Has anyone been to Mexico City? How is life there? I just found out that the city is build at 2200 meters above sea level. That's insane

>A smaller city 45 km west of Mexico City is located at 2600 meters above sea level
>La Paz, in Bolivia, is built at 3600 meters above sea level.

Toluca is the highest city in the country, reaching 2,600 meters of altitude.
Parts of Mexico City like Cuajimalpa reach the altitude of 2,760 meters.

I went there in 2016 to a friend’s wedding. Lots of very beautiful people there.

On days when the horizon is clear, you can see the volcanoes, forested mountains and hills that surround the city.

Life is like that of any megacity in the world.

Which is the best city to live in Mexico? Are the richest people of the county located in Mexico City?

I wanted to visit, I saw it from space in google earth, and I noped really hard.

Was I too quick to judge?

shithole

>Which is the best city to live in Mexico?
Depends on what you are looking for, what sort of work you do and shit

>Are the richest people of the county located in Mexico City?
Yes, with some other in Monterrey and Guadalajara

>I just found out that the city is build at 2200 meters above sea level
Bogota is at 2600m
Quito is at 2800m
La paz is at 3400m

it has good parts like every city

>Which is the best city to live in Mexico?
Merida
Queretaro
Monterrey
>Are the richest people of the county located in Mexico City?
yeah but there's also rich people outside of it, mostly in moterrey, san pedro garza garcia is the richest city in the entire country

The wealthiest people in Mexico are concentrated in the three main cities of the country, Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City, and a part lives in coastal cities like Los Cabos or smaller capitals like Queretaro.

why would you build a city that high? Don't people get dizzy from the altitude? On the other side I imagine that living in La Paz for example, would increase the size of the red blood cells of the people, giving them extra stamina when they go in lower altitudes. It's like free training

That could be said just about everything.

Does Merida have a lot of rich people? I know it's the luxury car capital of Mexico despite being in the top 10 largest cities. But I wonder if maybe more people just feel safe in showing off nice cars there because Yucatan is safer than much of the country?

Because at lower altitudes tropical diseases like dengue, malaria and yellow fever were rampant, land was unsuitable for agriculture and the weather is unbearably hot.

>Don't people get dizzy from the altitude?
unless you are an outsider, you definitely don't. I'd probably wouldn't last a mile running in Bolivia for instance

>giving them extra stamina when they go in lower altitudes.
I'm not in Bogota but my town is also above 2k meters. Everytime I go to the coast I literally feel like a super human it's insane. I never get tired at sea level altitude

Cooler climate and easier crop management. Regarding Mexico city specifically it was due to an old Aztec legend. Basically according to their religion the Nahua were nomadic hundreds of years prior and were told by their gods to wander until the found an eagle eating a snake on a cactus and that they should build their city where they see that. Where they saw that was on an island in a lake up in the mountains. That city was Tenochtitlan which later became Mexico City. The eagle and snake on the Mexican flag are taken from that legend.

I work in the auto industry. Merida is a major destination for a lot of Mercedes, Jaguar-Land Rover & BMW vehicles. It's the second largest consumer of luxury cars in Mexico despite not being as big as Monterrey or Guadalajara.

>why would you build a city that high?
Because the weather at high altitude allows for human civilization when you are in the tropics.

At low altitudes you have hot weather, tropical diseases, insects, and other things you want to avoid. At high altitudes it's similar to spring or fall in places outside the tropics all year round

mexican drug laws seem based some mexican user told he buys modafinil over the counter

Many things in Mexico don't require a RX where they would in the US. Mexico has a national healthcare system which is a major bulk buyer of many drugs and drives down prices substantially though their mass purchases which can in effect dictate prices on many prescriptions. On top of that they manufacture a lot of generic cheap medicine in Mexico which tends to make base prices on drugs lower in Mexico to begin with.

Pretty much every neighborhood has a small pharmacy often with a cheap walk in clinic attached. Dr.Simi is probably the biggest one. Medicine is actually one think i'd say Mexico is better at than the US right now.

north merida is pretty much the richest part of the city, it was full of fancy malls, apartments, fancy houses,etc, there's honestly a huge difference between the north and south although never saw many luxury cars as you say
t. lived in merida for 2 years

Check the prices of "Salud digna"
They are destroying the health care business
