      My MIL and FIL were just down there visiting family and told me that they’ve built what are essentially giant walled off communities full of houses and businesses that are essentially their own independent cities where people never need to leave and security doesn’t allow any unauthorized individuals inside.

      I saw similar things when visiting a resort outside of Playa Del Carmen when we’d hired a local cab driver in Playa to take us around for the day and drop us off at the resort. Security checked us all for our passes but chilled out a little once they saw me (a gringo) in the taxi van with everyone else.
