Well since Mexico City is many thousands of feet above sea level it will take a while.

Well, the city was built atop an aquifer or somesuch, and so it is sinking and become unstable. So the land will be unbuildable at some point.

Well, not to worry about the ocean for sure, but since it's built on an old lake (literally) the water problem is just as severe, and immediate.

Mexico City is build over a lake that has been filled in over the years, but the lake is still there somewhere.
