Mexico
Northridge School Seeks Teachers
ON SAFETY in MEXICO CITY
I am writing you from Mexico City at the request of my friend Tony Janeiro, whom you know. My name is Brad McBride, I am a professor of Business and Finance at a university in Mexico City, ITAM (Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México). Tony mentioned that you are considering teaching at Northridge School here but have some reservations about the issue of crime and insecurity in this city and country. Tony asked me to give you a frank appraisal of how I see it being an American and resident in Mexico for the past 24 years.
I believe that currently, Mexico City is (ironically) safer, much safer, than the northern regions of the country. What many Americans do not understand is that the narcoviolence plaguing Mexico is generally concentrated in the northern states, such as Chihuahua (especially Ciudad Juárez), Nuevo León (around Monterrey), Tamaulipas (south of Brownsville, Texas), and secondly, in the Pacific coast state of Sinaloa, and maybe somewhat in Michoacán. But truthfully, and this is not "chamber of commerce" style propaganda, Mexico City is a better place to live than ever. It reminds me of Dickens' words in "Tale of Two Cities": "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Mexico City has improved due to better air quality (with the introduction of unleaded gasoline at Pemex stations), with the increase in real estate values causing factories to move out of the immediate city to places beyond the valley on the other side of the mountains, meaning there is less air pollution, and by the introduction of one day per week without a car programs, here known as "Hoy no circula".
The crime rate is perhaps a little better (lower) than it was before, but it is definitely not worse. Many foreigners have come to live here and certain neighborhoods such as la Condesa, la Roma Norte, Santa María la Ribera and others have become fashionable places for young creative types, sort of like on the North Side of Chicago or the Upper West Side of Manhattan, etc. I find this city to be an endlessly fascinating place and if one uses one's wits, one will not get in trouble. Don't get in an unlicensed "gypsy cab" but use a "taxi de sitio", don´t wander through unsafe neighborhoods at night. Don't dress ostentatiously with Rolex watches, etc. and other fancy adornments. Don't drive a Mercedes Benz or Hummer through the streets of the city, as that calls attention. But if you live modestly, you will most likely be all right.
Meanwhile, this city offers the greatest of offerings of restaurants (food from all over the world, not just tacos and enchiladas), movies (foreign films from all over the world at the Cineteca Nacional), concerts, music, orchestras, symphonies, bookstores, magnificent parks (the Parque México in la colonia Hipódromo Condesa neighborhood is stunningly beautiful), museums (el Museo Nacional de Antropología, el museo histórico del Castillo de Chapultepec, el Museo de Bellas Artes, el Palacio Nacional, etc., etc., etc. there are too many to mention in full.) This city is also a major financial center for Latin America, and if you wish to learn about finance in emerging markets, it is a great place for that. The social life is grand, there are many friendly people here, and many of them sit out at restaurants on the sidewalks until the late hours of the evening socializing. All of this which I greatly enjoy makes it difficult for me to ever think about leaving, so most likely I will be here until I retire in the distant future, primero Dios, as they say in this country.

Don't get in an unlicensed "gypsy cab" but use a "taxi de sitio", don´t wander through unsafe neighborhoods at night. Don't dress ostentatiously with Rolex watches, etc. and other fancy adornments. Don't drive a Mercedes Benz or Hummer through the streets of the city, as that calls attention. But if you live modestly, you will most likely be all right.
Meanwhile, this city offers the greatest of offerings of restaurants (food from all over the world, not just tacos and enchiladas), movies (foreign films from all over the world at the Cineteca Nacional), concerts, music, orchestras, symphonies, bookstores, magnificent parks (the Parque México in la colonia Hipódromo Condesa neighborhood is stunningly beautiful), museums (el Museo Nacional de Antropología, el museo histórico del Castillo de Chapultepec, el Museo de Bellas Artes, el Palacio Nacional, etc., etc., etc. there are too many to mention in full.) This city is also a major financial center for Latin America, and if you wish to learn about finance in emerging markets, it is a great place for that. The social life is grand, there are many friendly people here, and many of them sit out at restaurants on the sidewalks until the late hours of the evening socializing. All of this which I greatly enjoy makes it difficult for me to ever think about leaving, so most likely I will be here until I retire in the distant future, primero Dios, as they say in this country.
