Old Higienópolis shopping centre...home of the most expensive cinema in town. Did you see in the news today that people from that neighbourhood organised a petition to stop a metro station being built there? Apparently they were looking to avoid "undesirable occurrences" like street vendors and generally to stop poorer people from getting there more easily. More unbelievable still is that the Metro actually canned the project.
Jesus, where did you find that?!
