💨 Abstract

Mexico City is addressing gentrification amid protests over rising housing prices and influx of "digital nomads." Mayor Clara Brugada's plan includes rent regulation and a list of reasonable rentals. The city will open discussions about the plan. Past protests, condemned for xenophobia, highlighted concerns about housing unaffordability. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has prioritized this issue amid backlash from agreements promoting tourism and short-term rentals.
