My Place Under the Sun - Tlaxco. Tlaxco Part II Mexicans are land conscious. The last revolution was largely about land ownership.
Women like to own their own home.
They usually start out by buying a lot, or someone gives them a lot, and then they take forever finishing their house. At first the family may be living in a two-room shack, such as you see at the frontier. But eventually they may have a lovely big house. One reason is that there is very little home financing available, interest is high, and essentially no long term financing, partially due to the history of drastic fluctuations in the peso. Americans aren't like that.
