"risk of getting shot and carjacked is too real"

check and check, when I was 17 and 20.

Your whole assessment is perfect, enumerating most of the reasons that made me leave.

São Paulo, or some other part of the country?

São Paulo. Stray bullet to the head (luckily just a scratch) and then having my car (and everything else I had with me) jacked at gunpoint.

I was robbed when biking, got me in the leg. Carjacked a couple of years later with ATM visit, clothes, wallet, etc gone.

How did you leave, if I may ask?

I have a feeling that it is very hard to emigrate to a better country.

Found a job in Canada in 2003 and still here. Canada, AFAIK, has an easier immigration process than US, and regulations are less stringent for work permits.
