Because of the high property values in California, these people often move into the nicest neighborhoods in their new city or town of choice. And because there are so many of these transplants they often drive up the local property values. That\u2019s not always appreciated by the locals.<\/p>\n<p>Today the <em>LA Times<\/em> reports there\u2019s a similar problem in Mexico City where Americans, many of them from California, are fleeing not just their state but their country in order to take advantage of the much lower property values <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/world-nation\/story\/2022-07-27\/americans-are-flooding-mexico-city-some-mexicans-want-them-to-go-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in Mexico City<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The influx, which has accelerated since the onset of the\u00a0COVID-19 pandemic\u00a0and is likely to continue as inflation rises, is transforming some of the city\u2019s most treasured neighborhoods into<br \/>expat enclaves.<\/p>\n<p>In leafy, walkable quarters such as Roma, Condesa, Centro and Juarez, rents are soaring as Americans and other foreigners snap up houses and landlords trade long-term renters for travelers willing to pay more on Airbnb. Taquerias, corner stores and\u00a0<i>fondas\u00a0<\/i>\u2014 small, family-run lunch spots \u2014 are being replaced by Pilates studios, co-working spaces and sleek cafes advertising oat-milk<br \/>lattes and avocado toast.<\/p>\n<p>And English \u2014 well, it\u2019s everywhere: ringing out at supermarkets, natural wine bars and fitness classes in the park.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The reasons for the influx are mostly financial. The article notes that while $2,000 a rent won\u2019t get you much in Los Angeles or San Francisco, that\u2019s enough to rent a penthouse apartment in Mexico City. But at least some of the locals are sick of the Americans who are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/world-nation\/story\/2022-07-27\/americans-are-flooding-mexico-city-some-mexicans-want-them-to-go-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gentrifying the city<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Recently, expletive-laced posters appeared around town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew to the city? Working remotely?\u201d they read in English. \u201cYou\u2019re a f\u2014ing plague and the locals f\u2014ing hate you. Leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That sentiment echoed the hundreds of responses that poured in after a young American posted this seemingly innocuous tweet: \u201cDo yourself a favor and remote work in Mexico City \u2014 it is truly magical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease don\u2019t,\u201d read one of the kinder replies. \u201cThis city is becoming more and more expensive every day in part because of people like you, and you don\u2019t even realize or care about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A 38-year-old university professor labeled the trend \u201cmodern colonialism.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cMexico is classist and racist,\u201d Bustos said. \u201cPeople with white skin are given preference. Now, if a local wants to go to a restaurant or a club, they don\u2019t just have to compete with rich, white Mexicans but with foreigners too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Anyway, the story says that most locals are extremely polite to the Americans who are moving in to their luxury apartments. But I guess it\u2019s not just people in <a href=\"https:\/\/hotair.com\/john-s-2\/2019\/11\/11\/boise-idaho-locals-wish-californians-go-home-n305400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boise, ID<\/a> and Austin, TX who get fed up with Californians showing up with a lot of cash and no respect for the local customs.
