      Finally someone mentions this. It´s built by workers who are hired because they are from very poor areas of the country and they are NOT professionals. Lived there for 6 years... full of corruption, crime, money extortion. The entire area from Cancun down to Chetumal is run by the cartels. The local authorities are clueless and frankly not better than the drug cartels. Think twice before you consider moving there...
      And as the blonde Lady in den video says.... it´s a "cash" country. Be prepared to pay for everything double if you are a foreigner, even for your gardener, the cleaning lady or the corrupt offical who needs to stamp your visa card.

    Hello Modern Aging, I am new to your channel. I truly learned so much from your interview with David in Playa Del Carmen. Have you done any interviews with individuals late 50s who are on social security disability and on choice voicher/section8? This would be good for us folk who are blessed in this type of living. Thank you in Advance.

    I much prefer Puerto Vallarta to Playa. I think the beach is better in Playa, and maybe a bit cheaper to live, but other than 5th ave, it is a pretty boring town. The weather is far better in PV, more restaurants and entertainment, better views because not flat like Playa, and more of an expat destination rather than just a place to visit. Also PV has an airport where as to get to Playa you have to fly to Cancun

    • @yestohappiness2721

    I’m looking to one day son retire to Mexico but am concerned with all the videos i keep seeing that show displacement of the local cultures and customs when foreigners who’ve relocated bring their “beliefs/lifestyle and cultural insights”…

    • @ModernAging
      @ModernAging  2 года назад +2

      I totally understand. Most of the videos are certainly from the foreigner perspective... when foreigners do relocate in other countries it is important that we do our part to be respectful of their culture.

    • @trashcarcass
      @trashcarcass 2 года назад

      That's probably why the expats move there...? It's more comfortable, with mix of 'exotic'... Why do you want to move there? Wouldn't you be a foreigner relocating? Maybe pick a small town in the middle of the country?

    • @larabraver
      @larabraver Год назад +2

      Throughout history, people have moved around willingly and sometimes under duress. The US as a nation began when European migrants went to a Native American land and later invaded forcefully. I understand and share the concern for the locals, but it shouldn’t deter migration. Mexicans are moving to the US and other countries just as immigrants/foreigners are moving to Mexico.
      Best wishes.

      To be honest thus seems like it's becoming super pricey and overbuilt I guess the downtown Parr. That's not my price or my vibe. Looking for quiet, traditional and short walk to beach. I should probably listen to the part just before little Italy and around outside??? I am more the 400. to 700/800 $$ renting. Not buying real estate...this is a very good show, none the less
