Question

Why does mexico city feel like a small, gossipy town of 200 people instead of a megalopolis of 25+ million?

Answer 1

You have to know that that is matematically impossible.

I live in Mexico city, and I never heard anything about you.

Answer 2

maybe you went to tijuana?

Answer 3

Really..

Tell me where please, in order to move...

Its very crowdy..

And noisy

Or if you are talking about bad gossiping, its one of the national sports, everybody knows someone or heard about something or someone, its a second hand gossip

Answer 4

I guess that happens to you because you only visit a small part of the whole city; you must have been between Santa Fe and El Zócalo (this area is going only thru Reforma avenue: Santa Fe, Chapultepec, Polanco, Mazarik, La Condesa y El Centro), maybe you went to Coyoacán too; but I'm sure you didn't go to the whole Mexico city metropolitan area, which is much more bigger than the small touristic area. The touristic area is clean and plenty full with policemen. Check in Google Earth the area you visit, and then try to move thru the whole city. That would be fun!

Answer 5

Are you sure you are referring to Mexico City? I have traveled the world over and I haven't seen one place as packed as this, everywhere you go is crowded, the supermarket, the movies, streets, everywhere.... maybe you were in Santa Fe on a sunday when nobody is there....

Answer 6

Mexicans : "we know too much"

.... and  many people from small province move to live in Mexico city : )  

I used to live in Mexico city and I found there that people like to talk with others as if we know each other for several years, then we know too much about others...as if that is one of the small province towns... It is a challenger city.
