CDMX grows by building up and reusing what already exists. Zoning, permits, and enforcement decide where towers rise, how many units are legal, and who can afford to live near work and transport.
Rents move with supply, demand, and rules—short-term rentals, student demand, and office-to-residential conversions all shift the map. Infrastructure capacity—water, transport, waste—determines whether new homes actually function block by block.
Good policy is measurable: clear plans, public documents, and enforcement that matches what’s on the street. We follow that chain from Council vote to keys in hand.
