The Mexican city with the best quality of life, as voted by the people who live there, may come as something of a surprise, but the nation’s worst is a no-brainer.
In a poll of residents in cities throughout Mexico, the Pacific coast city of Colima was the runaway winner, followed by Merida, on the Yucatan Peninsula, and Queretaro, a colonial city in center of the country.
In last place, of course: Mexico City, the 20 million strong monster that apparently has the country’s most pessimistic residents. How down are residents on their city? Mexico City came in 33rd place when it came to the availability of cultural activities, which is akin to a New Yorker complaining that there is nothing to do.
The resort city of Acapulco took the prize for worst public security as residents deal with an all-out drug war that has raged for the past two years.
The rankings by the Reforma newspaper were based on residents’ ratings of their cities in 15 categories, including things like air quality (Cancun was first) and infrastructure (Aguascalientes is the best). |
