COMMENTS: San Miguel is the New Sun City
Well done Jeffrey Kofman! Congratulations for landing an assignment in San Miguel de Allende in the central highlands of Mexico for ABC. Kofman profiled the coming trend of cross border migration: not immigrants heading north to work illegally but the elderly heading south to stretch their retirement dollars into pesos. Kofman showed us a newly-constructed assisted living facility in San Miguel and listed the cheap cost of eldercare there: daily cooking and cleaning by a housekeeper--$100 per week; assisted living accommodation--$1400 per month; daily medical care for Alzheimer's patients--$1,000 per month. In the United States the Alzheimer's care is thirteen times more expensive.
