The Economist: Medellin is "Colombia's most successful city"

[12is12]

I'm not posting a link, bcs it's only for subscribers. U can read the attached fotos.

Highlights:

Success is evidenced by the fact that 2 of the 3 presidential candidates r ex-mayors.

Rate of homicides is lower than Chicago's.

Great transportation system, connecting the far comunas to the center.

Very successful municipal utility - EPM.

However: too many sex tourists; conspicuous drug use in public parks; small local criminal gangs - "combos" - still control large areas; most poorer residents have more faith in them than in the police or in city hall.

FYI
