In cities all over Brazil — from this gritty metropolis to the crown jewel of Rio de Janeiro and smaller places in the middle of the Amazonian jungle — nightfall brings out swarms of desperate addicts looking for their next fix in districts known as “cracolandias,” or cracklands.
And like the crack wave that slammed the United States, the result here is the same — lives destroyed, families upended, neighborhoods made uninhabitable.
[...]
Out in Sao Paulo’s cracolandia on a recent night, emaciated men, and a few women, crowded around pipes, the soft glow of burning rocks lighting up the darkness. Some huddled under blankets, guarding their precious rocks. Others walked the streets in a frenzy, looking for someone to sell them the day’s ecstasy.
Their precious.

Brazil is repeating the last half century of US history at a 4:1 accelerated pace. Next up: stock market bubble, ill-conceived foreign war and real estate crash.

In SP, we had the Crackland, a neighbourhood full of drug addicts.

Soma, you forgot the obesity epidemic, hopefully those Brazilian fatties start hitting the C-pipe!
Yep, already there:
More than 50 per cent of adults in Brazil are (overweight or) obese and the rate of obesity is growing by 1 percentage point per year.
Also, the accelerated conflation of gender roles, rise of feminism, etc. goes without saying.

Like others in here have said, with an expanding economy comes expanding wallets. More money in the pocket means a boom time for the vices. Anything really; gambling, drugs, women, etc.
There are little drug spots like this EVERYWHERE. This is a big time heroin spot not so far from where I live:
Hunts Point, Bronx NYC Prostitute/Drug Zone
