So although Rio is a great city and I love it, it's very chaotic and there are a lot of issues with traffic jams and violence. There are areas where you need to be very cautious, and you need to worry all the time when you go outside if you're going to get robbed or assaulted. So this is something that I would be concerned about. If I were to concentrate on some issues to fix, these would be the main issues that I would focus on.
