Probably not very happy? Quite possibly the same way people in Casal Ventoso in Lisbon felt when looking at Cascais and Estoril?

Possible normal human emotions among the extremely poor would be jealousy, possibly despair or frustration, but then again I would imagine those emotions come out as much or more when they walk around Midway Mall or any of the new super shopping centres where local Brazilians and Europeans are buying Armani, Gucci, Versace and Rip Curl at prices which would make Europeans blush.

What percentage of the 880.000 population of Natal do you think live in Favelas?
