As remote work in the age of COVID-19 is forecast to stay for many Americans, more and more professionals are choosing new places to live. Lately, more Americans have been choosing to live in Mexico, including Mexico City.
It has become a top destination for young professionals working remotely, CBS News correspondent Enrique Acevedo reports.
"Now we have younger Americans that can work remotely looking for a better quality of life ... and they're coming now to Mexico City," said Alexandra Demou, founder of a relocation and real estate company called Welcome Home Mexico.
"They love the climate," she said. "They love the people, the culture, the food, the beauty."
"Yes, of course, safety can be an issue. ... And when I say quality of life, I mean of course, we can't avoid the fact that your dollar goes a long way in Mexico," she added.

family friends originally from Montana, who is a sculptor - which doesn't allow for working remotely, LOL - moved to Mexico several years ago.
And yes, she loves it there, where she lives in a municipality of about 60,000 people in eastern Mexico that is well-known for its cultural, foreign and cosmopolitan nature and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
While safety can be a concern, it can certainly be mitigated by taking precautions and she does take them. Given the percentage of gun ownership by irresponsible and lunatic persons in the US, however, it is not necessarily safer in the US for anyone these days.
