    Yeah, give Mexico City a try. It’s very much the same, only not so financially out of reach. You can get an okay house there for like $70,000 so you can buy a $2.5 million mansion. It’s up to you and what kind of money you have.

    I’m just coming back off of three weeks there and holy crap what a difference between America and Mexico.

    Every street corner has foot traffic. There are shops every two city blocks for a 20 mile radius. There’s a variety and art and culture, and everyone’s just taking it easy. No one’s in a big rush, even when their traffic is absolutely insane, it’s insanity that’s dealt with with a logical mind.

    Culturally, America is 100 years behind Mexico City.

      I’ve been to Mexico a few times, and I never would have described it that way to anybody. I literally saw people living in sheds when I went there.

      Mexico City has horrible air quality, is running out of water, and is literally sinking because of over-consumption tho? Not exactly where I’d want to make any long-term plans.
