Mexico City Residents Protest Against Gentrification | U.S. Migrant Influx & Soaring Rents | N18G

On July 4, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Mexico City to protest against growing gentrification, especially in neighborhoods like Colonia Condesa. Protesters highlighted the rising cost of living, including a 47% surge in rents over the past five years, which has led to the displacement of long-term residents. A major concern is the influx of affluent U.S. migrants, many of whom work remotely and are drawn by Mexico City’s comparatively low cost of living. These foreigners can stay for up to 180 days without a visa, often rotating their stays to avoid legal restrictions. Protesters called for more regulated migration and for foreign residents to contribute more meaningfully to the local economy. According to activist Eduardo Alanis, government policies tend to favor wealthier newcomers over local communities. The protest reflects growing backlash against policies and economic shifts that prioritize foreign investment and lifestyles over the stability and needs of local populations.
