  • In 2021, over 360,000 people left California in what many are calling The California Exodus. But a rising number of them are migrating out of the country all together and instead, heading south to Mexico to escape rising housing prices, traffic and expensive healthcare.

      Basically moving to Mexico is like being an investor if u have a place in the states but then get another in Mexico that u are just another investor causing housing to go up in areas but u are living in Mexico and not just buying up place to re rent anytime. so i can see why Mexicans be mad any by chance. i guessing they wanna get a place that is new but if we go and take up all the new places then residents who actually lived there a long time are priced out cause foreigners are taking places that residents try to get but cant for any reason. so now Americans are turning into investors by keeping 2 places for any reason. so overall no shock.

      This wouldn't be a problem if American cities would fix their zoning laws to get rid of the R1 zoning, banning anything but low density, single family, detached houses. The majority of land in America's cities is zoned for that, banning everything else. This creates shortages of housing all over America.
      There needs to be re zoning allowing for land to be used for medium density housing like duplexes, townhouses, and even apartment buildings; along with mixed use to better meet the needs of people. California's major metro areas are well past the point where it is worth the money to tear down R1 housing and replace it with better uses of the land. This would relieve the shortages for all uses.
      America's major cities also need to get rid of their rampant car dependency, which only leads to congestion. This is done by providing other options, giving Americans freedom of choice in how they move from place to place and liberating them from the de facto requirement to own cars.

Rules and regulations are completely different in both countries, not to mention the cartels who take over your business. In Mexico you can't be an immigrant and ask for a loan from the bank, you have to be a citizen to even purchase any property. You don't see children in the US who live in poverty risking their lives on the streets blowing fire out of their mouths just to make a few pennies like Mexican children do.

We dayhiked a peak and when we got back down to our cars to head home after a great day in the mountains, we were surrounded by two dozen rifle bearing members of the Mexican Army. Everyone said we were lucky it wasn’t the Federalis. They took what was not theirs anyway. Éramos alpinistas.

    As a Mexican that used to live in Mexico City, I can agree that foreigners living in Mexico are raising rent and property prices overall. My wife and I rented a small loft in a "share living" building. Our rent was around 475 USD a month, with internet, water, electricity and gas included. It may seem quite cheap for someone earning in USD, however, to put things into perspective, rent was equivalent to over a third of our household income. Even though we considered ourselves lucky to have found that loft, it still made daily living with other expenses quite difficult. This is because the city, or at least the good, interesting and touristy parts, are built for foreigners, not locals. This makes life difficult to enjoy for the average Mexican that maybe earns around 350 USD a month.

    Honestly it's happening everywhere. Where I live, 1 bedroom apartments are approaching the $2100 a month mark, and there's no signs of it slowing down at all. And then people come from places like California, where they're used to the higher cost of living, and they'll buy houses with cash without even having seen the property yet here. I literally can't buy a house because all I have is a loan, and every time I make an offer, someone just offers up literally 5x the amount in straight up cash and I get tossed to the side for obvious reasons.

      I read the avg profit on a Ca home sale is 800k so yeah they have enough to buy a couple of houses all cash in most places of the country. I also was losing out with all cash bidding 30 to 50k over asking price and then started looking at houses that others didn't want. I finally got a house that sat for 2 weeks that was nasty for 30k less than asking price. Take what the market gives you. I'll have equity when I am done instead of over paying trying to outbid someone else. Or wait for a correction. It's a cycle and always has been. What's different now though is hedge funds are buying properties too so you might not see as much of a price decline but you might have a better selection.

    Well this seems pretty problematic…
    I can see the Mexican and local governments allowing this for economic reasons (even if they don’t pay taxes, they spend money on Mexican businesses, which generates substantial tax revenue by itself on top of direct foreign investment of sorts), but this definitely won’t continue forever, especially once local politics catches up and Mexican voters start getting outraged. These people are basically recreating the very problems that led them to flee California, but in Mexico. They are now the rich pricing the average people out of their homes. Except in this case, the wealthy aren’t even citizens and likely aren’t interested in becoming naturalized due to their home country’s labor laws. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out over the next 15 years’ time.

    Luckily, the city passed a law that requires 33 percent of new development projects to be for lower income budgets, even in such nice neighborhoods.

On a greater scale, I can see how California would squander that money to make little room for any displaced individuals while raking in the majority of that $88 billion. You're right!

After graduating community college in the LA area I decided to move to the Tijuana/San Diego area to finish my Bachelors in International Relations. Even though I am living in my country (since I hold Mexican citizenship), I acknowledge that I am also contributing to gentrification. What do I do to really support the local community? I buy in convenience stores, small businesses, rising restaurants that are NOT located in wealthy neighborhoods.

    I came very close to being raised in Mexico. My dad was one of the best supervisors at his plant, and his company had another one opening in Mexico City and offered my dad the opportunity to transfer. He really wanted to do it but my mom refused. I have always been drawn to visiting there. My mom had a lot of Mexican friends around in my childhood, too.

    I moved to Asia instead which is usually, ranked as one of the highest cost of living regions. Despite, that it's still half less than what I would spend in the states, and healthcare is far cheaper and ambulance rides are free. I'll take my cheaper healthcare and paid holidays. The bigger problem that isn't discussed is America is the only country, outside Eritrea that tax American citizens regardless of where they live.

    I am a dual citizen who moved to mexico in 2020 and lived there for over a year. Now i just moved back to CA, trust me there are massive trade offs, as much as I loved Mexico being back in CA feels good. There are a lot of things that are a hot mess down there too, moving because you think the grass is greener on the other side and it will fix any problems is the wrong approach. Moving because you retired or are going to pay cash for your house down there is much better, for me i discovered it wasnt all I hoped for, now I am buying a small ranch in California and will try to live peacefully and enjoy traveling to the state parks across the US, another thing you cant do in Mexico without worrying about the cartels unfortunately. Everyones experience will be diferent so best of luck to anyone about to take on the endeavor!
