I’ve been walking these streets for years now, from San Ángel to Centro Historico, Roma ect, and for all the charms of this chaotic, soulful city, one moment in early July hammered home a painful truth.
Just came back from a 2-week scouting trip in La Ciudad. Crazy timing that this happened while I (a dual citizen but raised in US) am considering setting up a second home base down there.
This happens with every great city. It's just a stage of growth that some people like and some people resist like luddites. It's peak creativity and energy, but some people romanticize the struggle.
Also in Spain!
