“The reason we gather here is to hear the thoughts of many victims, today mainly young people, almost impossible to live, looking for housing. Not only that; we are achieving the consequences of gentrification, the government is the people whose public policy is directed to its higher purchasing power, usually those who purchase illegally, who often live in cases of 40 years old and who have been in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years old and who have lived in 50 years
The influx of American immigrants in areas such as Colonia Condesa has exacerbated the issue of gentrification and prompted calls for legal immigrants and their donations.
Wealthy foreigners, especially Americans, are increasingly working in Mexico City due to their lower cost of living compared to most American cities. This trend has triggered a rebound, as many Americans can stay in Mexico for up to 180 days without a visa, usually choosing to leave only when this six-month limit is reached.
According to Eduardo Alanis, protesters expressed concern about the rising cost of living, noting that rents have soared 47% in five years.
