbean beachs, mountains to explore, very nice food. Honestly, a very decent spot if you have remote incomes.
But the cost of living is high since everything is paid un US dollars
Just don't bring your dog. 😞
@@dilmerfandinodepends on the kind of luxury you want for living, If you handle a good deal for a house, then you shouldn't be worrying about paying rent and you have more money to spend.
Finally more information on Latin America it will become a power house like middle eastern countries.
Without oil, middle eastern countries will no longer be power houses
Don’t hold your breath…
Hopefully not. Let us keep our low profile. We don't want inflated housing prices.
Literally just got back from Querétaro. So far, it's the cleanest, nicest city in Mexico Ive been to (haven't been to Mexico City). So, I have no clue what they're talking about
Names Santiago de Chile.. ends up roasting the hell out of Santiago 😂😂😂
Hola Te gusta santiago?
Santiasco jajaja
in santiago they cloned my credit card
@@directrue1742la verdad es que si
I’ve said this under a few videos but having a strong public transport system is a HUGE advantage for a location-independent person. Especially right now in Buenos Aires with how bad the Argentine Peso is, the fare for the Subte equates to like… 8 cents
with US dollars you mean ? for the locals it's expensive
Surprised you havent talked about Balneariu Camboriu and Gramado/Canela in Brazil. Balneariu is a big city, but Gramado/Canela are small towns but great to live if you want peace.
Ninguém quer viver no bostil, e se fossem só iam querer Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, o resto é só selva terceiro mundista
Those are not Major cities. Balneario is a 3rd tier city and Gramado/Canela are only atractive to you guys because It mímics Europe, for someone from actual Europe, its meh, small and boring.
@@castronator-mu3ye I see.. well, at least these cities are not infested with muslins and african rapists and unlike Europe these days, these cities try to bring more people BUT preserving our nationality and traditions.. Its a W for us then.
If you love nature, mountain, lakes, salmon fishing, cold weather.... You still have options in South America... You need to take a look to the south of Chile. Puerto Montt is the biggest city and best well connected, but you have others close, such as Valdivia that is one of "the most german cities" because of german migration in the XX century and it is also considered the safest city in Chile
salmon fishing in Chile is legendary!
@@chizzlemo3094 I've never been fishing but that sounds great. What makes it so legendary?
Anywhere in the Andes as well, if you don't want to be on the ass end of the world and add +5 hours to any flight.
How couldn't you mention Curitiba, Maringá, Florianópolis, Goiânia, Balneário Camboriú and Vitória in Brazil? There are good options in the country! Actually, the Economist just cherrypicks cities in Latin America as a whole, let's be honest!
Only global cities were evaluated in the ranking they're using as a base to the video (Global livability Index), so only São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro were included in Brazil. If these cities were capitals of their country, they would almost certainly be included in the ranking
Could not agree more…
@@enzonavarro8550 well, since when Calgary, and many American cities in their ranking are global? Look at the 'dots' in the US (many of those aren't global places either) but make to the list. At this point It's no secret to me there's an obvious preference from the magazine itself. Anyways...
As a Brazilian I wouldn’t recommend any city here, only for short term stays and if you really want to know the place.
The truth is that Andrew knows nothing of Brasil outside of what he is told, reads or gleaned from a short visit to Rio. Andrew does not know the South of Brasil nor any other states in Brasil. I have been here for approaching 20 years now and live in the South. Andrew is nothing more than a general contractor and knows what he knows. One thing I know with certainty is as far as LATAM and South America in general . . . he, personally, just book smart enough to sound like he knows anything about this region when in actuality his real world experience here is essentially of little significance.
Mexico City has some very good hospitals that accept foreign insurance companies. I had brain surgery and I'm fine. I've lived here for 6 years now.
So what american insurance is accepted in CDMX?
@@NSA-yw4cq Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, MetLife, Alliance, Cigna, Aon, United Healthcare, AXA, and others. The hospital called Medical Sur in Mexico City is a Mayo Clinic approved and certified hospital and the #1 hospital in the entirety of Mexico that accepts citizens and residents from the USA.
@@NSA-yw4cq I listed the insurance companies but RUclips deleted it. Go to hospital medica sur. They take all the regular health insurance like BCBS.
Totally agree with your thoughts on San Jose CR. It's a dump. Also on the pollution in Mexico City. I live in southern Mexico and we continually get tourists, both Mexican & foreigners, from CDMX that complain about it. They love the city but always complain about the air quality.
It is curious how the most livable cities and their level of English are related, if you receive the rankings of the level of English of each country in Latin America Argentina is in the first place while Mexico is in the last, I think that the level of English should also be taken into account
When you find a lot of people speaking english, you just found a highly educated and interesting place to live
I can’t believe the nerve of some of you complaining about the free content Andrew offers on a daily basis. He also cannot possibly mention every single city or have the same opinions on places to live. Please be respectful.
@@hbbstn Biased means to favor something. Everyone has a right to that and to share as well.
So are you saying the only reason you watch these videos is to criticize instead of getting good information ?
Andrew is marketing his organization so he does not do the videos out of the goodness of his heart. With regard to LATAM, Andrew's information is marginally more valuable than what he charges us to watch it . . . which you correctly state is zero. Andrew is a big boy, a capitalist right? He holds himself as an expert. Then he throws us this video based on a media poll, mentions that he spends little time in the region and makes illuminating statement with regard to how little he actually knows about the region. Please if Andrew wants to take offense to people expressing their opinions, instead of being icon worshippers, then maybe he could express himself.
Take a look in Gramado
Rio Grande do Sul is too far outside of Andrew's comfort zone. I live in Southern Brasil. I split most of my time in the Southern Cone . . . Andrew would last less than 10 minutes on the streets of Porto Alegre. RS.
Gramado was one of the safest place I’ve been in Brazil. Were it’s common to see Porsche 911 driving on the streets
Agreed, Gramado is safe.@@Denver_____
Nice place but boring AF. Unless you are a retired person and don't mind the cold.
@@Denver_____ Gramado is not a place you want to live, it's like a gated community, like all other vacation places in BR, like Buzios, Morro do SP, Porto de galinhas, and maybe the best ...Balneario Camboriu, at least it's a smaller city..
In Mexico with the right skill set you can earn really high income.
Please share, what skill?
Querétaro is least livable? What are they smoking at Economist?
Yup, they are smoking something illegal. QRO is one of the safest and cleanest cities in Mexico
@@NomadicRVLivingshhhhh
There are reasons why Panama has been repeatedly been in the top 3 places for US expats to relocate to. I have permanent residency there and love it there. I have spent time in Panama City and the mountains near Boquete. Casco Viejo is a cool place to check out if you visit Panama City. They use the dollar and have some American restaurants in Panama City. You literally have everything there from the Atlantic Ocean to the pacific ocean with world class beaches and surf to a major city for the urban environment, to rainforest and then the mountains area and a volcano. Don't need a furnace or air conditioning in the mountains from my experience.
Hey I heard your ad read on Stephan livera’s podcast today. I’m a regular listener of both you guys… love to see these worlds colliding! Bitcoiners are coming!
There are very good economic predictions in argentina for the next years. We hope javier milei can do what he promised to do. Great video!
Argentina is on my list, looking at the smaller cities though.

He already not doing what he said....shut the reserve bank...not happening....becoming far too friendly to US and even israel...cant be trusted imo
Recently, we have also talked about it in this video: ruclips.net/video/UYs4DCEsdBI/видео.html
The big edge of Mexico is its economic relationship with the USA. This is good for job opportunities in the tech field. Other regions in the Latin America don’t have this.
ONE OTHER big country makes MX look like a spec of sand
João Pessoa, capital of Paraíba is a very nice city that isnt too big yet. As long you mind the eternal summer (although it gets rainy during winter).
In the south of Brazil, we have a place that combines quality of life with a billion-dollar business environment. Caxias do Sul, in the prosperous state of Rio Grande do Sul, with 500 thousand inhabitants, close to Gramado, Canela and Bento Goncalves, is the industrial and financial heart of the Serra Gaucha. It is the second largest metalworking hub in Brazil, behind only São Paulo. Administrative headquarters of multinationals such as RANDON CORP, AGRALE, NEOBUS, MARCOPOLO and many others. City founded in the 19th century by Italian immigrants and entrepreneurs. It is an excellent city to live and undertake.
It’s curious because “time out”magazine ranked Mexico City in #6 position like “best cities” not in America, but whole World 😁
As a 30y.o. chilean citizen I wouldn't recommend Santiago as a liveable city, nowadays is a very dangerous city, crime is getting worse day after day bc our poor justice don't punish enough to stop crime, instead of that our justice system boost the criminal giving them even pensions in some cases, it allows criminals to avoid jail if they show a fake medical certificate about a disease so they can take vacations "at home" which is not fulfilled most of the times, the criminal is back at the streets in a couple of days until he gets caught again to be released later. If any person, turist or visitor, chilean or not, gets assaulted by a criminal is almost certain you will no get justice ⚖️.
Santiago has changed since I first visited it 17 years ago. Beautiful country and people but there is an undercurrent there politically that I am not attracted to . . . could it be its history with US intervention . . . Nixon/Kissinger, the "Chicago Boys", et al. The demonstrations where the subway stations got destroyed . . . that was the turning point for me with Chile. Too much tension now for me politically.
Why does it sound exactly like the USA ? Especially big cities
Look like the USA because we were forced by guns to become the USA
Sounds like an American blue city, thats for the post... will avoid.
The south american bolivarian disease reached chile 😢
I travel for work all the time in latin America. Hate MX city , santiago is nice but a upcoming city is San Salvador El salvador there is beautiful beaches 30 minutes away and lakes. Very safe now ! Perhaps safer than US
The first city whit high standard of life is punta del este in uruguay and the capital city Montevideo ,safe city ,and population caucasican
I think you haven't been much to Sao Paulo. It's the combination of all your drivers:
- 24-hour city
- sits on 900 meters above sea level but it's 50 minutes from the beach
- a dozen metro lines
- USD 100k residences in gated communities
- best spot in Latin America for concerts
- largest selection of awarded restaurants in Latin America, really diverse
- very strong shopping culture
- very clear pockets of safety
- easy to invest and get residence permit
- pleasant climate
- biggest consumer market in Latin America
- endless choices for exploring the near cities on quick-trips
- 4 hours drive from Rio
- 6 airports within 50 minutes drive
- home to 90% of all regional trade shows in South America
I was in Guatemala City last year. There are some nice parts of the city, but as a whole, I wouldn't live there. The rest of the country is beautiful.
That Aguascalientes ranked lower than Guatemala City made NO sense....I'm Guatemalan and have been to Aguascalientes, and it's safer, cleaner, richer, and more stable.
We can definitely split Brazil in 27 countries, but ppl stick to talk about few cities (merely the same Rio and Sao Paulo) sandly
I m german, living for about 5 years in Argentina now. Working 5 years for Argentine companies and got my permanent residence after 4 years working in the countrie. Buenos Aires is nice but but not always good for your mental Health. I want to go to live to the South. The province is to dangerous if Milei can fix it would be a livable place.
What parts made it bad for your mental health?
@@KJ-bc3de to much futbol (that makes Argentine people bad educated,there are people just living for futbol)neighbours doesn t respect anything, poor people getting on your nerve everywhere ringing on your department everyday and asking for clothes.

@@rafaelcalasanz3827 thanks for sharing . Do you live in a nice building or area ? Like upper class ? I'm here now , my phone got stolen ! I also found the hours of everything is annoying . But I explored belgrano it was good and felt very safe and upscale

@@KJ-bc3de I live in Caballito, its pretty nice though I love it, it so contradictory sometimes. I would consider myself as middleclass, south caballito would be the upper class I think,but its also everything mixed up.
We just have been 1 day without light because the electic facility burned down yesterday... yeah welcome to Argentina, you can have a lot of fun and enjoy but you have to take care where to go and how to behave.
Like I always say after living in different countries in latam. Mexico in general is the best option.
I’m really surprised about Aguascalientes and Querétaro in the least livable cities?!
Both of them are safe, beautiful, with all the attractions/ things people need.

El Salvador is the place if you are looking for security, friendliness, hospitality and freedom in general, it is a place with a promising future.... They are rebuilding a new country, this is the time to find good opportunities before the boom that is exploding. ...you can use US dollar and Bitcoin.
How about an update on El Salvador?
Good breakdown!

great advice, as always

Mexico City’s water infrastructure is failing. I’ve been spending a few months there every year for the past 4+ years and the city is drastically rationing water, even in the most prestigious neighborhoods. Most places need to truck in water every day to ensure a consistent supply. I would say this is enough of a reason to put hesitation on recommending the city, as there are so many common factors that can now severely disrupt your access to water.
yea, I use the metro and public transportation in Singapore and other cities that it is clean and efficient
If CDMX is on the Least livable list, Im really keen to see the places on the Most Liveable list
Pollution, overpopulation and traffic are points that affect Mexico City.
But in terms of tourist attractions, international connections, culture and entertainment, it is one of the most diverse in Latin America.
I spent time in CDMX, I live in London and honestly, those problems affect most major cities but they definitely are worse in the likes of London> CDMX in my view punches above its weight. Its not the most exciting for me. what is has to offer in terms of entertainment isnt my thing, but i found it extremely liveable. More so than even Bangkok and London, Bogiota etc@@miguelbs1930
I think you should check southern Brazil cities. Curitiba (where I live), Florianópolis and Porto Alegre are big cities (1 million plus population) with plenty of things to do, as well as business opportunities.
Wih half a million dollars in Venezuela you can buy 2 houses and live for 30 years no problem whatsoever. The problem is not having money
Let me add some more from Brazil, you won't regret knowing them!
Maringá, Cascavel, Curitiba, Pato Branco, Florianópolis, Itajaí, Joinville, Timbó, Campos do Jordão, Jundiaí, Belo Horizonte, Juiz de Fora, Imbituba, Porto Alegre, Torres, Caxias do Sul, Gramado.
There you'll find nice people, peace, all the comfort and convenience of any other big city, safety and good weather.
If Florianopolis is not among the most livable cities in latin America, this ranking is bullshiet
Chola mais zuca
@@ahsn1fan5 quem ti perguntou viralatas 😂😂

As soon as I saw San Juan, PR on the list, I skipped. PR qualifies as much as Miami.
I heard a joke about Miami....
He described Miami as a trailer park that won the lottery.
Btw. We are all "American": N, middle, and S. Gringos don't get to claim it but are ignorant enough to think they can
So santiago is like vancouver but without snow, with low housing price, excelent food, no war next door, no 200% of anual inflation, plenty of fresh drink water and without the murder score of california, texas or nyc, who wants that, we want some fun and adventure!!!
Im glad you didn’t name Medellin , it’s over ran right now 😂
Bogota, Medellín, Cali, Cartagena, and all Colombia. Every single corner is a paradise. Of course *Colombia is the Most Bio-diverse Country in the World by Km², and 2nd. by extension, after Brazil.*
*Colombia is called the Country of 1000 Rhythms, because it has 1,025.* Very rich musical culture. It is like 11 countries in one. Very wonderful vibe, and friendly people.
I can see Brazil, Argentina for sure. But there are so many South Americans entering the US illegally… I wonder if they know something we don’t? Venezuela for example.
Yes. I figure they aren't traveling thousands of miles to sleep in shelters because the sh*&holes they vacated are live-able.
@@108doublestitches Most of them are from Venezuela and Ecuador! the vast majority of the ones from South America.
There are many different realities. Being wealthy, having a well paying job VS being poor, not having a degree… in South America the contrast is huge. Many people who leave are in the latter category, they have access to better paying opportunities in countries such as the USA or Canada. There are also rich folk who move there, but usually they still maintain a large portion of wealth and ties in their native countries.
The user who arrogantly mentioned shitholes probably isn’t very well travelled.
what about panama?
Queretaro OK but why not :
San Miguel de Allende, it offers much more great restaurants, rooftops and culture. And probably safer.....
Buenos Aires, the best in the world
Very interesting perspective. In the context of geopolitical turmoil and rising Great Power conflicts, Latin America seems very safe, neutral and independent. It's also out of reach of long range missile, it has plenty of land with relatively low population density, plenty of natural resources. Yet at a more micro level, most countries remains relatively unsafe, and economically and politically volatile. So it's a mixed bag. As for cities, among those I have visited, Curitiba and Medellin probably come first. Santiago is beautiful and very safe, but indeed a bit boring. Apparently it is more difficult to assimilate culturally in Chile than in most other Latin American countries.
BRAZIL ?
well it's kind of hard to include Brazil when it speaks an unfamiliar language that keeps people from understanding the country.
Bostil é um lugar desprezível e subdesenvolvido de 4⁰ mundo, se tivesse qualquer lugar bom nesse buraco de m3rd4, não seria um dos países que mais envia ilegais para os EUA e UE 🤢
@@thealternativecontrarian9936that is a feature not a bug, heightens the barrier to entry. Anyone with a decent IQ can learn a new language, those who are too lazy to, you probably don’t want them in your country.
I don't uderstand how this rankings misses Florianópolis and Curitiba in south Brazil and nobody talks about it, neither this channel. Floripa actually has had thousands of digital nomads coming from Europe and Asia. Safe City, good infrastructure and gorgeos beachs and land scape. Not mentoning the great climate through out the year.
You can't fly nonstop from South America to Asia. It would seem a hassle for international travelers.
I understood his approach towards Brazil, it'd take a new video only to assess major and 2nd tier mid liveable cities.
I must point out that Mendoza and Cordoba are great cities as well to live a comfortable, enjoyable and secure life .
Just back from Argentina. Cordoba looked like a war zone - dirty full of homeless.
Hello - Firstly, thanks as always for sharing your knowledge. Will your team kindly share the website reference for the statistical graphic shown at 9:55 (scale of safest to least safe countries)? Much appreciated. Here's to a great 2024!
Brazilian cities having marks in the 70's was a bit surprising to me... how dangerous is it down there, actually... I keep hearing that the joke down there is, "have you been kidnapped, yet?"...
you may not use a METRO ,, or BUS.. but when a city has these, means that is a better place to visit or live.
He went only once to Montevideo during the summer ! Montevideo is not a summer city. People leave at that time and everything closes. So you have a partial vision of the city and life.
Latinoamerica has very friendly people!!! Lifestyle is a factor to take in consideration. Social life is important.
Absolutely! Latin America is renowned for its warm and welcoming people.
For what it’s worth, I lived in Querétaro, MX currently live an hour away and plan to move back there soon. It’s a great city (depending on your wants) one of the safest cities in Mexico, with a thriving middle and upper middle class.
Yes, QRO is one of the safest and cleanest cities in Mexico. I spent a month there but chose nearby SMA and love it.
@@NomadicRVLiving Glad you like SMA. That's where I currently live, but prefer QRO.
How anyone could put Querétaro on a least livable list is beyond me. I think it's far better than any other city in Mexico unless you're looking to be alone in the mountains
Curitiba and Gramado went off the radar, and maybe it is a good thing.
Consider Quito in Ecuador.
Surprised Florianopolis, Brazil didn't make the list.
It's definitely worth exploring Santa Catarina in the South of Brazil, by far the most developed state in Brazil and likely in Latin America, with a very strong European influence and lots of nature!

Livability rankings are a scoring system for companies to calculate the amount of compensation necessary when they are relocating their employees. So in theory, it should be parallel to the costs of running a "family", and not how nice it is live in that city :/
