El Salvador is safe now. Canada safe, everyone keeps telling me, and I didn’t really believe this could be true before arrival, but it does feel very safe. Since 2019, the country has gone from the highest homicide rate in the world to the lowest in the Western hemisphere. Nayib Bukele cleaned up gang activity, built the biggest prison in the world for gang leaders, made bitcoin a national currency, and now things are safe. Everyone keeps talking about breath; you didn’t used to be able to breathe easily on the streets here, and now you can. I don’t really know how these things play out in the long term. I’m not qualified to speak on the effective longevity of this, or really to speak qualitatively on this at all. El Salvador does feel safe, though. Safe and open and alive.
