Hello. I'm mexican and I really appreciate your opinion and I hope you can do the same with mine. Yes, please, don't come to Puerto Vallarta and any other part of the country and maybe to any other part of the word. To do that you need to think in adapt your self to the place you go. If you don't want to suffer with the changes, easy, don't come. If you think that my country need your money, sorry we don't. You are very welcome when you come with respect. Be sure about the law in Mexico. Foreign people can't have a property 50 km close to de shore. The water in Puerto Vallarta downtown especially are good to drink from the pipe. Like any other tourist place in the world you most have to be careful with your belongings. If you don't don't cry. If you need assistance you can ask for help to everyone just try to communicate in spanish, you are in mexico.if you want silence go to a retirement facility. If you want to be happy, free of criticism, good weather with amazing people then come to Mexico. If you think that I'm overreacting, think how's you origin country, why you try to change of location. Have a nice day.

[@LIVINGINPUERTOVALLARTAMEXICO]

Excellent comment Hector and I fully agree with you. You come to Mexico you adapt to the culture. I tried to get that across in the video. Respect for Mexican people and the Mexican culture is paramount. If you can’t speak the Spanish language, take classes and try to learn. At the very least be able to ask for what you need in Spanish. Even if your Spanish is not good, Mexican people love that you are trying and they will help you. One thing I do need to correct you on in your comment however is that foreigners CAN indeed own property within 50 km of the coast which means here in Puerto Vallarta. To clarify, the deed of your property is held in trust with a Mexican bank. Other than that you are the owner and have all the rights of a property owner just as you would with your property in the States, Canada or any other country. This means you can sell it, rebuild or renovate it any way you like and you can will it to your family if you wish. It is fully your property. The trust is for 50 years and renews every 50 years in perpetuity. Hope that clarifies the property ownership question. Thanks again Hector for the great input.

It's still better than dodging bullets, dealing with the homeless, the crime, the filth, the ramped politics of the government, the racism, the high taxes and out of control inflation, the car thieves etc. Yeah, I'll move to Puerto Vallarta anytime, just like the host of this announcement did.

Nothing compares to the beautiful place of Vallarta. Anywhere you go you'll find things to complain about. internet in Mexico is probably better than the USA and the water is an old mith for people that haven't been outside the USA at all. The noise, well it depends where you live-- don't buy a place near the beach if you don't want noise. Common sense for everything.. Peace .

[@deanguy66]

Totally love Vallarta, but I will agree with you regarding the noise situation. A late night Mariachi band doesn't bother me, but the pounding electronic music on the north end clubs of the Malecon is truly awful. We used to love staying at Hotel Rosita, but the last time we stayed, the pounding "music" went on until about 5:00 am and that was the last time we stayed there. In Tenerife, Canary Islands, the clubs have to cut the music way down after 10:15.

[@sararichardson737]

The concept of noise pollution and it’s detrimental affects has yet to come to Mexico. Music is weaponised here not played: if it’s not loud it’s not on!

Hi my relatives have vacationed in Puerto Vallarta I bout fell over when I heard about the 1000 room hotel they stayed in I think it may have been time share in any case that's ridiculous. Speaking of driving in Mexico city forget it. Stop signs are run this was in 1974 and that night when I took a bus from Mexico city the driver drove fast and scary. Fortunately that happened just once When I was going to. Instito Allende I rented an apartment by the school problembwas next door they had pig ect it was. No problem for scorpions to climb but and over the wall I wiped out 7 of them in my 4 month stay in San Miguel before I flew back to California other parts of Mexico like Puerto Escondido seem better I just saw a you tube video on p.e. today thank you for your tips on the roads and sidewalks innp.v.😊

We are in AZ - that mentality can surface here too. But that just can’t work here - u get fired or we find someone else more willing to do the work. It can be easy to have a business if u do a good job and just show up! So then do u do the work yourself? We find we do a lot of that here as well. Finding dependable help can be hard. Florida was worse. And they would scam you more/ take you money and not do the work. Makes life and trusting people difficult.

@@manuelg5660 Manuel. Thanks for your comment. However, with all due respect, you totally lost the plot on this video. Couple of things you should know….Im actually Irish although I did live in the US for many years. I can’t figure out where in my video that “this guy” (I assume that’s me) ever complained about any of the things mentioned in the video. “This guy” distinctly said that these things might bother some people but not most. I’m included in the “not most” category as I totally love living in Mexico and prefer it to the US all day long. In fact, the video is primarily addressed to those that might have an issue with some of the things I talked about and just like you, I hope these kinds of people don’t ever come to live in beautiful Puerto Vallarta or anywhere in this awesome country. Hope that clears it up for you. Thanks. Stan

It’s also not the country to move to if you want Mexico to be like the USA and Canada or any other country for that matter. I’ve seen expats here who get annoyed over the culture here and complain that it’s not like this at home. No it’s not like where you came from. It’s a different culture, a beautiful culture, so embrace it. If you can’t do that then you really shouldn’t come to Mexico. That’s my 2 cents worth.

Garbage! Certain "nice" colonias like Fluvial or the Marina seem to escape this. We have pick-ups daily from central spots on every street and times to put out your bags. Still, tucked away on back streets we have mounds that are ripped open and sit / accumulate for weeks. Tossing things on the street seems acceptable and most of us sweep daily so it is an acceptable practice. I have had many tell me this is a Vallarta issue and rarely seen elsewhere.

[@LIVINGINPUERTOVALLARTAMEXICO]

Hi Bob. Thanks for your great comment. I didn't mention garbage because it's not a major issue in most neighborhoods. I have been to many different places in Mexico and have seen some with really bad garbage situations. Puerto Vallarta is not by any means a dirty city but some areas do have more garbage on the streets than others. i didn't think it was a bad enough issue to keep people from living here so I didn't mention it in the video.owever it is a consideration and thanks for bringing the issue up.

[@LIVINGINPUERTOVALLARTAMEXICO]

Hi June. Thanks for your comment. i was surprised. Did someone tell you that I "don't even know the language" or did you decide that? I do think you missed the point of what I was saying though. I was talking about the concept of the Mexican culture being laid back and not putting emphasis on being in a hurry unlike a lot of Americans and Canadians are. Mañana (Tomorrow) in that context basically means "never do today what can just as easily be done tomorrow" . I sense that you are pissed off with the video pointing out some negative things about Puerto Vallarta and the Mexican culture. In fact, it is the opposite. This video is aimed at those people who think these things would be negatives and as such should not bother coming to live in Puerto Vallarta or anywhere in Mexico. After all, who needs people who can't or won't adapt to the culture of their host country and want Mexico to be like the country they are leaving. I love Mexico, the Mexican people and the Mexican culture. Adapt or stay home is my philosophy. C heers.
