What are the pros and cons of living in Guadalajara?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Guadalajara responded:

"Expats and digital nomads in Guadalajara enjoy the city's vibrant culture, friendly locals, and affordable cost of living. They also appreciate the city's excellent infrastructure, with reliable public transportation and a wide range of modern amenities. Additionally, the city's mild climate and proximity to the beach make it an ideal place to live. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the language barrier and lack of English-speaking services to be a challenge. Additionally, the city's high crime rate can be a concern for some," said one member in Guadalajara.

"I like the weather, cost of rent, fresh food don't like: dogs barking, heavy traffic," remarked one expat in Guadalajara.
