[Ever notice that pretty much every home that they feature has bars on the windows and doors? Not a chance I would visit Mexico and live there...no way!]
That’s actually pretty common outside of the US, even in places where homicides are a fraction of US levels. What is shocking to expats I’ve spoken to, is the sliding glass doors on single story American homes. It looks to them like a standing invitation for burglary or home invasion.
