Gringo Groans: Mexican City Too… Mexican, Apparently

Another day, another expat in Latin America realizing the locals actually *live* here. While no specific fresh complaint hit the wire in the last 48 hours – because really, who needs a new one when the classics are so enduring? – the ongoing collective groan about Mexico City being too 'chaotic' or 'lacking familiar comforts' continues to echo across Reddit forums and expat groups. It's a relentless chorus of 'Why isn't it exactly like my country, but cheaper?' Meanwhile, the waves are too good to even notice.
