I was told Budapest was a magnificent city with a based population. What I saw was dirty with a lot of tatted up bros and even more so chks. I was expecting something with the feel of Moscow, Minsk or before the war Kiev - clean and orderly with a lot of culture. There is culture here but its surrounded by trash and graffiti and Hungarian frat bros. The women are hot but lack the wholesomeness found in many Slavic women. Still Budapest was way better than NYC or LA.
Conclusion: based policy does not imply a good city.
