Reports indicate growing concerns regarding infrastructure neglect and sanitation failures in various Mexican cities. In León, Guanajuato, merchants at the Descargue Estrella market have reported persistent sewage leaks and stagnant wastewater on Amores and Torreón streets, leading to health concerns and reduced business. 

In Puerto Vallarta, sanitation and maintenance issues have been highlighted by a severe sewage leak flowing from Callejón Pedregoso toward the Malecón and the sea. The city is also facing criticism over abandoned public works projects. These include the stalled renovation of the municipal presidency’s office and unfinished street and sanitary network repairs in the Idipe and Emiliano Zapata neighborhoods, which have left roads impassable and created safety hazards for residents.
