Me gustaria Vivir en Campeche ❤
México 😎
Sus datos sobre San Luis Potosí son erróneos.Infraestructura insuficiente, oferta cultural pobre, crisis hídrica. Las rentas no bajan de $6,000MXN, los gobiernos buscan desaparecer las ciclovías y la gente es muy grosera. No lo recomiendo pecas…
Todas las ciudades costeras son infiernitos por el calor brutal y la humedad al 1000%. Huracanes. Usar el aire acondicionado sale muy caro. Piénsenlo.
El pequeño problema de San Luis y más en Durago, es el frío en invierno, de Campeche el tremendo calor en verano, eso sí, en Túxtla un poco menos por la altitud, así que me iría a Jalapa Veracrúz, y a reserva de ver como es su clima durante todo el año. 😉👍😎
Con todo el problema que representa la gentrificación lo úuuultimo que necesitamos es "publicidad" que atraiga a extranjeros a residir en nuestro país porque les resulta "más barato".Gente productiva sí. Gente que invierta , sí. Pero muchas de esas personas son nativos digitales.No aportan , no pagan impuestos , no contribuyen. En cambio , si encarecen especialmente las zonas en las que se establecen.Aunque ese no sea su objetivo , lo entiendo.Algunos de ellos incluso quieren que los mexicanos se adapten a ellos y no al revés. Y conste que dije algunos. Pero para los locales no representa un beneficio , todo lo contrario. Viajar como turista es una cosa .Establecerse en un lugar implica muchas cosas más a considerar.
No son ciudades coloniales sino virreinales ya que la Nueva España no tuvo régimen colonial.
Sólo me falta conocer Victoria de Durango y si podría vivir en Xalapa Enríquez y San Luis Potosí pero no en San Francisco de Campeche ni Tuxtla Gutiérrez que son más cálidas.
Barato Hoy, Caro Manana Esta publicidad es la rais de la gentrificación!
Me gustó Xalapa! También, Campeche; pero, lo pensaría mucho por el calor y los huracanes.
Mejor váyanse a su país y dejen a México en paz
