Why can’t it be all races? Can you imagine someone saying love seeing all white KZbinrs together? How racist would that sound? And it’s ok to say it regarding black? Isn’t that a double standard? It’s just sad..

[@TheYarbros]

@@24hrstolive27 We don't see it as a double standard at all. "White" KZbin is already a thing and deeply implied. When you cut on KZbin you do not see ppl of color let alone black couples touring the world. We represent the vanguard and appreciate the love and support. Love is universal and support is personal. As an American who is living in a country that has blatantly trampled over black lives since its inception maybe you don't understand that it's a part of our culture to support eachother in this way. It's OUR culture. Before leaving the states I was the ONLY Black man in the boardrooms at most of my jobs. Anytime another brother or sister was hired (no matter the department or position) I rushed to give them a spirit of solidarity and support (Black Love) because ik how lonely it feels to be someplace that dosent understand your values or perspective. That said we love universally and rep for all who can vibe w/ us. The only thing sad is when ppl have a problem w/ a culture they don't understand....thats a privilege and stance w/ no foundation.

We aren't certain yet if SMA will make our final location as a place to retire. So far, it's incredibly beautiful, we love living in Colonia Bellavista, and the people are amazing. It's expensive here, though, and we don't know yet if that boho artsy vibe (and I'm an artist) and the good food is enough to make up for the higher cost of living. We left Asheville, NC to move to Mexico, and SMA reminds me in many ways of Asheville. Everything costs more from a haircut to groceries. We will be here for a total of 3 months before we move onto the next city that is on our list. I just found your channel today and I'm a new subscriber - this was a GREAT video. I really liked your perspective and look forward to seeing more. Awesome job, guys! ~Gina

Hello Gina and thanks for the Sub! Happy hunting. We hope you find your place in Mexico!

[@mariamar2114]

As a Mexican I recommend you visit because some others say that it is very noisy there, a lot of rockets at night and the dogs bark a lot.

[@GringosRUs]

@@mariamar2114 And we can say that both of those statements are true. We did hear dogs quite frequently and they do like their fireworks. We are now in San Luis Potosi inside the city and have found it to be much quieter than SMA. Of course there are still barking dogs, and the occasional peacock, but overall, it is much quieter at night than San Miguel de Allende.

[@anitamendez116]

As always, great, informative and engaging video. My husband and I live In Queretaro and we visited SMA. We felt like you Randell, too many gringos. We love the town, history and culture, however, my husband was bombarded with the locals hustling him. It is one thing to ask for money (which we did give to those who were in need) but it is another thing to be persistent after saying no (very respectfully) many times. It is the opposite In Queretaro, people ask for money, however, when we are not able to give, they are respectful and go on their way. They do not continue to hustle us. It was unfortunate that we had that experience because it left a bad taste in our mouth about the town. My husband and I seem to do better in areas that are more local and indigenous. We are committed to a one year rental lease which expires in May and we will be traveling through Mexico as Nomads. With the help of your great videos throughout the past couple of years, We are very excited to experience the many wonders of Mexico. Thank you for your love and hard work.

Choosing to make San Miguel de Allende your home offers numerous advantages. This charming Mexican town boasts a rich cultural heritage, stunning colonial architecture, and a vibrant arts scene, making it an ideal place for those seeking a culturally enriched lifestyle. The pleasant climate, with mild winters and warm summers, adds to its appeal. San Miguel de Allende also offers a relatively low cost of living compared to many Western countries, making it an attractive option for retirees and expatriates. Its welcoming community, excellent healthcare facilities, and a range of recreational activities further contribute to the quality of life in this picturesque town. Thanks, THE YARBROS!

She didn't get to explore much as when she got there she broke her ankle and needed surgery. Then Covid hit. She did rent a 2 Bedroon,2 bath house for $800mammonth. She did have to pay some utilities. She told me most were cheaper than the USA. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with cancer and after 3 years left for New Orleans.

Love the way you describe SMDA I loved the city the times I´ve been there, also Guanajuato, love that people from other countries come and enjoy and respect our culture, also sometimes learn some good things from it. Your channel is great for people that still "fear" México to not be "afraid" of us, all of us aren´t villains, the good guys, WE are more. If you haven´t been to Mazatlan, try it, vibe and people are different, not in a bad way, the "bad" thing is that it is in Sinaloa, state of pretty much most of the known narcos in the country but still, is a place that deserves to be visited and it is also cheap. Question to you as african americans, Have you experienced racism in México because of the color of your skin? I´m asking this since there is an Afro-Mexican culture donwn in the south. I´m asking this cause I love history and I´d like to know foreigner´s POV on this Love your channel. Enjoy our country :)

[@zandrarichardson5084]

@@TheYarbros I hear you… but once again it’s a mindset that is and has held us back. In my opinion it’s mental slavery the worst kind of all. We should just support each and every culture to blur the lines of separation every culture is different beautiful and complex let’s support each other individually in place of going out of the way to shed light on our differences good , bad, or indifferent. All races have experienced injustices and challenges at some point in history even gringos all be it long ago it still happened.

@@TheYarbros Hi Yabors I think your missing my point…which doesn’t surprise me because these are long ideals that have been programmed into a race of people that have created generational curses through mentality and mindset for many many years.. Let me explain, firstly there is absolutely nothing wrong with supporting one another, it’s the feeling of having to have a separate group to be supportive in order to have a soft landing versus a hard one, these are just a play on words. Words are powerful they can be empowering or enslaving. This is the program we have been indoctrinated with to feel like we need a special group ( separation) in order to accomplish something. So you are saying we need a black expat group to enable one to love themselves then their brothers..? A shared mindset is not always a good mindset..A different mindset, Reprogramming is what is needed . Unconditional love for ALL humanity is the order. Black is NOT a brand, it’s who we are and a birthright. When you Know and Stand in your power INDIVIDUALLY … then We can Move mountains and create change by ALL of the Creator’s creations collectively. 😊 We can agree to disagree there’s nothing wrong with that.

Seems very much like a city we cannot really afford. We're seeking smaller pueblas where we can live affordably. Would love to see SMA but giving a hard pass as a place to live.

We try not to over inflate anything on our channel it costs more than most other places in MX and you can definitely get more bang for your dollar in other cities. Best wishes in your hunting!

You might want to check out Guanajuato, it's not too far from SMA, but way more reasonably priced. I befriended a 15-year ex-pat there who's living in a 2 bed/1 bath apartment for $200 a month (yes USD). His place was safe, quiet and had an amazing town view, and his rent incl utilities and internet! A big bene is Guanajuato's Int'l Airport isn't far away from the center of town.

@@btjazzfann Yes, we've been there. Beautiful city and awesome history but not quite urban enough for me.

Please call them immigrants.

I find it interesting that you are collectively so into SMA. I spent six weeks in Guanajuato, back in 2009. Loved it. I had a travel motorcycle, so I could explore the region and country. The Gringification in SMA really put me off. Prices in dollars on menus, always getting the English menu when you sit down. Start a conversation in Spanish, and have it switched to English. It's like Mexico with training wheels and prices for the privilege. It's nice, but like Santa Fe, NM in Mexico. I thought GTO and QRO were far more authentic.

What is GTO?

​@Tracy Walker Guanajuato the city...

[@TheYarbros]

Cool, I didn't care for Guanajuato at all. Different strokes for different folks.

Thanks for this comment when traveling and trying to live in a place even if just for three months if it all possible, I try to be cognizant of gentrification. When the first Statt came up that one and six people that live in SMA is an Expat the first thing I thought it was “whoa I bet the locals are getting priced out”.
