Like this case of gentrification, in May 2022 we reported the case of a real estate agency that promoted a housing development located in Tacubaya, as a home located in Condesa Sur.
“Spacious and well lit Loft in Condesa Sur, Miguel Hidalgo, 68566″, he used the Homie platform on that occasion, to advertise an apartment that had a rent of more than 16 thousand pesos.
On that occasion, tiktokers like Rucky Solis (@ruckysolis, TikTok) made fun of the marketing strategy used by housing developers to make it appear that their works are located in an area of great added value, when in reality they are located in an area close to the Condesa neighborhood.
After publicizing the case, users such as Mauricio Hernandez They mocked and assured that Tepito will now be known as “Ampliación Centro”, while users like Yadira Garza gave their testimony and acknowledged that “on Airbnb I rented something that according to it was in Reforma Centro and very well located. a few minutes from the fine arts and nothing that almost ends in La Lagunilla, almost reaching Garibaldi”.
The gentrification that Mexico City is suffering is leaving very important testimonies on social networks, which are worth considering, to understand this phenomenon.
