It’s an uncomfortable question, I know, easy to get emotional, but I know we all noticed this. It’s obvious, but nobody speaks about it publicly. We do quietly.

@Omar_ghxd Uneducated/blind guesses: - Christians were there first and those who stayed kept the "best" parts. - Fewer Christians means more solidarity through favorable terms of trade. - Sampling effect: larger Muslim regions means a larger sub-group of underdeveloped regions.

@Nabil_Alouani_ It’s not that they took the best parts, you could go to any area and when the city becomes nicer, tidier, better architecture, more fun, you know you’re in a Christian part. They could be just next to a Muslim part..

@Omar_ghxd Good point . The souk and riviera in Tyre is very nice though !!

@riemannsurface1 I was about to say, parts of Tyre are the only exception

@Omar_ghxd Smaller populations (less littering) and greater western influence. The latter is a mixed bag but public orderliness is an undeniable plus.

@ibnAbiAli Not necessarily, some very densley populated places Christian towns like Zahle or East Beirut are also nice.

@Omar_ghxd Well, I think we already know 😁

@ellinonorvigiko Do we? 👀

@Omar_ghxd Serail and Mina el Hosein are beautiful and well kept places as well

@PierreC47402576 Exceptions

@Omar_ghxd Two of the main points that i can think of: - missionary schools which have brought western ideologies and improved education, which automatically refines QOL -muslim parties have adopted leftist ideologies in the past which has set their loyalty to foreign causes/entities

@Speedyzh Excellent points Also, a liberal, life loving, beauty appreciating mindset.

@Omar_ghxd Lebanese interest first, what do you think?🤔

@Elio_w Nah it’s more than just that.

@Omar_ghxd There are Muslims from Batroun and every other place you mentioned… also these places are all major tourist spots and if that’s a pic of Tripoli you posted we all know that area is a dump because of poverty and what comes with that

@_ganjitsu Christian majority places* I know it’s a dump, thats my question, and no, this Ouzei.

@Omar_ghxd Higher rates of emigration play a role big tbh. My village in Lebanon is very nice & proper with many nice villas, well-maintained public facilities, etc. bc of a high emigration & education rate. My mom’s village, though, is poorer & more dense, has fewer orange roofs, less-

@levantophile Why does Akkar suck though, so many emigrants from there.

@Omar_ghxd - Christian values that align with personal freedom hence capitalism. -Missionary schools played a role in providing education that helps in development. - High rates of emigration that brought in money and ideas Regardless i believe that muslim areas will improve with time.

@michaelmalouf_ This.
