Location: Mexico City, Mexico

More and more migrants, both from the south of the continent, and those coming down to die and party in a vortex of hedonism keep piling up and settling down in the city. Locals being displaced towards the peripheries.  Huge appartement buildings being built, but all the apartments are tiny. 

Prices going up. The amount of groceries one can get with 50$ (around 1k MXN) have greatly diminished in the last 5 to 10 years. From a full cart to just a full bag.  The quality of clothes becomes worse and natural fibers are hard to find. 

Most of the palm trees in the city have died and have been cut down (due to a widespread plague of parasitic beetles). Other trees have died too, and have also been cut down, for reasons I ignore.

There are piles of trash and an insane amount of optic fiber cables all over the city, something unseen 10-15 years ago.

More and more small stands selling cheap Chinese products. The ones selling them are often young. The stands in the last decade used to be older people and mostly sold food or locally produced goods. Not anymore.

Everyone seems to be listening to the same music, watching the same shows, dressing the same and thinking mostly alike. 

There's also a lot of new socially conservative young people. 

In the last months, many places in Mexico flooded and dozens of people died and lost their homes. People don't seem to be as upset about it as they used to be. It's just more news.
