Chile is the nicest country to live in Latin America and has a relatively efficient and honest bureaucracy compared to all of their neighbors. There is some, for Chile, relative backsliding with crime and social issues emerging as a problem, relative to what Chileans are used to, but really there is a wall of mountains separating Chile from the rest of Latin America and Chileans for the most part are lucky to live in their own little (globalized) first world bubble. Chileans are also free to travel without a visa pretty widely, and you don't see any exodus, so things are not that bad. Not to get all Rawlesian veil of ignorance, but I would rather be poor in Chile than poor in Argentina, Bolivia, or Peru. The nice thing you can say about the Chilean mainstream left is that they are very solidary people and actually do something about poverty, like people saw after the earthquake, Techo es another example. The other issue is there is the metropolitan region of Santiago, and the rest of Chile, and they may as well be two (or more) different countries in terms of attitudes and quality of life.
