I have lived in Mexico City, have been all around the many colonias and have visited countless times over the years. I’ve never seen poo or smelled piss in any of the streets. That comment about people who don’t have homes doing their business on the street is complete BS. That happens in SF, LA, NYC and Austin. It rarely if ever happens in Mexico City. Not to mention, while you see one homeless person here an there (esp. with the impact of the pandemic), the city does not have anywhere near the # of homeless people many US cities have. Be careful in making generalizations and watch your biases.

I hear you. The truth is there was a couple times I saw Human feces on the ground. I have seen it in American cities too. My comment was a compliment to the continued effort by the street sweepers like the lady behind me while I said that who was cleaning up after people.

I do not think the Guy was being culturally insensitive at all. People cannot say anything anymore. He was not talking about the USA. Everybody knows all this. I have seen some poo and homeless looking stuff in D.F. but nowhere near anything like the USA. Same in all other Latin and Asian Countries. I just know these places.

Not sure why so defensive but I saw A LOT of homeless in Reforma, esp after dark. Nothing to get worked up about, it's a fact of life in most parts of the world. I can't say I saw any of them defecating out on the streets but whatever. Not sure how many businesses would be thrilled hosting them in their washrooms that are reserved for their custies. Just how it is, get over it.

God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, * abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and *please repent.*
