From the Banco de la República – Sucursal Cartagena www.banrep.gov.co/es/dtser-246It's in Spanish. The Abstract in English "Cartagena is undergoing a time of major economic boom due to buoyant sectors such as industry, tourism and port activity. We study social exclusion and environmental vulnerability in Cartagena in the current economic growth scenario. We describe the main socio-economic indicators of the city and compare them with other major cities and metropolitan areas. The results shows that Cartagena reflects a relative backwardness on poverty and coverage of basic public services. In environmental terms, vulnerability is greater in areas inhabited by people of lower income, neighborhoods where also live the highest proportion of African descent. Through principal component analysis, we built in an indicator of social exclusion and find that Cartagena ranks first among the thirteen major cities. This result reflects the need to take advantage of the current situation and design policies that allow the city to reduce social exclusion and to be better prepared to address climate change." According to the paper Cartagena is the 5th largest city by population in Colombia, 3rd largest economically in Colombia, 2nd highest percentage of citizens living with poverty in Colombia. Trickle down economics at it's best.

Another words -- social engineering and wealth redistribution is required -- by the same old political hacks
The difference --
With ex-pats--They happily share their wealth in Colombia for a piece of ass--- At least they do so voluntarily----not required by some socialist politician
Venezuela is a prime example of redistribution of wealth
Dumb people are dumb -- which is why the U.S. education system has been dumbed-down the last 30 years-- Having a graduation certificate now entitles them to guaranteed government employment-- that is if they do not get shot first by another dummy--
