Mexico City residents are fed up with Americans descending on capital to escape high rents in California and gentrifying it by setting up Pilates centers and swanky coffee shops Residents of Mexico City are getting fed up with Americans moving south from California to enjoy cheap real estate while working from home.
One TikTok influencer even called it 'modern day colonialism' as Americans have brought upscale coffee shops and Pilates studios, according to the Los Angeles Times.
They even reported seeing flyers around the city saying: 'New to the city? Working remotely? You're a f***ing plague and the locals f***ing hate you. Leave.'
The number of Americans moving to the Mexican capital has raised rents in the area and a noticeable shift in language from Spanish to English.
