It's really amazing how Guadalajara, in Jalisco, has attracted both Mexicans who are retiring after working in America as well as retired Americans wanting a better lifestyle on their retirement income.

The Lake Chapala neighborhoods are quite luxurious and the city itself has been built into a recreation of an American city surrounding the quaint old colonia center.

While the only gasoline available in Mexico is Pemex, Guadalajara features ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron and BP. There is one of the largest shopping malls I have ever seen, featuring real goods as well as inexpensive nice fakes of most brand name goods, as well as the Tlaquepaque shopping district. Very nice restaurants as well as the usual selection of Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Pollo Loco (as well as local knock-offs Pollo Allegro, El Pollo Pepe, and my favorite tongue in cheek name El Pollo Norteño "the northern chicken" in reference to American style Pollo Loco taste).

It's a short, inexpensive, 45 minute flight from either Mexico City or coastal cities like Puerta Vallarta or Acapulco.

If I were a retired worker from Mexico that's where I'd retire. Anyone who'd stay in Southern California on a limited budget deserves their hellish existence.
