Zetas aren't going to let go of Monterrey, and the Gulf Cartel is determined to make that happen.

@tito1894 IT IS SAD, BUT IT'S TRUE.

Than L.A.?

[monicabenvids]

@tepeyac10 Actually it is... you can invastigate it.

[tepeyac10]

Also take into account the brain drain and loss of foreign investment that is occurring due to the violence.

[tepeyac10]

You're right. However that's like saying Houston is richer tha L.A. Monterey is also more dangerous than Guadalajara.

[seeleherz]

@tepeyac10 That´s actually why Monterrey is considered wealthier than Mexico City and Guadalajara, because of less people producing more money, although in real terms we know Mty is not actually richer than Mexico City but it is indeed richer than Guadalajara, which is not even close to the amount of money produced in Mty, and let's not talk about HDI because Guadalajara's is far from being close to Mty and Mexico City.
