When their drug-voilence gets under control fully, it might be the best place(economically) for start-ups too, why outsource anywhere else when Mexico is so close and _safe_
- adventured 11y agoI think Mexico will probably do very well over the next 20 some years. I expect we'll see most of the war on drugs come to an end, with Canada / US / Mexico all legalizing pot and decriminalizing some of the other drugs that drive a lot of the drug violence. Their GDP per capita will probably double in just the next 10-12 years, essentially catching up to mid-development European countries like Portugal, Slovenia and Czech.
- ausjke 11y agoMexico plans to legalized all drugs in 10 years, that definitely will put the drug war to an end.
- WildUtah 11y agoMexico City is already safe. Mérida, a big city in the Yucatan, is extremely safe -- Japan level safe. Immigration is easy for educated professionals and teams. Urban living is cheap and has amenities comparable to SF or NY. Language is a barrier, though. PR is a barrier. The business culture is more Wall Street or Bourbon Street than Sand Hill Road. Still, it's a great place to come to.
