Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Or, to revive a term from long ago... "Yankee, Go Home!" It seems that Americans - evidently many from california - have worn out their welcome in Mexico: Mexico City residents angered by influx of Americans speaking English, gentrifying area: report Apparently those legal, generous spending English speakers just ain't welcome no mo'. I reckon I know where I won't be goin' for a vacation. By the way... those folk would feel right at home in the california town I live near. Quote An influx of Californians and other Americans has made its way to Mexico City, angering some locals who say they are gentrifying the area, according to a report.... Mexican locals are "fed up" with the growing number of Americans, many from California, moving to and visiting the country, which has contributed to a rise in rent and a shift from Spanish to English in some places.... Americans have brought a scent of "new-wave" imperialism as taquerias and corner stores have slowly transformed into coffee shops and Pilates studios....

I had an apartment in Norfolk when I was in the Navy for a few months. I was not welcomed there so my wife and I moved to Hampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Jack Calder Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 In 69 my wife and I rented a furnished appt in Norfolk. My ship was in the yard for work so I wasn’t going anywhere soon. My wife was in the laundry room when another female tenet walked in. She saw my summer whites with the PO3 stripes on the sleeve. Her reaction was, “I thought this apartment complex was for Officers.” Nope the management were an equal opportunity landlord. Money is money no mater who hands it over.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 TS! Now maybe they will get some of what we get when their people come up here. I hope that most of liberal Californians (and other lefties) go down there and impose their crap on Mexico the way their people have done to us.

Americans - even those from california - mostly go there to spend money they bring with them. The folks from their side of the border are coming here to... well... well... well, certainly not to spend money they bring with 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
