Of course, ... most people have another idea of what Mexico City looks like. Maybe thanks to movies or crappy Border towns, on both sides of the border. Like every huge city, there are good parts of town and bad parts. This metropoli competes with the way of living of NY, Chicago and LA. There is absolutely nothing you can't find in Mexico City. Yes, crime is bad, but on par with cities of this size. Thanks to Hollywood, people have the totally wrong idea about this city. Just like people outside of Texas think there are only cowboys riding horses in the state.
By the way, Engadget, you got it wrong, Mexico City has 24 million people, not 8.7.
