"There are a lot of foreigners, namely Americans, coming to live here. Many say it’s xenophobia, but it’s not," said Castro.

She added, "It’s just that so many foreigners come here [and] rents are skyrocketing because of Airbnb. Rents are so high that some people can’t even pay anymore."


As overtourism continues to be a liability for many vacation destinations and cities, a number of locals have been making their feelings known about unwanted visitors to their home areas.

Residents in Mexico City protested against mass tourism over the weekend, with hundreds of people taking to the streets, The Associated Press (AP) reported.

Protesters marched in neighborhoods that are popular with tourists, as well as near the U.S. Embassy and inside metro stations in a stand against gentrification of the popular destination.

"Get out of Mexico,"
"Gringos, stop stealing our home,"
"Pay taxes"
" learn Spanish, respect my culture."

Fox News outrage. I am impressed. /s

 

[daeler]

I would be interested in seeing what the protesters are actually against, because all the news I have seen seems to be going against tourists buying vacation property and causing lots of problems buying up all the property and increasing the costs for people actually living there.

 

[Slartibartfast]

This issue seems to be more about gentrification more than whether one is a citizen or not.

If any one of those Mexican protesters are upset that the US is deporting illegal aliens...**** those hypocrites.

I'll leave that to be decided by Mexicans.

Why should Mexico city be any different from any big city complaining about AirBNB prices compared to rental prices in that city?

Mexico wants Gringos out of their city.
Mexicans in L.A. want ICE out of their city.
Mexicans love waving their flags and burning American flags in L.A. to show their displeasure about being in this country. Why did they come here in the first place?
Sounds like Mexicans aren't satisfied with anything having to do with foreigners entering their neighborhoods. Isn't that a form of racial discrimination?

I love Mexico. Mexicans in Mexico City are tired of the tourist impact. Can't blame them. Even Americans are tired of drunk American frat boys. When summer is over we will go down to maybe Puerto Vallarta or San Felipe.

You don't see more than a few ugly Americans when you travel? In some popular Mexican cities they are tired of dumbass anglos lording it up and disrespecting Mexican culture and Mexican people.

I'll leave that to be decided by Mexicans.

but you have YOUR opinion on whether a country should have rules/laws etc on the impacts of non-citizens right ??

Mexico's president calls march against mass tourism 'xenophobic'

A fierce protest in Mexico City railing against gentrification and mass tourism was fueled by long-running government failures and active promotion to attract digital nomads, according to experts

'Gringo go home.' Mexico City protests target Americans, gentrification

Holding signs saying 'gringo go home' and 'no tourists,' Mexico City residents took to the streets to complain about what they say is the gentrification of their city.

Hundreds protest gentrification in Mexico City's Condesa and Roma neighborhoods

Hundreds of people protested in Mexico City on Friday against the gentrification of neighborhoods where many foreign residents live and many foreign tourists stay, such as Condesa and Roma.

“We’re sick of foreigners coming with their euros and their dollars, wanting to buy our homeland,” said one rally speaker.

That's why we went to Germany and Poland a couple of months ago.
The people there were friendly, courteous, and still love Reagan especially in Poland. They have great memories of being freed from Nazi and Soviet oppression.
Who wants to travel to Mexico anyway? Tourists down their get killed or held for ransom. If I want that, I'll go to South Chicago and disrespect the local local gangbangers there.

you would be against disrespecting culture and people right ?

I'm guessing you're saying that if you go to Mexico City and live there, you need to learn to speak the language, read the language, you wouldn't expect Mexicans and/or Mexico City to cater to you right? Like if you have kids ... .you'd not expect Mexican schools to hire English speaking teachers specifically for your kid right?

 

[ElChupacabra]

This. Ever since the pandemic there's been people who took to leading "digital nomad" lives, where they can earn a living moving around different countries. This demand has driven up the increase of private properties turned into temporary housing, making housing for locals scarcer and much more expensive. Many of these workers are freelances and employed by US companies, so they're earning a salary well above what would be paid locally, and that helps create even more disparity. We're seeing pushback to this in European cities as well.

For one thing, they want people to learn Spanish, you know by holding up signs in English.

It's xenophobia.

She added, "It’s just that so many foreigners come here [and] rents are skyrocketing because of Airbnb. Rents are so high that some people can’t even pay anymore."

Then build more housing.

As overtourism continues to be a liability for many vacation destinations and cities, a number of locals have been making their feelings known about unwanted visitors to their home areas.

CDMX, or any other big city, is not "overtouristed." They simply haven't built enough housing. The only places that might genuinely be overtouristed are pristine nature areas where too many people can negatively impact the environment. CDMX, in contrast, is one of the biggest cities in the world.

They are dumb and they should feel bad about themselves.

"Get out of Mexico,"
"Gringos, stop stealing our home,"

If anyone said that to me I'd tell them to **** off.

"Pay taxes"
" learn Spanish, respect my culture."

These are more reasonable asks. On these last two, fair enough.

Citizens in Spain are protesting over the same issue.

 

[Gatsby]

Mexican's are right - non-citizens negatively impacting Mexico City need to leave​

• yes - non-citizens they need to leave if its negatively impacting Mexicans
• no - non-citizens have a Right to stay even though its negatively impacting Mexicans

None of the above. The correct answer is:
They are wrong and being morons, and it's not negatively impacting Mexicans. But also non-citizens don't inherently have a "right" to stay. It is within the power of the democratic state to be xenophobic idiots if that's what the people want.

 

[phoenix2020]

Agreed. We just saw similar angst in Venice, with the Bezos wedding being the mere trigger for a larger issue.

Germany and Poland are nice. I have to say we avoid talking about politics or WWI and WWII. I really enjoy museums and historical places but honestly when we travel outside the U.S. we don't want to be around other Americans.

Mexico is Mexico and if you give it a chance it can be magic. Mexicans are proud, kind, patient and generous people. Even in big Puerto Vallarta it's grand as long as you stay away from loud, drunk, Americans acting all entitled.

 

[ElChupacabra]

Portugal as well. Lisbon in particular has had its fill of this.

 

[Isidore]

... you need to learn to speak the language, read the language...

Perhaps even learn to write the language?
