>>401928>>407799>>410592jajaja wey soy mexicano y no estoy enterado para nada de la política del país. Por lo general evito enterarme porque nada más me enojo.
tl;dr en la consulta?
>>410667It's all in private hands, yes. There's a lot of corruption. So even if there is funding, things like sidewalks and streets have very high costs and are constantly being defunded anyways.
I'm not sure where your picture is, but that building looks old. I bet its in what used to be downtown of the city decades ago, and is now mostly inhabited by poorer people.
>>410690The places that look actually nice are usually very car centric. There's obviously privilege attached to owning a car. Economic inequality is high in Mexico. So you basically end up with this shit.
So, in summary I think it's a combination of things:
- poverty
- corruption makes the upkeep of anything by the government really expensive and frequently just fails, as in, people just pocket the money and call the job done.
- economic inequality means that there's few parts of the city that are more maintained, but they are usually inaccessible to pedestrians.
- urban sprawl is insane in some cities because of cars which makes it really expensive to upkeep everything.
