I’ve been visiting Merida, and I’ve noticed what seems to be a profound sense of apathy.

People seem to pay little regard to decrepit, unpainted buildings; broken sidewalks and park benches; and trash all over the city, among other things. The bus stop on Canek across from the Walmart at the Periférico is like a garbage dump, and many bus stops and public places seem to lack trash cans.

Why is no one apparently bothered by the degradation of the city?
