Like I said in another comment, the (bad) fame stuck with Sao Paulo due to the 80s and 90s. Sao Paulo was one of the most dangerous cities in Brazil back then. Many of us grew up or spent a good deal of our lives watching news about violence in Rio and Sao Paulo. It also helps that, due to the fact that its so big and a major economic hub, news related to violence in Sao Paulo are more often broadcasted to the whole country and this feeds the bias even further. But violence has declined sharply since then. The worst places in the country are, by far, in the North and Northeast of Brazil right now (when it comes to big cities). That doesn't mean Sao Paulo is completely safe, and also there are good and bad areas, but considering the country as a whole, São Paulo is a pretty solid place to be. I'm a brazilian and I always feel safe there. Just don't go flashing expensive smartphones around because that turns you into a target in any big city.

[@gurumboitata]

Além de italianos e japoneses, o Brasil também foi o país que mais recebeu libaneses e sírios na história, mais do que os países árabes vizinhos, o que é impressionante: tem mais descendentes de libaneses no Brasil hoje do que tem de população no Líbano inteiro. O Brasil foi também o segundo país que mais recebeu alemães no mundo, só perdendo pros EUA.

São Paulo is the safest capital in Brazil by quite a big margin - the murder rate is around 4.6 for 100k, just about the same as New York. However, there are some neighbourhoods where it's more dangerous than literal warzones. Of course, those places are usually far away from places where people visit and most of the violence is between criminals or between the police and criminals. As a general rule, São Paulo is a safe city for tourists and residents and most people wanting to leave Brazil is mostly because of politics and how unpredictable things like economy really is. Not even downtown and Japantown where you visited is really all that dangerous, it looks seedy but it's just because is old and cluttered.

[@robertsants9820]

Segurança não se baseia apenas em homicídios. O que mais afeta a segurança da população são os assaltos, roubos ,furtos. E nisso SP não é nada seguro , nem aqui no no Interior do estado é. Ninguém se sente seguro sabendo que ao andar na rua pode parar um cara de moto com revólver apontado na sua cara, ou então com medo de abrir o portão de casa pra tirar o carro e se deparar com um marginal a espera pra te roubar. Nisso a capital SP é uma das cidades mais perigosas do Brasil , todo mundo anda na rua com medo de ser assaltado

People will automatically answer that Sao Paulo is very dangerous, even native paulistas, because the fame from the 80s and the 90s got stuck into the collective mind of the nation. Sao Paulo used to be one of the most dangerous cities in Brazil. One of the highest homicide rates. It has dropped sharply in the last 20 years. It is actually one of the safest cities in Brazil right now (relative to population of course, not in absolute numbers). People can say ``no way`` but it`s just statistics. Yes, you can get robbed, but to be honest, I know many people who were robbed in Paris, Madrid, and other european important cities. I was robbed myself in Portugal a while ago when I was visiting (lost my cellphone). Im in no way saying Sao Paulo is less violent than those when it comes to theft. But Sao Paulo is nowhere there the levels of the 80s and 90s. It has improved A LOT. That doesn`t mean Brazil is safe. Many regions are absolutely dangerous. But Sao Paulo is rather safe nowadays in general given it`s size. It`s huge, so there areas that are worse off, of course. Just stay away from the worst areas and you`ll be ok. Don`t flash expensive stuff because that turns you into a target in almost any big city.

[@Edgar2023ES]

Você não pode usar a taxa "baixa" de homicídios para afirmar que São Paulo não seja violenta. A violência é um fenômeno complexo e possui várias facetas: roubos, furtos, feminicidios, golpes, estupro, chantagens, discriminação, intolerância, segregação, ferimentos, vida indigna e ainda tem as chamadas submissões físicas (como empurrões, como acontece nos transporte público).

[@R.a.f.a.e.l.]

@@Edgar2023ES @Edgar Sabe ler inglês? Não falei que não tem violência, mas sim que houve melhora significativa de 20 anos pra cá em muitos índices que são levados em consideração para medir violência. Homicídios é apenas um deles. Compare taxas relativas (por cem mil habitantes) de diversas categorias (furtos, latrocínio, roubos, homicídios, etc) e verá que São Paulo, entre as cidades grandes, está bem. Inclusive melhor que muitas cidades grandes americanas. Não se conta "empurrões no transporte público" ou "chantagens" pra medir violência. Pelo menos não de forma objetiva. De for pra falar de violência de forma tão abstrata não existe discussão racional. Os indicadores e suas séries históricas estão lá pra você mesmo ir comparar SP de agora com a de 30 anos atrás.
