Looks fine to me. Its not fancy but its not shit. USA has trailer parks looking shitter than this

Aztecs were great, mexicans are not

They weren't and Tenochtitlan was just a bunch of exaggerated mudhuts

WE WUZ

yeah and we also have nice places

pic related is the typical house in mexico

only like 10 percent of the country makes more than 50 dollars a day

is this supposed to be nice or shitty? i cant tell

on one hand it looks nicer than the pic OP posted, on the other hand theres grafitti and shit everywhere

You gotta love how Americans are always talking out of their ass, it's almost as if you are always leaking shit or something.

Shit everywhere? All that sharting is affecting your eyesight
Its a fucking developing country 3rd world or any of that, we dont have those wooden mansions you have, this is our traditional way of living, in this """""shitty"""" looking to you stone houses, the world doesnt need to look american

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_Mexico
>1/3 of the country lives under 5 dollars a day
holy fuck it's way worse than i thought, you're right i was talking out of my ass

i didn't say everything needed to look american,
i like a lot of foreign architecture better than ours

i actually really like the pic you just posted, but be honest, that's nicer than 95% of mexicans can afford and you wouldnt find something like that in yucutan

because whites take advantage of natives who are fucking retarded and cant even read
you cant imagine the amount of corruption in those states

This , the more native states are the most populous, and its not even that we dont want to change them
They like their ways, and they are not going out of poverty because they dont fucking want to
Already lack of oportunities keep them down and when they take the chance to move THEY FUCKING CREATE SLUMS AROUND THE CITY or realise they have no fucking skills and end up begging in other states

>"(About Montezuma) He possessed out of the city as well as within, numerous villas, each of which had its peculiar sources of amusement, and all were constructed in the best possible manner for the use of a great prince and lord. Within the city his palaces were so wonderful that it is hardly possible to describe their beauty and extent ; I can only say that in Spain there is nothing equal to them."

>2010 stats
>less than 2% of Mexico's population lives below the international poverty line set by the World Bank
>life is cheaper in Mexico than in the US

Look man, this fucking country has a lot of fucking poverty, but those are average houses in Guanajuato.

If you want to pretend that this houses are average go on, those are where the bottom 10% of the people live. Which is still pretty fucking bad, but really, amerishart, you are really full of shit. When was the last time you went shopping?

They killed all the Aztecs and the Spanish bred with their enemies

yup, sadly that's going on in Querétaro right now

Shame lad, Queretaro is one of my favourite cities to visit, don´t let it go on
t.chilango here

I like it, I think it looks pretty nice :^) At least better than the town where I live

>them
as if your part of the country is any better than the south
at least the south is peaceful
>international poverty line
so what?
9/10 mexicans make less than the american minimum wage. OP pic is right in the middle, not bottom 10 dont lie.

>life is cheaper in mexico
Of course your money goes further but not proportionately and not across the board.
It's not as though a $20/day wage provides a similar lifestyle to what $100/day would give you in the US.
Here are some examples:
Most people earning this standard "unskilled labor" wage do not have windows or even mosquito nets in their house.
A 20 kilo tank of propane for cooking costs about $20 right now. Imagine paying an entire day's wage for 1 tank of propane?
Restaurants are pretty cheap here - you can get a pretty good sit-down meal for $4 and an order of tacos is about $2 - but people on $20/day are rarely eating out, even at these prices.
General groceries cost roughly the same here...sure, maybe 25-30% less, but a 30% discount when your salary is 80% less still leaves you with not enough money for food.
$20/day buys you rice, beans, tortillas, etc. but you're still poor for sure....poor enough that it's a big deal if someone in the family needs to go to the doctor and that it's a REALLY big deal if your refrigerator dies.

>9/10 mexicans make less than the american minimum wage
No fucking shit.

>OP pic is right in the middle
>let me tell you about your country

t. central Mexico
Come at me some other day
>that it's a big deal if someone in the family needs to go to the doctor
Sorry friend, our health care is free

more pics like this pls

aztec and mayan civilization is not comparable to modern day Mexico

also

>aztecs
>good

kek

This pic is already considered low class here. Not only low class, but this is a fucking slum, and it looks nicer than OPs pic, so don't go telling me that OPs pic is in the middle.

...

Because the Spaniards created a caste system with indigenous people on the bottom that devalued their language, culture, history, and identity. This system remains in place today. The only solution is independence and freedom for indigenous people.

are you from mexico city? whats it like? what are people there like?

Whites are basically the same as Jews over there.

I don't see any houses here. This is a parking lot

Yes
Depends on the area and time of day
But its nice, I do hate the noise and traffic, people are friendly but we are also very stress ed because 20 million living here, but you will never be bored here, there´s so much shit to do been here all my life and there still a lot I havent done
But also not going to lie, pollution is an issue

are you being stupid on purpose?

Those are small apartments for low working class people (60m2). Again, this are considered slums here.

Average American house for comparison

What kind of music do people like? Is gaming very popular there? Any good local television?

That is no way a slum. It was clearly planned and built by construction workers. There's even power lines here. This could easily be some motel in Nevada somewhere

>amerishart posting

The Aztecs lived in central Mexico and Tenochtitlan (Mexico City) is the highest HDI in the whole country (Netherlands tier) so I'd say there isn't much of a question there about them being "great". The Maya in the South are a more complicated situation, they were far from their peak at the time of conquest as their civilization had encountered a catastrophe (which is largelly believed to have been ecological given their population density at its prime) and many had fallen to a state not unlike that of jungle tribes elsewhere, although some of them were vassals of the Aztec and there's evidence they may have been valued for their ancient knowledge as well as being important in connecting with trade routes that reached South America, important not just becauise of the rare curiosities (I believe emeralds from Colombia have been found in Mexico) but because of the knowledge that was also transported, the knowledge of how to work copper seems to have reached Western mexico from a source in South America.

So there wasn't the infrastructure of roads and irrigation that there was in central Mexico and the Maya were hostile, they were never completely conquered by the Spaniards and even raised against Mexicans folowing independence en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste_War_of_Yucatán
Add to that their land is a combination of very arid regions in the Yucatán peninsula and deep jungle, the kind that killed Europeans in numbers from disease and filled with poisonous animals. So development went much slower there, the area that is today Central America was so isolated that a certain degree of autonomy was granted to them through the Capitanía General de Guatemala. Although dependant on the real Audiencia de México this autonomy was largely the reason almost all of Central America, except for Chiapas, separated from Mexico. So even up until well into the 20th century a lot of the problems in the region that remained, which is also mountainous, involved CONT

>Music
Right now theres a "Youth Week" going on and theres the classic latin american rock thing
>Gaming
Well you always have the weeabo places and tech plaza if you like that stuff, I go there often
>Local TV
Cringe worthy at best, but you should get all your american channels with some paid services

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_slums#Mexico

> Contrary to many slums in India, Brazil, Indonesia, Venezuela or Sub-Saharan Africa, these slums are urbanized and most inhabitants have access to basic amenities, however, the quality of basic amenities are debatable as the vast majority of people live under the poverty line, high crime rate, and in steep hills and grey block housing.

You tell them, not me.

holy shit you have balls

i would be afraid to step foot in mexico city, let alone live there

do you fear the cartels?

...

Mexico City is quite safe for its size and population. Dangerous cities are in Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, Chihuahua, Guerrero and Michoacán.

Write your post again with
>holy shit you have balls
>i would be afraid to step foot in mexico city, let alone live there
>do you fear the DRIVERS?
And then maybe you have a meme point

hdi has nothing to do with safety

mexico city is not fucking safe lol

to be fair i would also be afraid to step foot in los angeles

Do people prefer local shows or american? I assume everyone watches American films. Do you get a lot of expats from foreign cunts (not counting chicanos)?

There's no cartels in Mexico city sharter

Cartels are not killing people in Mexico City.

Mexico City's homicide rate is lower than many American cities including our own capital.

Those are just shitty apartments. Slums have kids starving on the street

why are mexiheads so poo in the loo

American shows are a large thing but also local TV
I dont like it but many people do
Expats I don´t know but I had a jove with several chicanos that were deported, reason I quit

CONT building roads and infrastructure. Most of the area has traditionally been inhabited by subsistence farmers although the peninsula, the Riviera Maya, has seen a lot of development given terrain that is not as difficult and its potential for tourism. really there's only 4 states that are the main focus of current efforts, Chiapas, Tabasco, Oaxaca (itself a country on it's own, with several regions and it's own civilization) and Guerrero, technically in central Mexico but a tropical, selvatic state. These states have large concentrations of Amerindians still leading traditional lives and have also been the focus of social unrest (teacher's unions, cartel violence in Guerrero, the EZLN uprising in Chiapas, etc.) while this isn't to say the rest of the country is dandy, these areas are where real conflict exists in between Native Americans trying to gain autonomy, difficulty in providing public services, a lot of local vested interests, etc.

In all fairness they fare a lot better than people in central America under similar conditions. Not that it is an excuse, but it's a difficult situation.

Shitty apartments that are considered to be slums. I don't know why, but they are. Neza and Iztapalapa are the biggest slums in Mexico and 70% of the people there live in those, with the occasional house here and there.

t.sharter

the Gulf Cartel, the Zetas, the Familia Michoacana and the Beltran Leyva Organization (BLO) are all present in the Federal District
wtf, who cares? i would never set foot in dc either, that place is fucking scary, as are a lot of cities in this country. most the inner cities are majority black, of course it's worse the mexico, that doesn't mean mexico isnt scary as well

They are also present in the US, Europe and Asia. Do they behead people there?

The city is so fucking big you will never find a "cartel" in there

Slums brazil tier are in Edo Mex, Iztapalapa isnt that bad, had school there CECyT 7 and I was never robbed or something, even went with friends to the public dinners had a great time

Do you have any real non-apartment slums with people building their own houses and not the government?

Yes, a lot. Ecatepec, for example.

>He's afraid of black people
Pathetic. Kill yourself

most of the people in tbose pics are mexishits

and unlike being a meme, 13 million mexishits drink feces ridden water

>In Mexico there are 13 million people who, like in Iztapalapa, have access to running water but it is contaminated by either fecal matter and heavy metals.

Priests have to bless your dirty water and dumb mexishits think it cleanses it

Kek nice try mart sharter

If you expect houses like pic related
No lad, even our poor people have that and he is telling the truth it really doesnt get worst than ecatepec besides, most poor people are builders anyway easy to build

>NYC
that city smells like piss and ashtrays and nobody in their right mind would pay like 2000 dollars in rent for an apartment the size of my room.

Literally nothing

>nigger city of 100,000

Has far superior water quality than all of mexico and is perfectly safe to drink

Is that from Chile? It was kind of surprising to me that the poverty in Chile is actually quite a bit worse than Mexico. What with the HDI differences and all.

Are you telling me this is a slum house? Your picture is basically a bunch of these going up a hill. I'd kill to live there.

>hudson river

Your documentary has nothing to do with tap water quality in NYC which is perfectly safe to drink because we have multiple treatment facilities for it.

>s-stop being mad

My mexihead friend I think you are the one who is shit stained at this moment

tbqhwy New York is pretty dirty
their subways look like and smell like ass

Mexico city's(at least the good parts) looked clean

No lad relax, dont be fooled
I have a friend that lives in a house of that style and for the most part there is nothing wrong, he has everything and shit but, its the zone that matters

Yeah, no. Your pic is way bigger and it clearly has better services.

>Neza-Chalco-Izta in Mexico City, is a Ciudad Perdida, rated as the world's largest mega-slum in 2006. The area extends towards the municipalities of Chimalhuacan, Los Reyes to the west of Ixtapaluca and South of Neza and Ecatepec de Morelos north of Neza in the metropolitan area periphery and with Santa Marta Acatitla in the Distrito Federal's borough of Iztapalapa.

Those are the slums here, what do you want me to tell you? I didn't make the rules.
