@BackOnMyBS well if you are American like me, you can work your butt off to buy a house one day. If you don't like the neighborhood, you can actually sell your house and move. Ofcourse this means you will pay 5% and 10% that to the realtor, and the bank and uncle sam...do you are basically setting your self up for highway robbery when you sell. But in Mexico, you can be born to a family that has a house or you can build one on your dad's land. You can't easily sell. Certainly you can't escape.
