Protests have intensified in Mexico City as residents express frustration over evictions and the rising cost of living, particularly the surge in rental prices. The gentrification of central neighborhoods, driven in part by remote workers and short-term rentals such as Airbnb, has led to displacement of many young people to the city's periphery. In boroughs like Cuauhtémoc, less than 51% of residents own their homes, highlighting a broader housing crisis. According to data from the Consejo de la Juventud, the average rent consumes about 92% of the average salary, contributing to a low emancipation rate of 15.2% at the end of 2024. Organizations are calling for dignified housing and support against unjust evictions. Similar concerns have been raised in other Mexican states, such as Querétaro, where real estate agents support implementing rental controls. The situation reflects challenges faced by young workers, characterized by informal employment, limited benefits, and long working hours, which further complicate their ability to afford independent living.
