i love how they call themselves "expats" instead of immigrants

[adrielreveles]

As a Mexican, I am not against foreigners coming to Mexico but people taking advantage of this. The saddest part is that prices have increased dramatically in Mexico City. I mean rent prices have tripled in less than 3 years, the prices of good; not to mention restaurant and hotel prices. Its making it much harder for the locals to keep up with the cost of living.

[queretanorubio]

They are immigrants not expats. They are fleeing harsh economic conditions. I like how Peter is balanced in his conversation.

I am retired in America now. I cannot afford to live in America and stay retired, but when I hear vloggers compare how low cost is, it makes me feel badly for the locals. You can afford it, but it's difficult for the locals. Stop rubbing it in about cost and be grateful Mexicans welcome us

Americans living on American wages in Mexico. Different story out of their mouth if they made Mexican wages. Truth

[Jwolfee]

He should now make a video speaking to locals of various socioeconomic backgrounds such as Mexicans that have lived in CDMX their whole life in order to get the whole picture of perspectives.

Years ago, I lived in Mexico City for two years, but my dad got transferred back to NJ. My parents had to drag me onto the plane, I didn't want to leave this amazing country. It's a great place for adventure. I did a lot of horseback camping and caving to name a few which is out of this world. My dad being a huge sightseer would get the family into the car and we would travel all over outside of the city. The best experience for me, however, were the Mexican people, so friendly, caring and super fun to adventure with... the best friends I ever had:)

Mexicans moving to the US and Americans moving to Mexico. Have to love it.

[kittymarch]

You should interview the locals and ask them how they feel about foreigners moving in Mexico city

[vegantastebetter]

“So cheap” when you earn US dollars, yes. I’ve lived in cdmx and recently moved, because as a Canadian many things in condesa/Polanco and Roma where more expensive than in my hometown in Canada. I just can’t imagine how it must feel for regular middle class Mexicans.

[isabelreyes]

Family is central to Mexican culture. Many expats won’t get to live truly authentic Mexican culture because of that. Mexico is very rich in history and has continued to evolve into a truly unique and special culture that makes the country and Mexico City so great. You can call it a vibe but it is not something you can recreate or post on Instagram it “just is”. I would love to live there and make Mexico my home

My brother moved to Puerto Vallarta during the pandemic and he loves it. The people are friendly, it's safe, and the quality of life is amazing. He got braces when he moved there for $300. It would have cost thousands of dollars in America.

[kocholawis]

Peter talk with common working class mexicans, yeah we see some expats in their bubble, and a high class mexican (even if he is nice). But that is not representative of the live experience of most mexicans. And remember "México is cheap" but not for the mexicans

[rigobertoquero]

There are no favelas, favelas are in Brasil, in Mexico, there are Barrios or colonias

[leomendoza]

Ojalá algún día los Mexicanos pudiéramos vivir tan bien en México como viven los Estadounidenses /extranjeros

[idcorelli]

My neighbours in México city were from the States, they told me that what they loved the most about Mexico was good weather and food. They are now around 75 and they enjoy now also an easy to access/cheaper health care

This episode really grinds my gears. I moved to Germany 10 years back and one thing I had to learn was forming a friendship based on being American is a big mistake. Everyone has their own path in life but most of these 'Expat' types are tools.

[shiroumxm]

as a mexican.. it makes me feel really sad to know that average mexican would work twices as hard than most of these people but it´s impossible they can afford that lifestyle

[victorsr]

Old dude here so my thoughts maybe a little outdated. I see a lot of me me me in this video, perhaps I’m missing something. A few things I learned along the way is if a person is going to move somewhere the most important thing a person needs to ask themselves is what are you are going to contribute to that society? What talent are you going to contribute? A few others are never make yourself at home, never speak negatively about the place you live and never start trying to changing things. You need to respect the culture from an outsiders point of view until you are invited to participate. It’s like being invited over for dinner and you show up empty handed, after a while you stop getting invited.
