Sorry, it is a great video and I do understand your points however I don't agree with all of them. First I will adress the one I think does the greatest amount of harm, the statement that: one the locals sold their land in the first place so they can't complaint, and that all of the places gentrifaid by US citizens where high ti middle class residents, the fact is that in CDMX disalocation "gangs" are really common and even legal in some cases. For example a time back around 2018 there was a group of women that set camp in an abandoned house in the area the arragement was tried to make official several times but discussions stop when a developement group decided that they wanted to remodel the are for a profit. As a result a group of armed men entered the house and remove all the personal items of the residents with only one day of warning it is confirmed that police in the area where not responding to calls in the area because of this. A similar insident happened where there was one death, another where they remove a family of two teens a over age woman and a single mom. It is true that in some cases the people removed are from high erners but is equaly truth that they also remove the people that are more vulnerable. Aanother point you made is that foreign money is entering the economy and there for it good for the locals however this is one of the main complaints with gentrification in mexico as building owners not unlike the developers of the last story increase the rent on purpose so that only high end chains can operate in the area driving away people thatother wise would not have a reason to leave, in the end this results in the money not going to the community but instead to a few rich people furdeeing the BIG economic disparity. Another point that is brought up in the coments is the hate that some Mexicans habe for the US, I agree hate like this is not productive and harmfull ñ, it would be usefull if U.S citizens know the reasons for this hate as it is not a cause of the mexican american wars but instead to mainly from actions of the U.S goverment and it's companies, this does not justify this hate however in having a miningfull discussion about something like this it is important to leave that clear. (I will not write specific reasons because of time, this text is already long enough however some quick examples are Donald Trump, NAFTA[ similar as how the U.S is mad because the loss of industria jobs but with revolutionary farmers], mining companies [this is a magor one as they don't follow safety regulation], the steriotipes, etc.I was going to continue but this ones are the eassy ones to list without explations and even then I wrote some, again this is a harmfull thing they may be reasons but this do not justify hate in any form). If you are living in Mexico city there is going to be a discussion this june 2024 in each individual district, it does not matter your background so make your voice is heard. Gentrification is a difficult issue so we need to make shure we adress it correctly in a way that makes a better future for all and I think this video (although with good intensions) is harmfull to the discussion as it dismisses the genuin reasons people are unhappy with the practise. Just want to make shure that I don't have any problems with him, and that is domingo the right thing by expressing his opinión in a gente way. Further more he makes great videos a shame he stop uplouding.
Thank you! I’m not sure, I know they gave me the vest, because I didn’t have one. Maybe call them to make sure they rent kayaks/canoes before coming there.
I liked seeing this video! When I'm there-CDMX-I'm hestitant (scared?) to use the public system so I call Uber. Then I just get caught-up in a whole lot of surface congestion. You opened my eyes to an alternative. Thanks!
I would like to remind the gringo that the first country that implemented a cable car as a means of mass transportation was Colombia, in the city of Medellín, the original idea began and began here in 2004.
I wonder why you haven't released any videos for the past year? Whatever reason, I hope you're doing well and having a good time whichever amazing place you're visiting. Cheers dude.
Duh ...ppl take those smaller buses because they are more conveniente for some ppl in as far as bus stops, the other services have specific shops and on those smaller buses the driver can pretty much stop where ever you need him to stop. Simple really. Also, yes those more modern buses do have a/c, perhaps you felt hot because of the sheer number of bodies in there and because ppl take it upon themselves to crack open the windows so ofc all the heat from outside comes in. Believe me, buses in the states aren't much better. Buses and stations in cdMX are way clean in comparison as well.
Driving to Oaxaca from California for the first time in my own vehicle, BUT, not the first time driving to Mexico. Last time I drove down to Oaxaca was with my parents in 1997. My parents would take us to Oaxaca every summer since I can remember and we would drive every year. In fact, i'm in the process of digitizing a bunch of VHS videos we recorded as far back as 1986. 1997 was the year I graduated high school, and soon after that I joined the Marine Corps, and with 9/11 happening , I stopped going to Mexico for years. I think 2009 was the first time I went back as an adult, but every time I've been to Mexico since then I have flown in. The parents still drive down to Oaxaca very regularly and I'm pretty comfortable so I have no worries about the trip. I even have a couple friends that want to come along for the trip.
I found your channel just now...I love your content and you won a new follower too! ;-) fun fact NYC metro system is gross... OMG I could not believe it was in such horrible shape...with so many homeless, and people with mental illness, and full of giant rats, !!! No comparison with CDMX
Lovely video. In regards to all these nice places, It is a shame to see that there is a lot of deterioration on many of these city parks. It is urgent to recover them and provide a very dedicated and constant maintenance.
Whatever you do, do NOT take the buses with the purple icons on Google Maps. Those are peseros, not part of the Metro system, and you will be lucky if they take you where they're supposed to.
Does the GPS tell you where the toll roads are? Im driving from Tijuana to ensenada soon and i also want to know if you recommend any car rental agencies? Thank you.
It could have been a good idea but cheaply finished. You are Absolutely right. I hate those signs everywhere naming the place by the thousands. All over Mexico no matter where. They only copy the first place that did it & the whole sheep flock follows. We the citizens don´t deserve it.-
What you are trying to minimize Mexican Metro, you forgot to remember and to tell us, they don't have drogadic people in it and the big rats that we have in the US😂😂😂
See, you have a brain wash about " danger" don't you see my friend that, nobody cares about you? And yes! The government is always trying to keep all public transportation at a very low price, even for Mexicans.
You can keep back and forth and forth using all ways to transport, please 😂 stop the word danger, look around you, nobody cares about you in good faith 😊. And another thing try to never confuse that the poor is equal to danger. Enjoy Mexico happy, happy happy, Mexico and Mexicans always will welcome you 🤗.
At the border crossings into the USA, it is an common practice to split, or filter between lanes so you don't need to swelter in the unbearable heat...
I was thinking of driving to tulum mexico from cedar city Utah it would take 2 days of full driving but maybe even 3 or 4 days cause I would rest at night, maps gives me way to get there so would I have to pay to cross the border? How much is gas there compared to United States?
Not sure I understand your question completely. You pay for Cuota - highways that have fee. In some parts of the country, like in Chiapas, locals can block the road and request some small fee like 10-20 pesos for vehicle to pass.
