India is indisputably much safer than America. The infrastructure has improved *dramatically* over the last ten years and the internet works.
Photos will always be accused of being cherry picked, but the respective rates of ascent (and, unfortunately, descent) are palpable.

By the way, I'd rank this as among the most surprising developments in my life.
In 1990, 2000, or even 2010, if you'd told me an Indian city would flip an American city, I'd have been very dubious.

One reason I'd have been dubious is that it's easy to destroy a city (as even SF's mayor now admits is happening), but hard to build one up.

Also, I'm only cautiously optimistic about India, given the 2 steps forward, 1 step back nature of the place.
And it's very sad to see the US trajectory. Long topic, but don't think it's easily reversible. More likely to see dollar collapse, a serious reset, *then* a rebuild.
