Visited Mexico 3 times, starting in 3rd grade. Only time I felt unsafe was going through a Federales checkpoint and an officer walked up to the car with a submachine gun.
You’re damn right about the poverty, but for the most part, people are nice, they just want to be, and let others be.
But what you gotta known is that feeling safe and being safe are two different things. And I agree on the people. People are nice, I got family there in several States which I will not mention but are the famous ones lol. One time I met someone from Coahuila… 1 time.
Some place not being safe is defined as greater than n rate of insert list of bad things per capita.
For most folks 100 in 100k murdered annually is pretty unsafe whereas 5 is pretty safe.
But even if it were 1000 in 100k the other 99k still living could argue its not that bad!
You basically can’t go to almost any population center without what the civilized world considers unacceptable risk whereas I can stroll through the “bad” part of my city at 2AM and mostly risk seeing gross people doing drugs.
Mexico is objectively unsafe. Some parts of states are too like st Louis
