Mexico: Landslides Threaten High-End Real Estate

  • 9 years ago
Mexico City's high-end residential neighborhood of Santa Fe is nervously awaiting the results of an investigation promised by authorities into last month's landslides that put the luxury real estate at risk.

The phenomenon is city-wide as high-end construction has proceeded at a rapid pace without the necessary permits or controls. Clayton Conn reports from Mexico City. teleSUR
