Fuera Gringo - Gringo Go Home

Learn Spanish and Go

Gentrification has become a hot topic in Mexico City—especially in popular neighborhoods like Roma and Condesa. In this episode, we share our perspective as a bicultural couple living in Mexico and unpack the complexities behind the recent protests. We talk about housing concerns, immigration policy, local frustrations, and how foreigners can travel more responsibly while still feeling welcomed in Mexico.

Key Takeaways:

• The recent protests are more about housing inequality and lack of regulation than about foreigners themselves.
• Mexico’s lenient immigration and Airbnb policies have contributed to housing issues in tourist-heavy neighborhoods.
• Responsible tourism and cultural respect are key to creating positive change for both locals and visitors.
