Trading LA for Rio: A Cheaper, Richer Life Behind a Gated Community

A Brazilian-born content creator, Luca Martins, moved from Los Angeles back to Rio with his wife and now lives in a large gated complex that includes a supermarket, gym, pool, spa, and more. Their 800-square-foot, two-bedroom apartment costs about $1,600 a month—roughly half of his LA rent—allowing for a higher quality of life, more social connection, and easier travel, with enhanced safety and a sense of community at the center of daily life.

Rio Court Convicts Police Chief and Politician in Marielle Franco Murder

Brazil’s Supreme Court convicted Rivaldo Barbosa (former Rio Civil Police chief) and two Brazãos for ordering the 2018 assassination of Rio councilwoman Marielle Franco and her driver, closing an eight-year pursuit that exposed links between paramilitary gangs, the police, and politics.
