One of my kids was beaten and his bike stolen where we previously lived... Juana, who has been living in a gated community in Querétaro Mexico for 15 years, said that, although they decided to live in that community because of its proximity to shops and the availability of good roads connections, security has turned out to be an important element: I know three families here who chose this gated community as a place of residence due to kidnappings in other cities. Estefanía, a resident of a gated community located in Querétaro, gave her personal experience: We had a great disadvantage, which is that Jorge, our only child, was not able to play outdoors because the area outside our home was an open space, it was a sloped street and his security was a matter of concern to us.
Por su parte, Juana, quien vive en una urbanización cerrada de Querétaro, México, manifestó que si bien ellos eligieron ese lugar para vivir ahí hace 15 años por su ubicación cercana a comercios y con buenas vías de acceso, la seguridad es ahora un elemento muy importante: "aquí conozco tres familias que han venido a vivir a este fraccionamiento, a esta colonia, por secuestros en otras ciudades".
