It's getting worse


Around 6.30 they do a fantastic summary of the creation of suburbs and the process of gentrification and how and why it hurts people living in the places that get gentrified.

You know what, I can see their argument, but a lot of the blame should go to those who raise the prices on everybody as well. Same problem everywhere in the world: a lot of smoke for the people who move in, but not much for people who charge more money who are being opportunistic.

It's also funny to see the whole "Oh yeah, I got Spanish in my blood or family from Mexico!" play.

Watched the whole video. They touched on that and the government actually made some changes that might help control prices

Whole video is good. They do go in on the developers who raise prices when they notice foreigners moving in and try to run Airbnb schemes.

I’ll be visiting Mexico City next month. Will hit up Polanco, Roma, and Condesa (the expat bubble). If I like what I see, I just may consider moving there.

Yanqui go home!

99% of the Americans there immigrated legally and are middle to high income earners with college degrees or old retirees living off a pension and 401k. Complete opposite of what Mexico sends to us. Yanqui go home that lil expat economy go home with it you sure you want that cause ya boy Trump might swap it out send some face tat Mexicans back for bachelor degree gringos??? :sas2:
