Mexico City is incredibly diverse, beautiful, cosmopolitan, and many people speak English. I could see it working.

Toronto has a hard enough time attracting free agents in the NBA, and that’s another English speaking city right across the border. I think Mexico City is too far to work, at least right now.

I’ve always wondered if Monterrey would be a good candidate for expansion, though. Closer to the US, wealthy city, well developed, etc.

Mexico city is as close to new york as seattle is.

Its closer than Los Angeles to new york and chicago.

Its not very far at all.

It’s also the capital city of a third world country, along with Mexico having some of the most dangerous cities in the world. It’s beautiful for vacations, but it would be really hard to persuade millionaires to live there for years
