When was the last time you were in Geneva? It deteriorates with each passing year. Homeless druggies on Rue du Rhone were not possible even 5 years ago, now they are there every 50 metres. The worst part is that now, during the summer, the ambient weed smell mixes with the evaporation from the lake to produce a truly obnoxious atmosphere.
