The cost of living may well be the last straw for many who live on the margins of society who cannot get jobs or are unemployable they have not had good education or training. Unless the Government in Brazil come to grips with what is happening - Then it looks like the future will be one of increased violence and robbery. Even those who think they are safe in condominiums - can think again.....its not even safe if staff on the gate let the theives in.

You are right about the closed Condominiums. I have 2 Brasilian freinds whose familys
weekend houses (in closed condominiums) were robbed during the week when they were not there. In both cases apparently security staff were connected. Condominiums are just more of a deterant to robberies, but certainly no guaranteed your TV will still be there where you left it last week.
