Sorry if this sounds too much like /c/urbanism but Mexico City has to be one of the most poorly designed cities on Earth and I fucking hate it.

It was built upon the ruins of Tenochtitlan, which was built in the middle of a lake. Mexico City was created when that indigenous city was raised to the ground by white colonizers and they proceeded to essentially drain the lake to build a car centric city in and around the ruins of what once was a city comparable to Venice.

Like I guess I’m glad that homeless people are doing marginally better there than in the USA but that entire city shouldn’t exist. It’s not a population or resource issue, it’s an issue of, the city is built on top of a lake that should really be brought back. I’m not advocating tearing down all the city but a good part of it should be leveled so that nature can return.

Save the axolotl!

Mexico City is at a very high altitude so it has pretty mild weather despite being in the tropics.

I’m sure he’d be cool earning 1/3 of what he earned in the US then.

It’s low hanging fruit but the depiction of Mexico I saw in clips of the new Call of Duty is just the neocon tulpa version of Mexico in HD. It’s insane how determined people are to learn nothing about Mexico. Mexicans are anecdotally the sweetest and funniest people on this continent.

I love the Mexican community in my area. I worked a job with a Mexican partner and we would take turns lying to the boss about the other one being in the toilet so we could go grab tacos from a local truck and have a shared lunch.
