I was actually in Baja Mexico a few weeks ago and the house prices there are growing too. I was seeing plots of land for 50-70k USD. You know the prices are going to be high when the signs are in English and phone numbers are American.<p>Also, I'm about 90% sure you have to be a Mexican citizen to own land in Mexico otherwise you can only lease the land. This might be hearsay though.
Not even going to click the link, as I'm sure it's a germ of an interesting data point wrapped in self-conflagratory turd.<p>For every "exodus" article, is statistics that show fairly typical ebbs and flows (and I say this as someone who is happy when more folks move out of this state) and I'd argue the sudden extra interest in foreign property is loosely coupled to crypto-fever and everyone wanting to buy up "cheap" whatever physical assets they can before the inevitable bubble pop.
I knew an artist who saved his money and bought a small house on a plot in rural Central America.. he was kind and alone, and he was attacked with a machete one day and told never to return.. he obliged .. true
Is there a reason more people don't live in the many american territories and compact of free association nations? Some of the territories and compact nations have cheap urban (and rural) land (or leases) and there is no need for a visa to remain indefinitely.
