- The London weekly The Economist published the ranking of the best cities to live in the world.
- The best in Latin America is Buenos Aires.
- The best city to live in Mexico: Monterrey. The problem is that the networks warn that “there is no water.”
The image of the brand “The Economist” is suffering criticism from users of social networks because the British weekly placed Monterrey in the best place in the ranking of cities to live in Mexico.
The problem? The novelty occurs just when Nuevo León is suffering from a fierce water crisis, with permanent water supply cuts and serious sanitary difficulties.
According to the “habitability” study carried out by The EconomistMonterrey is ranked 11th in the Latin American ranking, surpassing others such as San Miguel de Allende (Guanajuato), Oaxaca and CDMX (which was ranked fourteenth).
To position itself as the best city to live in Mexico, The Economist highlights the cultural and entertainment offer of the city, as well as its infrastructure and general stability. However, he warns of mobility and security problems.
One of the factors that benefited Monterrey was the rapid easing of coronavirus restrictions. The Economist, a liberal weekly read by the UK ruling classes, was always against Covid-related limitations.
critics
Although the discussion of the results was made now, evidently the ranking was prepared before knowing that Monterrey was going to suffer from the severe drought.
Likewise, criticism on social networks has been felt. “Was the rating before or after they were left without a drop of water?”, “And without water, so that the chilangos and jalisquillos burn more”, “It is seen that The Economist does not know what is happening in Monterrey ”, are some of the comments.
The Economist points to Monterrey as the best city in Mexico to live in 😂😂😂 note that it does not say that this includes being able to bathe.
