-luxury shopping malls all over the place, multistory, fully enclosed, underground parking with armed security checkpoints.
-The US embassy moved from a high profile location on a main thoroughfare into one of these luxury shopping and residential districts, walled off from the rest of the city

-perhaps as a result of traffic, residential and office towers are going up all over the place. People who can afford it are moving in droves to the city center.
-the nicest McDonalds restaurants you’ve ever seen. Whoever is in charge of McDs brand there has positioned it as a quasi-luxury brand.

Really??!! You choose a picture of avocados to go with this article?
The top imports from Mexico to US are cars, auto parts and electronics.
But sure, let’s pander to stereotypes and give Americans the impression that trump’s tariffs will make tacos more expensive.

I legitimately wonder: how many extreme weather days do school districts around here schedule in? And since snow is less common than it once was, are they more likely to call it due to cold since they have so many days to use up? I do remember school being closed in 1994 for -20 temps though
