Centripetal Horse posted:Why does Croatia seem to be so crippled? Some of the stuff Fatbeard says makes Croatia sound like a mildly dystopian future-city. Slovenia has less than half Croatia's population, but only a 25% smaller GDP. Croatia has 60% higher unemployment than Slovenia, and 50% more of its population living below the poverty line. Slovenia has more than twice the exports of Croatia dollar-wise. Their histories are pretty intertwined. What has Slovenia been doing differently?

A SWEATY FATBEARD posted:You are correct, Zagreb has little to nothing to offer, unless you're interested in urban decay and (decaying) brutalist architecture. Every summer I'm seeing foreign tourists walking around with their maps and backpacks and stuff, and literally all of them look lost and disappointed. I always get this urge to apologize to them for coming to Zagreb. Although one thing that Croats are the champions of is negative thinking and incessant self criticism. So, eh I'd take what he says with a grain of salt.

The center and upper city have a nice atmosphere, there's a bunch of parks, abandoned mom&pop stores are now hipster crafty places and graffiti are a pretty normal occurence in many places in the world and contrary to your description it is much much cleaner than even most of the bigger cities in the west. You're looking at it through a very negative lense. Living in the centre isn't the same as tourists that visit some place, it's not like they'll go actively searching for lovely spots. Hell I wouldn't want to live in the center either, but more because of noise than anything. It's really not nearly as bad as you think, living in some place and the negativity that surrounds you can really make you lose the perspective though, so I understand.
