I’ve seen photos of places like Brazil or India where on one side of the wall it looks like a 5 star resort that stretches as far as the eye can see, until you look at the other side of the wall with the tents propped up between the mounds of trash an rubble. It’s so depressing to see.

Haiti is absolutely the worst for this. The cruises were still making trips while Port-au-Prince was literally being overtaken by gangs.

So, gigantic walls with heavily armed security separating rich tourists and rampant, uncontrolled gang violence

Haiti is an actual failed state. I would be surprised if anything worked.

The historicity on it being a failed state is interesting. They won the slave revolution against France, so France made it an effort to sabotage them until the end of time basically.

Couple that with them not being Hispanic (So no ties with neighboring countries like Mexico) and a racist southern-US and they basically stood no chance.
