Mexico’s 120 million citizens will begin to enjoy free, universal access to healthcare from next year, following a decree by socialist president Claudia Sheinbaum.
I’ve been to Mexico City. It’s absolutely huge. There are probably neighbourhoods where “nomads” are pricing out the locals, but the vast majority of the city isn’t affected. What’s driving up rents in Mexico City is that it’s Mexico City. Most of the people moving there are Mexican.
As for other tourist destinations, yes in tourist destinations there are tourists! Wow. But, there’s a lot of places in Mexico that aren’t tourist destinations, or are destinations only for Mexican tourists. There are entire cities with millions of inhabitants where you’re very unlikely to ever see an American / nomad.
My brother in christ there are right now people moving into any city with working infrastructure here in México no matter the state: Tijuana, Hermosillo, Mexicali, Monterrey, Leon, Mochis, Mexicali, etc
It’s not exclusive to México City, they will move any place where rent is ‘cheap’. They have been outpriced by the US and will look for any place where they can live.
They are not going to show up in any population stats because they don’t even bother changing their residency status and even then being less than 1% doesn’t excuse their gentrification.
Wow, I’m impressed, you actually managed to mention one city that isn’t either in the far north or on the beach. (And it’s not Mexicali, even though you mentioned it twice). It’s almost like you’ve actually visited Mexico before!
