I'm satisfied/very satisfied with São Paulo.

The city is great, amazing and diverse nightlife and food scenes, cosmopolitan, very open-minded, work-oriented culture with this sense you can achieve anything here (something common to primary cities), efficient and comprehensive public transit, several dense/pedestrian-friendly districts.

About the cons, people are still very autocentric which led to crazy traffic jams and stressed drivers. Even though there are many neighbourhoods with tree-lined streets, green areas are very few for a city this big and dense. As result, parks are overcrowded on weekends. It's an expensive city. Shopping center culture is very prevalent, they are everywhere, even in dense districts. You work a lot, you do long commutes and after years it takes a toll.
