    They’re in Mexico because they can’t afford to live in the states. My rental equivalent in Mexico is like 50-70% lower. I’m being paid the same as I was in 2013. My rent has almost tripled.

    They can cry all they want—I need to live too. And as we all know the people who own those places don’t care but the citizens have to think. They will smash some windows and gentrification will roll in anyway. This is because no one is willing to scream upwards

        Who is “you” in that sentence? Them? I don’t think Mexicans get deported to the US.

        Being priced out of the life you had before and finding another cheaper place to live is an experience only found in the USA. /s

        Complaining about life being unfair is something only people from the USA do. /s

        Getting pissed off about gentrification is something only found in Mexico /s

        Btw, Mexico is in America
