社会经济方面的种族隔离，一直是人们移居外地的原因，但现在这因素作用不大了。在圣保罗，友好的人们聚在一起，使得富有的圣保罗市民不再介意周边大型的贫民窟。在里约，贫民窟都建立在小山坡上，人们可以俯瞰到下面所有邻里的状况，所以人们更不会盲目选择这里作为居住的地方。但是这似乎使富裕的里约本地人意识到，放弃并不是解决贫穷和暴力的途径。社区监督， 新兴的城市机制为该城市带来了安全和公共服务。从科巴卡巴纳海滩往上走二十分钟，相当于两个贫民窟的路程，在那里有两个包含了医疗，护理的内容的Chapeu Mangueira and Babilonia正在修建，并且24小时营业。附近的公寓价格也有所上涨，其他贫民窟也实现了类似的大翻身。

即使这意味着雷森得像其他很多商人一样，每周都要飞往里约一两次，在他心中圣保罗的经济魅力还是重于里约的风光和情调。但可现在这种看法却远没有原来那么站得住脚了。
In the 1990s Sao Paulo was more influential and better run: it is the stronghold of the Party of Brazilian Social Democracy (PSDB), the national party of government from 1995 to 2002. Now the PSDB is in its third term of opposition in Brasilia, and though it still governs Sao Paulo state, it is weakened by internal feuds.
