Hace varios años allá por 1999-2003, ciudad Neza estaba peor y más desorganizado, varias calles sin pavimentar y sin luz eléctrica y las pandillas eran el verdadero terror, muchos jóvenes asesinados y en malos pasos que pertenecían por zonas, ahí un grupo de rap mexicano llamado sociedad café que es de esos años y relatan cómo era dura la vida ahí también vivían muchos rockeros y la banda status Quo vino varias veces a tocar a lado del bordo en la deportiva.

[@mermeladapink848]

Yo fui de neza, hace 6 años que no vivo ahí si no en Chile, crecí y viví bien a pesar de las carencias economícas de mi familia, es un lugar lleno de comerciantes y trabajadores que quieren salir adelante, en todo el tiempo que viví en Neza, 20 años para ser exacta, solo una vez fue que me asaltaron, soy de la zona cerca del estadio, muchos de mis compañeros y conocidos de mi edad no tuvieron la suerte de ir a la universidad o cumplir sus sueños antes de tener una familia, pero, han sido gente de bien, Neza tiene mala fama, con decirte que hasta me han discriminado mis propios compatriotas en Chile solo por que les dije que yo nací y crecí ahí, sin embargo, siempre la voy a extrañar, a pesar de que no vivía con lujos, esa ciudad, me dio lo que necesitaba, un hogar, familia, amigos, recuerdos, etc. Saludos, este video me ha encantado, por el covid no viaje este año, ver las calles donde solía pasar, me ha hecho feliz.

I'm really impressed ! You're unique and different from all the other guys talking the same bullshit comments about CDMX. I'm from that municipality. It's the most recent one in the state of Mexico. It's a little bit more than 60 years old and before all that urbanization, there was dried salty soil of a previous huge salty lake running from there to the airport. People from the city always talk badly about Neza but they don't have any clue about the difficult origin and the situations the first inhabitants suffered. Man you really rock.

@@davidostrowski679 the people living in harsh conditions that you saw in Chimalhuacán are known in the community as PARACAIDISTAS which literally means parachuters, they're homeless families that build their tin or carton houses in those areas and every now and then the government will destroy their homes and kick them away but this community always rebuilds after the authorities leave. My mom was a cleaning lady, when I was a boy she used to take me to people's houses for her to clean. If you're ever feeling adventurous you can take the bus up to "pileta parte alta" pass Chimalhuacán and that will take you to Chimalhuacán's planetarium/water park nice area and you can see a big part of mexico from this area as "pileta" is all the way up to the top of Chimalhuacán's "cerro" (hill).

@@davidostrowski679 No, the social services are first class in England but Uni education is a problem for the poor. In Scotland, it is like in Mexico, you can go to Uni for free. My point is the opposite of what you say: in Mexico Uni education is free for those who simply cannot help themselves by getting money to pay for a private Uni. In the UK, If you are disabled and you cannot work, tough, the social services need to help you. That is a good thing. The only time people fake things is when they want to claim from private insurance.

@@davidostrowski679 BTW, I talked about that guy because my children will have to go to Uni in England, not Scotland, so we will have to fork out the money to pay for it.

[@Perrys-mar]

Neza dejó de ser un barrio para convertirse en una Gran ciudad!

[@LuisGarcia-dh7dk]

Come on every big city has its rough places , like Newham, Croydon, westminister in London for example....

[@davidostrowski679]

haha i used to work in Newham

[@ctochtli2964]

This isn't "part of a city" this is the city, the 90% of the city is in this condition, ther is only a small part that is "rich" and is almost in other city 😉

[@eduardosantiago8791]

David, un video diferente, de la cara de una periferia de la Cdmx, me gustaria que supieras la verdad fundacional de ese municipio del edomex, que es parte de la zona oriente de la cdmx, junto con iztapalapa, hasta texcoco, solo te digo algo para que veas la profundidad de los habitantes de este municipio, la generación actual que vive ahi es la 5a desde su origen en lo que fue parte del gran lago de texcoco, y de ahi cada una de las 4 anteriores con su propio perfil historico, neza es un caso unico en la demografia de México, igual que Ecatepec su propia historia, diferente a Tijuana, es decir asentamientos humanos con migrantes proventientes del sur de la republica
