You want highly-paid people who could live anywhere they wanted in the world to move to Mexico? How many people that get paid bay area salaries but work remotely do you think live in Mexico?

I'd move to Mexico. My purchasing power would skyrocket, and from what I've seen Mexico City is pretty cool.

It's obviously got some downsides, like not being an English speaking country, which is probably why it's not happening

No the downsides of Mexico are the insecurity, the pollution and the endemic corruption of authorities.

Not speaking english is a fake problem. You can learn spanish in 6 months if you live in the country, it's not a very hard language and Mexican are very social people.

As a Canadian, I'd move to Mexico if I was paid the same as I'm making now. Of course no company would be happy to have that happen ;-)

Plus, I'm already used to going to Mexico in winter for a week on a beach, and Mexican food is delicious.

If you get a remote working gig, you can work from anywhere. I regularly get contracted by americans and still work from my bedroom in France.
