NOT DANGEROUS
The people who get mugged first are people like Armando, I don’t know if he is just putting a show but the whole thing is ridiculous. Armando and Kenny, are like going to Medellin Market and living in the Roma neighbourhood (that’s where all the foreigners live) it’s also one of the safest neighbourhoods in the city. It’s not like he is living in Oceania, Iztapalapa, La Viga or even Tláhuac. I’m born and raised in Mexico City, and I can say I have visited most of the city, and Armando being all freaked out about the city it’s like no dude, you don’t know the hoods in the city.
For anyone watching I can just tell you to come to visit Mexico City, the food it’s amazing from Michelin restaurants to stalls on the street, there is a lot of night life and if that’s not your thing there a lot of museums and beautiful architecture.
I’m on episode 2 so no spoilers please!
But I will say Baltimore is fucking rough. Newark and Camden NJ are rough AF. And currently New Orleans has a police officer shortage, they’re recruiting civilians for non violent crimes and ticketing. Violent crimes are skyrocketing, businesses are closing shop. I work in New Orleans on the weekends and I saw ZERO cops for three days, there used to be cops on horses for crowd control on Bourbon Street. There was a shop that got robbed, and they called the cops, the cops didn’t show up until the next day. After dark I pretty much park wherever I want at this point, civilians aren’t volunteering to ticket the quarter late at night. So I’ll give them Nola, multiple parts of Jersey, and Baltimore.
