But so many people mistakenly associate modernity with cleanliness, and not everyone feels comfortable in super-clean, well-organized, "nice" cities! I'm one of them!I tend to run from them!
I don't think there's any dirty cities left in this country, they've all been mostly cleaned up, sterilized, just like the city I live in, Las Vegas, but when I get out of town I want to travel somewhere where there's still some disorder, not-niceness and some dirt!
well.... come to France, where cities are both sanitized modern and swamped with litter (quite a feat) : the polar opposite of Latin America, and the consequence of an affluent society where (most) citizens are not environmentally conscious. Personally, I prefer old buildings/sidewalks/public amenities, but litter-free. To each his own I guess...

I'm thinking of Florianopolis, Brasil . I'd like to visit that part of Brazil because a Brazilian told me that it is cleaner and more secure than most Brazilian cities : is it true ?
I'd say Curitiba in Brazil is the most organized and clean city in Latin America. That said, there a much more interesting and beautiful cities to visit.
Walking around Tijuana, I've seen them scrubbing, cleaning the sidewalks in the morning, but when it's all done, it's clean, but doesn't look clean, due to aging conditions!
That goes for a number of other cities that don't look clean, but are clean!

That is nice, i prefer to live in places where people don't throw their trash on the floor and take a dump in public.... that is why i love living in Midwest suburbia, the only litter here is caused by trash flying out of the garbage trucks but its usually all cleaned up within that day.
Also I want to state that this is just Spanish speaking Latin America, no Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, Belize, Haiti, or Quebec.
