Tulum, Oaxaca, Mazatlan, Monterey, and other places. Legit never had a problem. Just as scary as the US can be and just as nice.

Sorry to hear that. Visiting where?

I was doing the mobile phone typing.

The housekeepers were immigrants and saving up to open AirBnB properties in Mexico as their next salary/profession/business.

They were going down to check on what they were investing in or actually buy the properties or something similar to that.

I don't know where it was. It was probably close to one of the vacation areas which are supposed to be safer. Not sure if it was their home town / area or not.

And then there are stories like this:

I suppose you can point to killings in the US and turf wars and the like, but ... the vacation areas are supposed to be more heavily policed / controlled since they are such huge profit centers.

Mexico City. Just don't do the dumb risque stuff Americans take for granted as reasonable (going out late alone, doing drugs, etc.).
