Why Americans Are Relocating To Mexico City For A Better Life

[@killersanabria]

If you come and stay in Mexico City, remember 3 things: 1) You are not a tourist, expat or a "digital nomad", you are an inmigrant: You HAVE to adapt to our country and ways of life 2) Employees in shops, restaurants, etc are NOT BENEATH YOU, here in Mexico we treat people as we wish to be treated 3) Respeta nuestra cultura, esfuerzate en aprender el idioma y nuestra historia

[@rangel200x]

[@oldmanmillennial1980]

​@rangel200x bruh you're not getting it. I'm writing in English so that others will. The problem is North Americans and Europeans are moving to Mexico with their digital nomad jobs. That means they are driving up rents with their demand, inflating the price of goods with their stronger currency, all while using the local services and infrastructure without paying local income taxes. Nobody is saying you as a Mexican national and/or resident should pay more taxes.

Keep in mind, many locals hold a big grudge against americans who are moving to Mexico City. While americans see it as an affordable way of living or a "fun" adventure in their lives, for a lot of locals means a ridiculous increase in rent and having to move out from the place they have called home for many years. So yeah, it's easy to understand the escalating local anger toward remote workers living in Mexico since they are pretty much gentrifying people out of their homes.

​@@ClerValencia There is no difference in reality besides the ''expats'' working remotely and living in mx, but normally those calls expats are just americans coming to our country illegaly and causing the living being more expensive and almost unnafordable anymore to locals. The difference is the attitude of americans not saying they are immigrants bc they have the relationship between immigration as something bad aka as the usa makes it seem when it comes to Latin Americans going illegaly to the USA to search opportunity of living and escaping violence. They want to differenciate themselves between the immigrants they know and them because they feel its not the same. So, as a mexican its nice to hear her saying she is an immigrant bc we must stop this negative association.

Agreed; it shows a disturbing lack of awareness. Black Mexicans definitely don't feel safe in Mexico. They are conflating the privilege of their nationality and native currency with an absence of social tension (class, race, etc.). However, US immigrants moving to Mexico City is the not the cause of the displacement of Mexicans from the city. It's a lack of protection from the government and greed from landlords. Decent, affordable housing is a right that landlords should not be able to neglect. In addition, Airbnb and UNESCO subverted the Mexican government to encourage a housing shortage in one of the most expensive, tense markets in Mexico. That should be illegal

I don't understand Americans. After 21+ years of living in the USA and constantly experiencing discrimination as a Latin immigrant, and hearing Latin America being described as a hellhole, now seeing Americans call Mexico the American dream while inflating prices for everything over there leaves me dumbfounded, it's adding insult to injury. Edit: It's amazing how much hate I get in the comments when I'm simply pointing out hate. Mentally healthy individuals would say, "Sorry to hear that. I'm not like this. I hope you find better people," or something similar. Instead, many people decide to double down on the hate. I have a solution. I propose that Mexico passes a law requiring Americans in Mexico to: 1. Hang out only with other Mexicans (perhaps allowing one single American friend while in Mexico). 2. Get taxed on their American wages so that what remains after tax is equivalent to what a Mexican would earn in Mexico for the same job. For instance, if you are a software engineer making 100k in the USA, and the same job in Mexico pays 30k, then you pay the Mexican government 70k. If you truly love Mexico as much as you claim, you should have no problem abiding by these rules. Otherwise, you'll receive a letter in the mail saying, "If you don't like it here, then go back to your country." Before anyone tries to attack me on it, I have hung out with Americans 99% of the time since I got here, especially in the beginning when I wanted to assimilate.

Imagina a una pareja joven o de adultos mayores tratando de rentar un departamento en la Condesa, será a un precio más alto de la oferta y demanda "normal".

Sin embargo, si quieres venir y experimentar lo que es ser Mexicano, hazlo de la manera correcta y empieza por aprender el idioma y adaptarte a la cultura con respeto.

Its important to note that the crime rate cited for Mexico in the video piece were national averages, and were not for Mexico City specifically. Although it has its issues, Mexico City actually has lower crime rates than many major U.S. cities such as Chicago, Miami, Washington DC, etc. The populace as in any major city, is also much more knowledgeable about global trends. And in many cases leading them.

[@DavidGarcia-ly6hi]

That’s because majority of crimes go unreported due to corruption

[@danmur2797]

@DavidGarcia-ly6hi I've lived in Mexico on and off for years. And visited cities where I felt very safe and cities where I didn't feel as safe. I don't understand people that believe certain regions of Mexico have high crime rates as reported, but don't believe that other regions have much lower crime rates as reported. Why? As I've said, I lived in areas of Mexico with low crime rates reported, and never felt unsafe. I would even walk in rural towns at 2am and never felt unsafe. Merida is another city with reported low crime rates. Mexico City is the largest city in North America, and has big city issues and crime--but that's just it, petty average. Nothing exceptional. If you visit U.S. cities from Memphis to Birmingham to Baltimore or Philadelphia you will see there are cities in the developed world that have equal or larger issues with crime.

[@MiciousDawn]

So they said homicide rates, not crime. Crime would include more in addition to homicide rates. Unfortunately, of the top 10 cities with the highest rates of homicide, 9 of them are cities in Mexico, and one was in the US (New Orleans) rated number 8. Number 1 is Colima, Mexico. Mexico can be a dangerous place, and it's just the reality. However, that doesn't have to be the one way to measure a country's worth. Feeling more safe in Mexico over the US, even if it might not actually be more safe, has value in itself. You can have a country that is imperfect that still has beauty, joy, life, love, and value.

[@danmur2797]

12:16 “The US is a hard place to live!” That really hit a nerve… we have so many social, racial and now economic problems in the US… I feel like in the US we want to put a label on everyone and you have it easier if you’re the white, all-American family who goes to church every Sunday, but if you live your life outside of that, it’s so much harder, but even now with all the socioeconomic problems we’re experiencing in America, it’s hard even for the white, all-American families to make ends meet.

You got the "strength of the dollar against the MX peso" idea totally wrong. The MXN has gained A LOT (like 30%) of value against the USD since the pandemic. It's not about the currency, it's just about net income, which is still much higher in the US. You also have the issue of safety wrong: Your statistics are for the entire countries, but actually Mexico City is much safer than any large US city now a days.

The tradeoffs between Mex and the US i think are infrastructure or community.

Espero que se implementen leyes que ayuden a lidiar con los problemas de la gentrificación, y que los inmigrantes colaboren de manera activa con impuestos, como todos nosotros. Cómo consejo, intenten por lo menos comunicarse en español y no exigir, y creanme, conoceran lo solidarios, amables y respetuosos que somos los mexicanos. Tendrán siempre las puertas abiertas.

[@MATTHEWSCHUBRING]

The people in this report all have interesting stories to tell, and I realize that on an individual level things can vary greatly. I belong to a very different generation of immigrants to Mexico City (I despise the word "expats") who originally moved here from the U.S. as well as from other countries, and who've remained here not for a couple of years, but for several decades. In my case, 45 years. There's certainly a "honeymoon" period in which you're exposed to so many new things and every little difference seems like a wonderful discovery. Then of course, a routine sets in and you realize that no one place on this planet is either Heaven OR Hell. My income is entirely in pesos and that's been the case since 1978, when I first arrived. So converting things into U.S. dollars is a useless endeavor for me, unless I'm traveling to the U.S. for vacation or visiting family and old friends. Many years ago I came to realize that I would live the rest of my life in Mexico, as much out of practical reasons as for the emotional attachment that I came to feel for the place. I think that if more people in the U.S. had the opportunity to live AS FOREIGNERS in a different country (with all the adaptation which that implies), their world view would change greatly, and they would stop being so condescending and/or judgemental when regarding other cultures; i.e., they'd come to learn that the United States is not the Alpha and Omega of all existence. They'd also learn that living beyond one's means can have horrible consequences and that there's a lot to be said for leading a more pared-down kind of life.

Y ¿por qué el mexicano o en general el latinoamericano lo tiene tan difícil de migrar a otros países pero ellos no? lo tienen regalado. También me toca ver como quieren que aprendamos ingles para ellos estar cómodos cuando ellos son los que viene a invadir. Por otra parte creo que los ciudadanos deberíamos exigirle a nuestro gobierno que resuelva esta situación, en lugar de endiosarlos y siempre decir que México recibe a todos cuando no debería ser así. México nunca pareció del pueblo mexicano. Yo aunque suene mal preferiría que no vengan ni se queden. No deberían poder comprar mas de una propiedad y tampoco privatizar NADA.

The American Dream has, in many ways, fallen short for its citizens, and the growing trend of Americans relocating to Mexico highlights this issue. Rather than seeking greener pastures abroad, Americans should advocate for improved conditions within the United States. Gentrifying another country should not be the solution. It's a concerning development to witness Americans living as immigrants in Mexico, and media attempts to portray it as a romanticized success story, depicting the affordability of life in the USA, are misleading.
