I've been to Mexico a few times, and I never would have described it that way to anybody. I literally saw people living in sheds when I went there.

    I haven't been to Mexico City, but I did get to go to Puerto Vallarta, and it seemed to match that person's experience. It was safe, cheap, and beautiful. Honestly I don't remember seeing people living in sheds, but it might have been outside of the places we visited. Traffic was annoying, but less than a similar-sized city in the US. It helped that lot of people walked or used bikes. And the food was really fresh.

    The guy we were visiting was from the US and had moved there essentially because it was so nice while still having a very low cost of living compared to probably anywhere in the US. He mentioned the culture there was much more relaxed about time, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had a lot in common with OP's view of Southern Europe.

    Who will provide the grand design:
    What is yours and what is mine?
    Cause there is no more new frontier.
    We have got to make it here.

    We satisfy our endless needs,
    And justify our bloody deeds,
    In the name of destiny,
    And in the name of God.
